Mixed-Use Complex Planned for Hollywood Boulevard
Owners of 3.7-acre Toyota of Hollywood site to build 35-story multifamily tower.
The owners of the Toyota of Hollywood dealership at 6000 Hollywood Boulevard are planning to redevelop the high-profile property into a mixed-use project including a 35-story multifamily tower and a six-story office building.
The Sullivan family also will include a series of low-rise residential townhomes on the 3.7-acre site, which sits near the east end of the star-studded Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The overall project will encompass 350 units, including 44 units designated for low-income tenants, and 136K SF of office space. The plans also call for two levels of retail, public plazas and open space for movie screenings and outdoor dining.
“We have envisioned a truly mixed-use campus where people will be able to live, work and play right on Hollywood Boulevard,” owner Mike Sullivan said, in a statement.
Renderings for the project, which show the low-rise townhouses sprinkled between the two multistory buildings, were inspired by the “meandering and organic nature” of the surrounding Hollywood Hills, according to OFFICEUNTITLED, the design firm.
“Our design draws inspiration from the meandering and organic nature of the Hollywood Hills while recognizing the urban vitality of Hollywood’s rich past and bright future,” said Shawn Gehle, principal of the design firm, in a statement.
“The composition of a low-rise village as a counterpoint to the denser structures proposed at either end of the projects enables an urban-scaled framed view to emerge within the pedestrian-oriented heart of the project,” Gehle said.
City officials recently announced that construction along the Hollywood Walk of Fame will begin next summer to make streetscape improvements for pedestrians and transit riders.
The project will include an expanded pedestrian zone on part of Hollywood Boulevard, as well as sidewalk dining, bicycle racks, bus shelters, benches and landscaping.
Funding for $7.2M streetscape improvement program was provided by Measure M, a half-cent sales tax increase passed in 2016 to fund traffic, transit and transportation projects.
A master plan for the Hollywood Walk of Fame aims to create an inclusive space with wider sidewalks, additional shade trees, a protected mobility lane and pedestrian safety enhancements.
The plan will be enacted in phases, with the first segment—stretching from Gower Street to Wilcox Avenue—to be completed by 2024.
