Ohr Haemet, a Pico-Robertson-based nonprofit developer led by Rabbi David Akhamzadeh, has filed plans to build a 150-unit affordable apartment complex in Mid-City. The project would replace three commercial buildings at 2600 South Robertson Boulevard, according to Urbanize Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The third-of-an-acre site would feature 150 studio and one-bedroom apartments, with 4,500 square feet of ground-floor shops and restaurants. The building would also have parking for 11 cars. The developer would use the mayor’s Executive Directive 1 (ED1) to streamline approval for affordable housing. Additionally, Akhamzadeh would employ density bonus incentives to build a larger building than zoning rules allow. All the apartments would be set aside for low- to moderate-income households.<\/p>\n
The project is designed by Metropolitan Architecture, a firm responsible for numerous ED1 projects. The plain white and black building would have two cut-outs on its upper three floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor, according to a rendering. The project site is near Apple’s new campus under construction on Venice Boulevard, as well as Culver City Station and Warner Bros. Discovery’s offices.<\/p>\n
Ohr Haemet was founded in 1994 by Akhamzadeh as a nonprofit religious corporation to promote Jewish education, ritual, and observance, according to state business records. Akhamzadeh is tied to the Ohr Haemet Institute in Pico-Robertson, where the incorporated nonprofit company is based.<\/p>\n

Ohr Haemet’s proposed 150-unit affordable complex in Mid-City is a significant step towards addressing the city’s housing crisis. By utilizing the mayor’s Executive Directive 1 and density bonus incentives, the developer is able to create a larger building that would not be possible under regular zoning rules. The project’s location, near major transportation hubs and commercial areas, makes it an attractive option for low- to moderate-income residents.<\/p>\n
