Signage posted recently at Sunset Boulevard and Harper Avenue reveals plans for a 16-story residential tower at 8240 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. The project would replace existing commercial uses and include 115 residential units.
Why it matters
The project relies on AB 2011, a state law that allows residential development on commercial corridors, and must provide 18 affordable units to qualify for density bonus incentives. It signals how state housing rules are reshaping commercial strips in West Hollywood.
The proposal calls for roughly 158,000 square feet across 16 stories, with 115 residential units, 2,282 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and two subterranean parking levels. Approval status and construction timing have not been disclosed.

Residents and businesses along the Sunset Strip may see construction activity and changes to street traffic if the project proceeds. The inclusion of 115 homes and 18 affordable units would add housing supply in West Hollywood.
