Live Poll

Should your city approve large mixed-use housing projects with affordable units near busy streets?

The Charles Company has proposed a revised Melrose Triangle development at 9060 Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. The plan includes 282 one- and two-bedroom apartments, including 66 senior affordable units, along with about 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

Why it matters

The revision shifts an office-heavy concept toward a mixed-use project with substantial housing in West Hollywood's commercial corridor. It follows more than a decade of proposals for the nearly 2.7-acre site.

The site spans nearly 2.7 acres and the new buildings would rise five to eight stories around a central courtyard. The project would provide parking for 528 vehicles.

Commercial Shift

The revised Melrose Triangle departs from the original office-heavy concept, which had limited residential uses, by adding 282 apartments and senior affordable units. This reflects the project's evolution over more than 10 years of proposals on the 2.7-acre Santa Monica Boulevard site.

Residents and businesses near Melrose Triangle may see construction activity once the project moves forward, though no timeline has been announced. The mix of apartments, retail and 528 parking spaces would shape how people reach and use the Santa Monica Boulevard corridor.

The takeaway

The revised Melrose Triangle plan signals a shift toward housing alongside commercial space on a long-stalled West Hollywood site. Readers tracking local development should watch for a timeline as the project advances.
