1100 E 5th Street Project

The 1100 East 5th Street Project, located at 1100 E. 5th St. and 506-530 S. Seaton St. in Los Angeles, California, involves the demolition of three warehouse buildings and a surface parking lot to make way for an eight-story mixed-use development. The project will feature 249,758 square feet of floor area on a 1.2-acre site, resulting in a Floor Area Ratio of 4.77:1. The development consists of 220 live/work units, with 11 percent designated as deed-restricted for Very Low Income households, 46,548 square feet of commercial space, and three levels of subterranean parking. A flexibility option is included that allows for the replacement of 20 live/work units with an additional 17,765 square feet of commercial use. Managed by the City of Los Angeles and the applicants WW-5th & Seaton LLC and XF-5th & Seaton LLC, the project has undergone a California Environmental Quality Act review. A Notice of Determination dated June 24, 2025, confirms the certification of an Environmental Impact Report and the adoption of a mitigation monitoring plan to address significant environmental effects. The City Council has partially denied and approved project appeals and issued a Statement of Overriding Considerations to move forward with the construction.
