130 College Project

The 130 College Project, managed by the City of Los Angeles, involves the removal of an existing surface parking lot to construct a five-story commercial development at 130 West College Street. The proposed 232,802-square-foot building will feature 224,597 square feet of office space, 4,095 square feet of restaurant space, and 4,110 square feet of retail use on a 2.2-acre site. The development will have a maximum height of 88 feet and a Floor Area Ratio of 2.42:1, with parking distributed across one subterranean level, one at-grade level, and one above-grade mezzanine level. The project is subject to extensive environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, with a Final Environmental Impact Report and a Mitigation Monitoring Program established to manage impacts on air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, vibration, and utilities. Key technical assessments include a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, a Paleontological Resources Assessment, and a Tribal Cultural Resources report. Specific requirements include the use of personnel meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards for cultural resource tasks and adherence to Assembly Bill 52 confidentiality protocols. The project was approved on August 26, 2026, following a public review process and the implementation of transportation demand management strategies to mitigate vehicle miles traveled.
