3822 South Figueroa Project

The 3822 South Figueroa Project in Los Angeles, California, is a major mixed-use development involving the demolition of eight existing multi-family residential buildings—seven of which are located within the Flower Drive Historic District—and the construction of a new seven-story building on a 62,988 square-foot site. The proposed structure will include 209 residential units, with designated allocations for low-income households (16 units), very low-income households (22 units), and extremely low-income households (four units), alongside 2,705 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space. The building will reach a maximum height of 86 feet and encompass a total floor area of 252,148 square feet. The project timeline spans multiple phases: demolition from January to March 2027, followed by site preparation, grading, and infrastructure improvements through the end of 2027, with building construction scheduled from January 2028 to December 2029 and architectural coating work concluding in October 2029. Off-site utility work, including trenching and paving, will occur concurrently during the early stages of site preparation. Performance is strictly tied to the site at 3822–3828 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90037, with all inspections and acceptance activities occurring on-site. Environmental and regulatory compliance forms a central component of the project’s execution. The contractor must adhere to stringent air quality standards enforced by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, including limits on visible emissions, fugitive dust (PM10 below 50 µg/m³), and VOC content in architectural coatings under Rule 1113. Compliance with state and federal regulations regarding asbestos handling (California Title 8), lead-based paint (Title 24 and 40 CFR 745), and OSHA construction safety protocols (29 CFR 1926) is mandatory. Emissions from construction equipment must meet CARB’s Tier 4 Final standards, and dust mitigation measures must prevent material from tracking onto public roads. Historic preservation protocols require the employment of a qualified project archaeologist and adherence to cultural resource protection training for workers. Inspection and acceptance oversight is shared between the contractor and government agencies including the City of Los Angeles, LADBS, LAFD, and SCAQMD, with final authority resting with the government.
