3822 South Figueroa Project

The 3822 South Figueroa Project is a mixed-use development in Los Angeles, California, led by the City of Los Angeles and applied for by Red Penguins QOZB, LLC. The project involves the construction of a seven-story building with a maximum height of 86 feet and a total floor area of 252,148 square feet on a 1.4-acre site. The development will feature 209 dwelling units, including 42 units designated for low, very low, and extremely low-income households, along with 2,705 square feet of ground-level retail and restaurant space. To facilitate this construction, eight multi-family residential buildings and existing surface parking areas will be demolished, seven of which are located within the Flower Drive Historic District. The project is subject to a comprehensive Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to ensure compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Key environmental considerations include significant and unavoidable impacts on historic resources, the management of greenhouse gas emissions, and the assessment of noise, air quality, and transportation impacts. The construction schedule is phased from January 2027 through the start of building construction in January 2028, covering demolition, site preparation, grading, and infrastructure improvements. Special requirements include the retention of a qualified professional archaeologist for ground-disturbing activities and strict adherence to Cal/OSHA safety regulations and fire protection standards.
