In my eyes, this is the final straw in what makes a perfect L.A. County infill development. Urban? Check. Dense? Check. Attractive with high quality materials (looks like no stucco, concrete instead)? Check. No parking, which encourages biking and use of transit? Check. Perfect.
Oh, and a rendering.

No onsite parking and "extra affordable units"? Will this be Section 8 housing, I wonder?
