Stupid horse nimbys.
They'd rather have a factory than a devlopment that will include a bridge which will benefit them.

Its called "The Platform" as the train platform. I get it now...lol I'm an idiot.

That's a nice parking structure.

I love the complete lack of stucco used for The Platform. Even the undersides of the overhangs are metal.

Man, that's awful. I get that one of the charms of LA is the rural/urban mashup, but the whole nimby approach here is terrible.

Hanover Company has filed plans for a mixed-use development at 6200 Sunset Boulevard, across the street from the Hollywood Palladium and Columbia Square.

270 apartments, 12,400 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

Finally! That thing is beyond hideous. Been hoping for a proposal to pop up for that lot.

Also of note is that Aids Healthcare Foundation (one of the groups fighting the Palladium Towers across the street) owns the Out of the Closet store that would be displaced if the existing building gets demolished.

I guess that explains why they were one of the groups opposing the project.

Ok, this is great to see Hanover is going to try to build in Hollywood again but what is their game plan to thwart the requisite lawsuits from La Mirada, Silverstein, Fix the City, etc? AHF filed a lawsuit against the proposed towers across the street, they sure as hell won't vacate this property without a lengthy legal battle.

Still seems insane to me. Why would this organization divert funds away from a very important cause, to fight a development that would bring many new potential customers to the immediate area?

NSMP · #**6292** Posted **Oct 5, 2015, 5:09 PM**

^well if the store is demolished then the "potential customers" won't be potential customers for them. Also, I don't think their opposition to the development likely has anything to do with diverting funds. My thought is maybe they're angling for relocation assistance.

Judging the size of the lot and the amount of units, this will most likely be a type III wood frame 6-7 story; not generally suit worthy in this part of Hollywood, but you never know. I would love to know what's going on with Hanover's Hollywood gower tower. Do they still own the property? Are they redoing the EIR? Are they waiting it out until the recode LA is solidified?

I'm referring to their opposition to the big project across the street, photo below-

http://la.curbed.com/archives/2015/0...um_appeals.php

From that post-

In their separate appeal, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which both rents and owns property in Hollywood and is headquartered there, says that they've heard from locals "who are concerned that the impact of this massive project on them is not being considered." While they're not against all development, says AHF, they are in favor of slowing down "unbridled" development in Hollywood

Why is any of that the concern of AHF?

NSMP · #**6295** Posted **Oct 5, 2015, 8:40 PM**

Gotcha, that does seem like a hard line stance for them to take on an issue that doesn't directly concern them

blackcat23 · #**6296** Posted **Oct 6, 2015, 2:19 PM**

Mixed-use development designed by TAG Architects going up at 5245 Santa Monica Boulevard in East Hollywood. Five stories, 49 residential units, 45,000 square feet of retail and office space.

colemonkee · #**6297** Posted **Oct 6, 2015, 2:49 PM**

Not bad! I'm interested to see what those brownish panels are made of, though. Still, nice massing, and a great way to break it up.

Spent many a night at Circus & Arena, sad to see them go. Was wondering why Gene hadn't proceeded with his plans.

I heard from a source whom I trust that Kilroy is behind the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's appeal, and this whole thing is about Columbia Square's views being potentially blocked by the Palladium project.

Its bad enough that we have so many NIMBY neighborhood groups in this town, but its straight up depressing that we have NIMBY developers too. And Kilroy isn't the only one, boys and girls.
