A New South LA Costco Could Have 800 Apartment Units Built Above It

According to KTLA 5, a real estate company has proposed on building a Costco in South Los Angeles along with a shopping center that includes 800 apartment units built on top of it.

“Mayor Bass has declared a housing emergency in Los Angeles, and we’re answering the call,” Jordan Brill of Thrive Living said in a statement.
“Our company is focused on addressing the severe housing affordability crisis in Los Angeles while also attracting retailers willing to make long-term commitments and deliver community-serving products and services that enrich the living experience for our residents and neighbors.”

Out of the 800 apartments, 184 of those will be used for low-income households that eligible residents with Section 8 vouchers can apply for. The vision for the whole complex is to have the 800 apartment units along with an optical and delivery service, a pharmacy, and healthy food options that have fresh produce.

“This is truly a game changer for us and a huge investment in the community. We are excited to have quality groceries close to home and all of the other services Costco provides,” said Brenda Ashby, an executive committee member of the Crenshaw Manor Community Association.

If this plan is approved, Costco believes that it will create about 400 new jobs. What do you think of this proposal?
