West Hollywood approves mixed-use development

The West Hollywood City Council has approved a 10-story mixed-use development on Santa Monica Boulevard that will replace an old strip mall.

The four buildings at 7300-7328 Santa Monica Boulevard were approved Feb. 16.

The project will include 32,300 square feet of retail space, 294 condominiums and 76 units of affordable rental housing for senior citizens.

However, the approval came with a warning to residents and property owners in eastern West Hollywood, according to the WeHo News.

“So be wary. … West Hollywood east will soon become as desirable as West Hollywood west,” said Councilman John Duran.
