A 55-unit building in the Wilshire Corridor, converted into a 185-unit co-living property.

The owner wanted each two-bedroom split into four micro-units and each three-bedroom into six, without moving a single load-bearing concrete wall.

We worked the existing footprints room by room, engineering floor plans that fit inside the structure as it stood, so the conversion made financial sense.

55 units became 185, adding 130 rentable units without moving a single structural wall. Rents went from $4 to $12 per square foot, three times what the same building earned per square foot before, with its Class A feel intact.
