LOS ANGELES-A $15-million affordable housing project that will include retail space begins construction this week in the downtown area.
The new Pershing Apartments are being developed by the Skid Row Housing Trust and are designed by Killefer Flammang Architects, which will retain the original Victorian façade of the commercial building that will house the project.
The five-story building was built more than 100 years ago. It will provide 69 units for homeless and low income individuals and replaces the original structure on the southeast corner of Fifth and Main streets, said a statement from Michael Alvidrez, executive director of the Skid Row Housing Trust. He was not immediately available for further comment.
