Jamison Nears Completion of 230-Unit Koreatown Apartment Project

• Jamison Services is nearing completion of an eight-story apartment building with 230 units at 626-634 St. Andrews Place in Koreatown.
• The transit-oriented development includes 23 extremely low-income affordable units and 800 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
• Amenities include a coworking space, a fitness center, screening room, pool deck, and a 133-car parking garage.

What Jamison Services Is Building

Construction is in its final stages on a new residential development at 626-634 St. Andrews Place in Koreatown. Developed by Jamison Services, the eight-story building will deliver 230 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments just west of the Wilshire/Western Metro station. The project also includes 800 square feet of ground-floor retail space and structured parking for residents. The development occupies a site that has been part of Jamison's long-term redevelopment plans for more than a decade.

What the Project Includes

The building was approved through Los Angeles' Transit Oriented Communities program, allowing for greater density in exchange for affordable housing. As part of the agreement, 23 apartments will be reserved for extremely low-income households. The project also includes a 133-car parking garage, with 50 spaces designated for the neighboring Wilshire Professional Building, another property owned by Jamison Services. The development combines housing, retail space, and parking within walking distance of public transit.

What the Design Looks Like

MVE + Partners designed the contemporary podium-style building. Residents will have access to a range of amenities, including a coworking space, a fitness center, a screening room, and a courtyard pool deck. The design reflects the growing demand for lifestyle-focused multifamily developments throughout urban Los Angeles neighborhoods. The building's location near transit and neighborhood retail further enhances its appeal to renters seeking a walkable environment.

What This Means for Koreatown

The project continues Jamison Services' significant role in shaping Koreatown's residential landscape. The company has developed numerous apartment projects throughout the neighborhood and remains one of the area's most active real estate owners. Beyond ground-up construction, Jamison has also gained attention for its adaptive reuse efforts along the Wilshire Corridor, where it has explored converting office properties into residential housing. The new development adds housing inventory in a market where demand for transit-accessible apartments remains strong.

What Happens Next

With construction nearing completion, the project is expected to welcome residents in the near future. The building represents the latest phase of Jamison Services' broader investment strategy in Koreatown and could eventually be followed by additional redevelopment opportunities, including potential residential conversion plans for the neighboring Wilshire Professional Building.
