Fidelity Real Estate Group provided the $27.19 million in joint venture equity for the project.

Upon completion in 2010, Jefferson at Hollywood will have 271 residential units averaging 881 square feet each, 8,500 square feet of ground-level retail space and a subterranean 755-space parking garage.

Amenities at the new complex will include a full-service business center, clubhouse with concierge services, movie theatre, pool, jacuzzi, outdoor grill area, lounge area and fitness center.

Jefferson at Hollywood is located on Highland Avenue adjacent to Hollywood & Highland, an entertainment center that houses the Kodak Theatre (bottom right photo).

The property is also within 500 feet of the MTA Red Line Station, which provides access to downtown Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.

“Despite ongoing redevelopment efforts in Hollywood, multifamily development in the area has been limited to less than 1,500 units since 1995, accounting for approximately 2% of current inventory,” said Sugimoto. “Jefferson at Hollywood will provide much needed rental housing in an area that is extremely underserved by modern multifamily product.”
