Llewellyn Will Welcome Residents to a Vibrant Neighborhood in January 2021
High Street Residential, the residential subsidiary of Trammell Crow Company, along with its partner, Principal Real Estate Investors, unveils Llewellyn, a 318-unit apartment community in Mission Junction on the eastern edge of Los Angeles’ Chinatown neighborhood. Located at 1101 North Main Street at the intersection of its namesake, Llewellyn Street, the new complex features generous two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio apartments with enviable amenities. The unit mix also includes 15 spacious ground-floor units with individual entrances and direct access to private outdoor patios. Llewellyn started pre-leasing in October and will open for residents in January 2021.
Llewellyn spans a full city block that borders Los Angeles State Historic Park, a 32-acre recreational area that opened in 2017. Llewellyn’s unique unit mix, which mainly consists of two-bedroom residences, caters to a variety of renters, including those who share the cost of living with a roommate, professionals and creatives who work remotely and need a private home office, and young families. Tailored amenities accommodate both professional and leisure activities and include a 1,700 square-foot co-lab workspace; a soundproof “jam” room; two expansive rooftop decks with mountain and cityscape views; three communal courtyards; a heated pool and spa; multiple indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces with fire pits and barbecue grills; an outdoor children’s play area; a double-height fitness center; a dog spa; and a bike service room.
“Over the last several years, this unique corner of Chinatown has drawn in some of LA’s best creators – from urban artists and craft producers to chefs, winemakers and brewers. Llewellyn offers a functional, amenity-rich home base for these individuals, while also inviting other bright minds to continue energizing the community,” said Alex Valente, senior vice president at High Street Residential. “The community has a broad appeal, and we look forward to welcoming the first residents in the new year and helping them explore the vibrant Mission Junction neighborhood and the incredible local businesses that operate here.”
Llewellyn derives its name from historic metal-making firm Llewellyn Iron Works, which supplied much of the steel that built early Los Angeles including the ironwork inside the Bradbury Building, a National Historic Landmark. The area surrounding Llewellyn is preceded by a rich industrial history that began with the construction of LA’s first transcontinental railroad station in the 1880s. This subsect of Chinatown, known as Mission Junction, is home to some of the city’s oldest warehouses that have since been repurposed as creative spaces.
“Llewellyn will fill a void in the market for those seeking a breathable alternative to downtown Los Angeles that provides access to both urban and outdoor pursuits,” said Cara Milliken, community manager at Greystar, Llewellyn’s property management company. “On any given day, Llewellyn residents can enjoy the best of Los Angeles in their own back yard: modern dining at Majordomo, craft beer at Highland Park Brewery and the soon-to-open Cargo Brewery, local wine at Angeleno Wine Company, award-winning coffee at Chimney, unique grocery finds at Lax-C, art exhibitions on Chung King Road, baseball games at Dodger Stadium, scenic biking along the LA River, and so much more.”
High Street Residential broke ground on the seven-story building in May 2019. Building features include a hospital-grade MERV-15 air filtration system, anti-microbial furniture coverings, thoughtfully spaced seating arrangements in common areas, and a dedicated package room.
Llewellyn is located two blocks from the Chinatown Metro Gold Line Station, which links Union Station to Chinatown, Lincoln Heights, Pasadena and a planned extension to Montclair by 2026. The apartment community, which houses onsite covered parking for residents and guests, is also conveniently located to the 110, 10, 5 and 101 freeways. Silver Lake and Pasadena are each 15 minutes away by car, and Los Angeles International Airport is 30 minutes away.
KFA is the project architect for Llewellyn, while T.B. Penick & Sons serves as contractor. Other partners include CDC Designs for interior design, Altitude Design Office for branding, and Greystar for property management. The exclusive leasing agent is Compass.
