"Sawtelle Goes Affordable: HVN Development's ED1 Project on 2245 Amherst Ave Takes Shape"

Wood framing has reached its peak for a new Executive Directive 1 affordable housing project just south of Expo/Bundy Station in Sawtelle.

The project, led by HVN Development and designed by Stockton Architects, will replace a single-family home with a four-story building featuring 38 one-bedroom apartments. To qualify for Executive Directive 1 streamlining and density bonus incentives, the project will be fully affordable housing, with units reserved for low- and moderate-income households.

The contemporary low-rise structure is expected to be completed in early 2026, with several other ED1 developments planned for neighboring parcels to the north. The project is located across from a large development site where Carmel Partners is currently building over 600 apartments.

"Sawtelle is a prime location for affordable housing development, and we're excited to be a part of it," says Tommy Beadel, CEO of HVN Development.
