Framing is now finished on a seven-story mixed-use complex at 6007 W. Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, putting a major CIM Group project visibly on the map across from Emerson College. The building will stack 109 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments over parking and ground-floor retail, setting up a new look along this busy stretch of the Emerson College corridor.
According to Urbanize LA, the structure is rising as a podium-style building with 109 apartments, parking for about 196 vehicles, and roughly 14,600 square feet of street-level retail. Urbanize LA also reports that the city granted density bonus incentives that require 14 deed-restricted units to be set aside for very-low-income households, and that Lahmon Architects is serving as the architect of record.
Design and developer
Renderings depict a contemporary podium clad in stucco and corrugated metal panels, wrapped around a landscaped courtyard and several outdoor amenity decks. The Hollywood Partnership lists Donaldson + Partners as the project's designer and records the retail component at about 14,657 square feet, noting the development as under construction for CIM Group. That listing also estimates completion in the second quarter of 2026, giving the neighborhood a rough sense of when new residents and storefronts could start plugging into the block.
Neighborhood context
The site sits across the street from the 23-story Sunset and Gordon tower, whose approvals were once invalidated by a California appellate court, forcing tenants to move out, according to the Los Angeles Times. Urbanize LA places the new building near the proposed Norman Foster designed Star on Sunset and an approved expansion of Sunset Gower Studios, underscoring how tightly concentrated redevelopment has become along this slice of Sunset Boulevard. Those projects, along with Sunset and Gordon's fraught history, have turned the block into a closely watched stretch for nearby residents and preservation groups.
Timeline and impact
The Hollywood Partnership lists an estimated completion in the second quarter of 2026 and reiterates the roughly 14,657 square feet of planned ground-floor retail. Once the doors open, the project is slated to add rental supply near Emerson College and introduce fresh retail frontage that could shift foot traffic patterns for surrounding businesses. Leasing news and tenant lineups are expected to surface as interior work advances and the developer secures final permits.
With the frame locked in, attention now turns to the next set of Hollywood questions: who lands the ground-floor spaces and how the parking, amenities, and affordability commitments play out once people move in. We will continue to track permits, leasing notices, and community updates as the project moves toward opening.
