A five-story apartment building called NoHo Moderno has wrapped up construction at 11013 Hartsook Street in North Hollywood, just off Lankershim Boulevard, delivering 25 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units to a stretch of the neighborhood near the NoHo Arts District. The project replaced a four-unit apartment building that previously stood at the site, and its developer says leasing is already well underway.
According to Urbanize LA, the building received its certificate of occupancy in August 2026, and architect Sam Aslanian announced that construction was complete. Aslanian said the property has already leased 20 of its 25 units, a sign of brisk early demand in a pocket of North Hollywood that continues to densify. The development was built by Pyramid Development Group, per the same report.
Earlier planning documents described the project a bit differently. Those materials, reported by whatnow.com, pegged the unit mix at five studios, five one-bedrooms and 15 two-bedrooms, with the project sited near the intersection of Vineland Avenue and Magnolia Boulevard. A rental listing now advertises a different range of floor plans, including one-bedroom lofts, two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom penthouse residences — a discrepancy with the earlier approved mix that has not been independently resolved.
Built With Transit Incentives and Affordable Units
NoHo Moderno made use of Los Angeles's Transit Oriented Communities incentives to build a larger structure than standard zoning would otherwise allow, per Urbanize LA's reporting. In exchange, three apartments were set aside for extremely low-income households. Whatnow.com's earlier account of the approved plans put the same commitment at three reserved units for extremely low-income renters, alongside roughly 2,600 square feet of open space split between two roof decks and a fitness room.
The Los Angeles City Planning department describes its Transit Oriented Communities Incentive Program as a tool to encourage affordable housing construction near bus and train stations, adding units for low-income residents while growing the city's overall housing stock. The program traces back to 2017, implemented after voters approved Measure JJJ, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. Under the TOC Guidelines, eligible projects must sit within a half-mile of a major transit stop.
Design Details and Parking
The finished building includes parking for 13 vehicles, matching what whatnow.com's earlier report described as underground parking for 13 automobiles alongside space for 27 bicycles. Per the Aslanian narrative relayed in Urbanize LA's report, the building's exterior mixes contrasting dark gray and white planes, metal siding, recessed balconies, glazing and façade offsets, with a double-height pedestrian entrance and varied window recesses breaking up the massing. The upper floors step back from Hartsook Street, a design choice intended to soften the building's presence at street level while carving out extra outdoor space.
A rental listing for the property markets NoHo Moderno as a brand-new 2026 building in the trendy NoHo Arts district, touting two rooftop decks with lounge seating — including a fifth-floor terrace with valley views — along with a fitness center, secured parking, an elevator, EV charging, bike storage and controlled access.
More Growth Coming to the Block
NoHo Moderno isn't rising in isolation. A larger multifamily residential building is underway on a neighboring site, according to Urbanize LA, suggesting the immediate area around Hartsook Street is set for continued change. That mirrors a broader pattern across North Hollywood, where Metro committed in 2021 to building 10,000 housing units across Los Angeles County over a decade, with half earmarked as low-income housing, as reported by LAist.
The outlet's coverage also detailed District NoHo, a nearly 16-acre project approved by the Los Angeles City Council centered on Lankershim Boulevard and Chandler Boulevard, stretching from Weddington Street to Cumpston Street and Tujunga Avenue to Fair Avenue. That project calls for close to 1,500 housing units, with a quarter set aside as affordable housing, plus a renovated Metro station and new bus transit center. LAist reported the project is expected to generate more than 15,000 construction jobs and nearly 5,000 permanent jobs, with its transit center targeted for completion by 2027 or 2028.
