Jamison Properties’ 228 Residences and Retail Reflects the Iconic Deco Landmarks in the Heart of Los Angeles
Nova on Wilshire, a new multifamily landmark designed by KTGY, has opened in the heart of Los Angeles. The mixed-use building is developed by Jamison Properties, LP, representing the next wave of design-forward residences in Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood. At 3980 Wilshire, the iconic structure combines 228 apartment homes with resort-style amenities and approximately 15,000 (14,983) square feet of retail wrapping the base of the building.
“With a dynamic curved building form, the building consciously plays with the Art Deco legacy of Wilshire Boulevard,” said KTGY Associate Principal, Keith McCloskey, LEED AP. “It creates a bold presence at the westerly gateway to Koreatown where its curved facade responds to the geometry of Wilshire and Wilton Place. The design incorporates multiple indoor and outdoor amenities, affording opportunities for residents to live well in a classic hospitality-like setting.”
