Related California's $86M, 104-Unit Skid Row Housing Tower Advances

Related California is advancing Weingart Tower 1B, a 104-unit permanent supportive housing tower at 554 S San Pedro St in Skid Row with an $86.1 million budget, city housing records show. The City is putting in $16 million of Measure HHH money.

Why it matters

Weingart Tower 1B is a separate project from Related California’s Alveare tower on Broadway in downtown LA, which AmDev reported topping out on Oct. 27. Alveare is a market-rate building. Weingart Tower 1B is a publicly subsidized supportive housing building for formerly homeless tenants, funded partly through the City’s Measure HHH program.

For Los Angeles developers and builders, the deal shows the current Measure HHH math: the City covered about 19% of an $86.1 million supportive housing budget. The other $59.3 million had to come from other sources.

The numbers

Los Angeles Housing Department records list the project under number 19-125938, APN 5147024032, in Council District 14. The filing shows 104 units and a total development cost of $86,117,093. The City’s HCIDLA funding commitment is $16,000,000, with the remaining $59,299,093 listed as leverage from other sources. The record shows the deal funded on 2025-07-31; LAHD’s project report was last pulled for this story on 2026-10-19. Barker Management Incorporated is named as the site’s property manager of record.

What’s next

LAHD’s report lists the project’s stage as “Development,” meaning Weingart Tower 1B is advancing toward completion rather than finished or newly opened. The record does not specify a construction start date or a completion timeline, so neither is stated here. The next public marker to watch is a stage change in LAHD’s own project report, which would indicate the building has moved past development toward lease-up.
