    A new grocery store, offices, restaurants, and more than 500 apartments coming to Olympic and Bundy...won unanimous approval from the Los Angeles City Council last week


    The town center has also gained a few significant add-ons, namely an affordable housing component that will set aside 20 percent of the project’s 516 apartments for less-than-market rate rents.
