Transit-oriented development

A recent article in the Los Angeles Times credited the North Hollywood extension to reviving interest in that area. Developers are now moving in and beginning to buy and develop lots. While the enhanced interest has delighted the city, some residents and groups are worried that mom and pop stores will soon be bought out due to rising rent and developer influence.

Since the 2000 opening of the station, many transit-oriented developments have begun to be constructed adjacent to the station. Notable are NoHo Tower (a 15-story apartment building) across the street from the station, a large complex of apartments near the parking lot of the station, and NoHo Commons, a multi-use complex which will house several floors of apartments above a level of retail. In September 2007, transportation officials approved NoHo Art Wave, the largest "transit-oriented" development in L.A. County history, consisting of a $1.3-billion apartment, retail and high-rise office tower complex totaling more than 1,700,000 square feet (160,000 m2) of development on 15.6 acres (63,000 m2).[3]

Future Additions

Metro has approved the addition of a second entrance on the west side of Lankershim Boulevard, which would allow riders connecting between the Orange Line (at-surface bus rapid transit) and the Red Line (underground heavy rail) direct connectivity. Currently passengers making this connection must wait for a signal to cross the typically busy boulevard. This connection is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.[4]
