ADU builder in North Hollywood, CA
North Hollywood combines strong rental demand with excellent transit: the NoHo Metro station serves the B and G Lines. For many lots, that means no ADU parking requirement and extra height, and we design to take advantage of both.

Building an ADU in North Hollywood.
What’s different about adding an ADU here, and how we plan around it.
Transit makes ADUs easier
Within half a mile of the North Hollywood station or other major transit, state law waives ADU parking requirements and allows detached ADUs at least 18 ft tall (plus 2 ft for a matching roof pitch).
Rental demand near the Arts District
Proximity to the NoHo Arts District, studios and Metro access makes North Hollywood ADUs attractive to renters, and LA allows up to 1,200 sq ft and two stories to make the most of the lot.
Multi-family lots have new options
Many North Hollywood parcels already have duplexes or small apartment buildings. Since 2025, state law allows up to 8 detached ADUs on a lot with an existing multi-family building, as long as the number doesn’t exceed the existing units.
