About the Building
The Residences at W Hollywood were completed in 2010 at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, the condominium component of a roughly six-hundred-million-dollar mixed-use complex developed by Gatehouse Capital with HEI Hotels & Resorts, alongside Legacy Partners' 1600 Vine apartment building. HKS Architects led the design with contributions from Rios Clementi Hale Studios and Daly Genik, among others. The project was built through Metro's Joint Development Program around the Hollywood/Vine subway station, and the complex combines a 305-room W Hotel, 143 branded condominiums, hundreds of apartments and street-level retail.
Structurally, the residences are a distinct component of the complex rather than floors within the hotel tower: trade-press coverage from construction describes the 143 W Residences as having their own entrance, lobby and pool, separate from hotel operations. That split matters for buyers because it keeps residential common areas under the condominium association while still tying the address to W-brand services. Because the complex rose on transit-authority land under Metro's joint development framework, buyers should confirm through the preliminary title report whether the residential parcel is held fee-simple or subject to any ground-lease interest.
The 143 residences fill a mid-rise component that aggregator records describe as fifteen storeys, a figure worth verifying against the assessor's data. Plans run from around 900-square-foot one-bedrooms through two-bedroom layouts to substantially larger penthouses, per listing records. Interiors were delivered with hotel-influenced contemporary finishes; the residential lobby is lined with wave-form Douglas fir slats, and the design press noted rooftop cabanas and glass exterior walls referencing the neighbourhood's film heritage. As with most 2010-vintage buildings, finish condition now varies unit to unit with subsequent remodelling.
Service is W-branded: association fees include concierge staffing according to aggregator records, and the building operates 24-hour valet parking. Residents' amenities include a rooftop pool deck with cabanas and wraparound views, a fitness centre, a screening room and a rooftop dog park, with access to hotel facilities such as the spa, the hotel restaurant and event venues offered on a preferred basis. The Hollywood/Vine B Line station sits directly within the complex's transit plaza, giving owners rail access to downtown, Universal City and, via transfer, much of the region without a car.
Supply is capped at 143 condominiums in a district where almost all recent residential construction has been rental apartments, so resale inventory is chronically thin. Value here tracks the Hollywood Boulevard streetscape as much as the building itself: the Walk of Fame frontage delivers energy, tourism and event traffic in equal measure, and buyers should weigh noise tolerance honestly. The transit connection beneath the building, the branded service layer and the separate residential entrance are the durable differentiators; the monthly carrying cost of that staffing level is the recurring obligation to underwrite.
Amenities & Services
The Residences
The 143 residences form their own component of the complex with a separate entrance, lobby and pool, per construction-era trade coverage, keeping daily life apart from the 305-room W Hotel.
Listing records indicate plans from roughly 900-square-foot one-bedrooms to multi-thousand-square-foot penthouses across about fifteen storeys; confirm any unit's recorded size with the LA County Assessor.
Units were delivered with W-brand contemporary finishes, and the residential lobby's Douglas fir slat walls signal the design intent. Many interiors have since been remodelled, so condition varies by unit.
The residents' rooftop carries a pool with cabanas, broad views across Hollywood and, unusually, a dedicated dog park, all separate from the hotel's own rooftop operations.
The Hollywood/Vine B Line subway station is embedded in the complex's courtyard plaza, so owners reach downtown or Universal City by rail without touching Hollywood Boulevard traffic.
Concierge staffing is reported to be included in association fees, with 24-hour valet, and residents receive preferred access to the hotel spa, restaurant and event venues.
Due Diligence
Parking runs as 24-hour valet, with aggregator records reporting one to three garage spaces conveying per unit and guest parking available. Confirm the exact parking rights deeded to any specific unit.
The building maintains a rooftop dog park, and pets are permitted subject to association rules, but published sources do not detail current limits on number, size or breed. Request the rules through escrow.
Units are actively offered for lease, furnished and unfurnished, so renting is permitted, but minimum terms and any rental caps are not publicly documented. Verify the current leasing policy with the association.
Aggregator records report that association fees include concierge service; full inclusions such as water, trash and insurance are not publicly itemised. The escrow budget package is the authoritative source.
The complex was built on transit-authority land through Metro's Joint Development Program. Whether the condominium parcel is fee-simple or leasehold is not clearly documented publicly; the preliminary title report will settle it.
The structure was engineered to post-Northridge Los Angeles code and completed in 2010; no retrofit obligations are publicly documented. Structural questions should go to the reserve study and a unit inspection.
The residential association carries a heavy service payroll: concierge, valet and front-desk coverage around the clock. That staffing level is the main driver of monthly dues and is unlikely to shrink.
Interior alterations require association approval under architectural guidelines, and mid-rise work rules govern hours, elevator use and contractor insurance. No unusual restrictions are publicly documented; obtain the guidelines before planning work.
Everything above is drawn from public records, city permit data and published sources. The association’s statutory disclosure package is the only authoritative answer on dues, rules, reserves, insurance and litigation — Ben will request it and read it with you before you remove contingencies.
