Irvine, Calif. – R.D. Olson Construction, an award-winning general contracting firm in California, commenced ground-up construction on Kings 838, a 37,000-square-foot luxury apartment complex located at 838 N.

The property is situated in the heart of West Hollywood near Melrose Ave. Shopping District, the Hollywood Improv Comedy Club and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House.

The four-story, multi-unit housing project will include 25 units with one and two-bedroom options as well as below-ground parking.
