A tipster informs us construction has begun on the Compton Senior Apartments, just a few steps from the Blue Line Compton station. Developed by Meta Housing Corp., which is behind the recently-completed Chinatown Gateway and 5555 Hollywood senior projects, the three-story Compton project will bring 75 new units to the city. While the size and design are hard to get excited over, it's nice to see new development--that's not a Wendy's or KFC--spring up next to the Blue Line. While the other light rail and subway lines have spurred development from Koreatown to Culver City to Chinatown, South LA has very few transit-oriented projects near its rail line.
