#1: BaBWP's TAKE
Case on HOLD per Planning file summary (see case file link below ).
In response to a BaBWP.org email checking on this application status, the assigned planner Esther Serrato replied via email on 11-19-2024 “The case has been placed on hold due to a number of missing filing materials. Once those materials are provided then case processing may proceed.”
She also indicated the case file is available for review by scheduling an appointment with Records Management @ 213-847-3753 or emailing [email protected].
Regarding the Developer
Per BaBWP.org’s research, it seems Anthony Gude has been involved funding capture for the modular multi-family construction trend. For example, in an interview he refers to fundraising for a Multifamily Industrialized Construction & Development Fund.
It is our impression that Gude does not currently have a large portfolio of ED1 projects or applications. One indication: lack of a corporate website. A second indication: the project’s incomplete initial Planning application.
Currently there are larger developers working successfully to get ED1 applications proposed and approved. One example: Tommy Beadel of HVN, who has three ED1 projects active in the Reading-Ramsgate area. Per Beadel’s project elevations, it’s pretty clear his firm has the ED1 formula down and they’re rolling out many ED1 projects throughout Los ANgeles.
Therefore, it’s possible 8615 Ramsgate will proceed more slowly, given the developer’s smaller size and relative lack of ED1 development experience.

#8: BaBWP's TAKE ON THIS PROJECT
Per BaBWP.org’s research, it seems Anthony Gude has been involved funding capture for the modular multi-family construction trend. For example, in an interview he refers to fundraising for a Multifamily Industrialized Construction & Development Fund.
It is our impression that he’s a small developer who does not currently have a large portfolio of ED1 projects. (One indication: lack of a corporate website.) In addition, per the Planner in charge of this application, “the case has been placed on hold due to a number of missing filing materials. Once those materials are provided then the case processing may proceed.” This is further indication of this developer’s inexperience with the ED1 program.
Therefore, while larger developers (e.g., Tommy Beadel) are getting multiple ED1 projects approved through Planning, it’s possible this project will proceed more slowly, given the developer’s lack of ED1 development experience.
