The original Viper Room is fading to black.
In its place will be a 12-story mixed-use high rise at the corner of Sunset and Larrabee in West Hollywood. The development, which was announced today, will include a re-designed music venue, recording studio space, eateries, cafes, retail space, housing units and a hotel. According to the project’s web site, memorabilia from the original Viper Room will be featured throughout the venue.

Construction is expected to begin next year on the high-density project named after its address at 8850 Sunset, according to Los Angeles-based Silver Creek Development, which bought the property about four years ago.

Chuck E. Weiss, a longtime presence on the Los Angeles music scene and the subject of a Top 5 hit for Rickie Lee Jones, died Tuesday at age 76. Details on his death were not immediately available, but friends said he died after a long illness.
