Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
The Grand is the latest phase of The Grand Avenue Project, a visionary public-private partnership with Related Companies and the Los Angeles Grand Avenue Authority to revitalize downtown LA's cultural and civic core with a mix of commercial, retail, cultural and residential uses stitched together with great public spaces and world class architecture as designed by Frank Gehry. This multi-phased master planned development is re-envisioning and re-developing underutilized government-owned parcels directly adjacent to the Civic Center and key cultural institutions such as the Music Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Colburn School of Music, and the Museum of Contemporary Art to form a dynamic mixed-use district fitting for the cultural center of Los Angeles.
Designed by Frank Gehry, The Grand will include over 176,000 square feet of retail space anchored by chef-driven restaurants and a collection of shops; a movie theater complex; an Equinox Hotel®; and more than 400 luxury residences, 20% of which will be affordable rate units. The development will also include a large, vibrant public plaza with a series of landscaped, open terraces. The Grand is expected to open in 2021.
