Gehry’s Grand Plans for Downtown L.A.

Frank Gehry has unveiled plans to bring more density to downtown Los Angeles with a $750 million project to remake Grand Avenue as a pedestrian-based gathering point. On a three acre spot across the street from the Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, the plans call for a 47-story hotel/condo building, a 25-story apartment/loft building, and two nearby three-story retail pavilions made of limestone and glass at Grand near First Street. The projected completion date for the first phase is 2009, with the entire nine-acre Grand Avenue project by 2014. More at grandavenuecommittee.org.
