  • Grand Avenue, Frank Gehry and a 314-Room Equinox Hotel a Peek at Related’S $950 Million 1-Million-Square-Foot Grand Plans for Downtown LA
    Grand Avenue, Frank Gehry and a 314-Room Equinox Hotel A peek at Related’s $950 million 1-million-square-foot grand plans for Downtown LA May 21, 2018 | By Rebekah Sager At the end of this year the Grand Avenue Project, a.k.a. the Grand, will break ground in the Bunker Hill neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles. The mixed-use project is slated to open in the fall of 2021 with famed Canadian-born American architect Frank Gehry designing the space. The Grand was initially announced during the Great Recession in 2008. Related Urban, the proj- ect’s developer, has spent the years since, lining up financing, including a $290 million investment from the Chinese entity CORE. Coming in at $950 million, the 1-million-square-foot landmark mixed-use project will comprise 30 percent retail shops, a 450-seat luxury movie theater with in-seat dining, a 39-story tower with 113 condos and 323 rentals and a 314-room Equinox Hotel. According to Richard Vogel, a senior vice president at Related, the project will open all at once, without phasing, and all the elements will be up and operational at the same time around fall 2021. Gehry, 89, has said he’s anticipating that the Grand will spawn other projects in the neighborhood. “We hope that the Grand can help restore Downtown L.A. as a cultural epicenter of Los Angeles,” Vogel told Commercial Observer. “Mixed-use development has been a specialty for Related for decades, and we always endeavor to ensure we create unique and contextual places and spaces that reflect the local residents’ aspirations and that of the cities in which we build.” The center will also feature a public art piece designed by Gehry, and projectors will be permanent- ly housed in the complex to project images on Disney Hall for those at the Grand to see from the restaurants, hotel and residences.

Mr. LaSalle also provided valuable assistance in organizing the CBA Symposium.

See the link for “Services to the Community.” © 2011 The Public Law Center 1 Thank you for taking an interest in community benefits agreements (CBAs). CBAs are legally enforceable contracts between a developer (i.e. a private business), the local government, and community organizations and residents. This publication by The Public Law Center is meant to provide summaries of successfully implemented CBAs across the nation. This report is not meant to detail the nature and purpose of CBAs or discuss the pros and cons of CBAs. If you are interested in these topics, please see Appendix I and II at the end of this report. However, we will provide some of the basics of CBAs below so that you may better understand the information presented in this report: 1) In order for a private business to begin a development in a city, the business must often receive zoning permission from the local government (usually a city council).
