I'm getting so spoiled by all the good news....by all the new devlpt.....that now if a day goes by without hearing something new & exciting taking place in dtla, it seems like a big lull in the pace of change.
But there has been talk for quite awhile about groundbreaking finally occurring in April on the apt proj at 5th & olive....one of the biggest gaps in dt that has long bothered me....& start of work on the apt tower at the corner of 4th & hill st. That's very important if only cuz it means that the tatty little taco house bldg on Hill st will have to be torn down & that grand central mkt will finally have a nice neighbor to its south.
then there's the apt tower proposed for 4th & broadway. Of course, waiting in the wings...& long overdue...is the grand ave proj controlled by the related cos up on bunker hill. Disney Hall has long deserved something nice across the major street from it. |
I truly hope the 5th and olive project doesnt get built. Its such a monumental waste that id be willing to wait for the right project there. I hope Macfarlane comes to their senses and sells the damn thing to someone with vision and money
