"Adjaye associates teams with studio one eleven to reimagine a downtown gateway site in los angeles with their ‘fourth & central’ development. presented by denver-based developer continuum partners, the 7.6-acre site at 4th street and central avenue will be transformed into a resilient, sustainable community that will provide a variety of housing options and jobs. the project will introduce to the california city over 1,500 residential units, creative office space, retail and restaurants, and a 68-room hotel. overall, the masterplan comprises ten distinct buildings, ranging in height from 2 to 42 stories. the spirit of the development is in line with plans to rejuvenate the city’s transit system, bringing it into the 21st century to better connect the neighborhoods of LA.
Alan pullman, founding principal of studio one eleven notes: ‘fourth & central’ provides an unmatched opportunity to leverage major transit improvements in a way that responsibly uplifts the community with increased housing and commercial opportunities. working with david adjaye and his team, we’ve designed an open, street-level plan that incrementally connects with the neighborhood, providing diverse buildings, a rich mix of uses, and abundant green space — all human-scaled and accessible.’"
