[LosAngelesSportsFan]

the titel needs to be changed with LOS ANGELES in all caps so it catches the eye. i dont see it when im scrolling.

yakumoto, this is a great start, but we should try to incorporate all the projects into this thread: proposed, approved, under construction, recently completed, and cancelled. I'll try to put together a post later tonight or most likely tomorrow that you can copy and paste into the first post.

[DJM19]

I agree, you should also post approved and proposed (as many of the great projects lie in that category )

Oh and LA Live is Under Construction, yes?

[POLA]

Looking good, thanks yakumoto for putting the time and effort into this.

[RAlossi]

Are we keeping completed developments in the list? I think you should, as it allows us all to better track the development of DTLA better.

[LA420]

I think you doing a good job Yoko and especially with the new renderings but i think you should put more detail into like how many floors the building has and i think you should separate the "New projects" (proposed / ground up) and Readapted use (conversion). Don't get mad now just a suggestion ok, i just thought it would be easier to differentiate from NEW to READAPTED USE.

IMO, you should make sections for those buildings under construction, under conversion, or proposed. It'll make things much more organized. Because that what I see here is not well put together. I mean you have the Roosevelt under construction. There is a difference between construction and conversion.

Ok, we need a DTLA database: DTLADb!

Like ImDb.com

or

rcdb.com

[BrandonJXN]

Pictures of the proposed (those with pictures) would be peaches and cream.

[yakumoto]

Pictures would also make this thread inaccessable to anyone with dialup, though if folks are wanting that, I'm obligated to give it to them...

[BrandonJXN]

I'm on dial-up. Aside from those horrible .png files (damn you Miami forums), my computer can handle lots of pics well.

[colemonkee]

Pictures would be good. You can just swipe them from the previous rundown thread...

[citywatch]

This link should be considered Part One (or 1.0) of this thread, as noted above by PV & based on the format recommended by SSP moderator Steely Dan before he removed & archived the original "LA: DT proj rundown."

[LosAngelesSportsFan]

Ill add the Rundown list soon.

From the LA Business Journal

New Project for the Fig Central site! Looks Like it might be a much bigger project with a hotel and possibly taller?

Anschutz Sells Retail, Residential Property Near Staples

By DANIEL MILLER
Los Angeles Business Journal Staff

The Moinian Group has purchased a significant piece of downtown property near Staples Center from Anschutz Entertainment Group.

The transaction closed Aug. 11, with New York-based Moinian paying in the neighborhood of $78 million for a 4.6 acre property now being used for event parking near Staples Center, for which AEG is the majority owner, according to sources close to the deal.

The property, which is across Figueroa Street from Staples, has been entitled for 250,000 square feet of retail space and 700 condominium/apartment units, for a total of 1.1 million square feet. Moinian may decide to increase the number of condominiums or apartments by reducing the size of each unit. It also is considering adding a small boutique hotel to the project, sources said.

Commercial builder LNR Property Corp. had attempted to acquire the property several months ago, teaming up with homebuilders Lennar Corp. and KB Home. But the deal came apart when KB instead decided to build 216 condominiums atop the planned Marriot Marquis and Ritz Carlton.

AEG spokesman Michael Roth and the Moinian Group declined to comment on the transaction. Rich Mayo of O’Donnell/Atkins, who represented The Moinian Group, also declined comment.

Also this was in the LA Business Journal article as well...

Condo Project
Los Angeles-based developer Witmer Development LLC has purchased a 44,000-square-foot development site at 1247 West Seventh St. in downtown Los Angeles from Service Employees International Union Local 1877 in a transaction valued at $8.9 million. Witmer plans to redevelop the property into a multi-unit condominium project. The sales team of Phillip Sample, Chris Caras, Michael Shustak, Maury Gentile and Brian Denton at Grubb & Ellis Co. represented the buyer and the seller in the transaction.

Ok, ive added pretty much every rendering to every project that exists out there. Hooray.

[colemonkee]

yakumoto, your effort is greatly appreciated.

From the Downtown News. Interior demolition has been ongoing for quite some time, but now it looks like they're clear to move into condo conversion at 1010 Wilshire.

1010 Wilshire Gets Go-Ahead

Developer Amir LLC has received permits for the condominium conversion of the structure at 1010 Wilshire Blvd., allowing work to begin on the creation of 227 lofts, according to Hamid Behdad from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office. The 16-story edifice, which was built in 1960 as the headquarters of the Signal Oil Building, is slated to be turned into 800- to 1,200-square-foot residences. Amenities will include a pool, recreation area and possibly a health club. The project includes a 15% affordable housing component. The transformation was facilitated by the city's 1999 passage of the adaptive reuse ordinance, which, according to Behdad's office, has created 11,077 housing units citywide (in various stages of development) worth $6 billion.
