New Downtown Los Angeles

The $750 million project By Frank Gehry, which includes the first high-rises he has ever designed for his hometown, is the first phase of a $1.8 billion development plan by the Related Companies that will remake Grand Avenue as a pedestrian-based gathering point. "When we talk about L.A. having a downtown, it's a stretch, because L.A. is so spread out as a city. Our downtown probably is a linear one — Wilshire Boulevard or Sunset Boulevard." Mr. Gehry said. "You don't have a downtown. This is an attempt to find one." SOURCE
