Getting off the 5 at 7th street and heading west into the arts district I was struck by all the potential on the east bank of the LA River.
There is room for some Big improvements in the area. Behold in the news a company called Big is moving in earnest to build out an exciting 2.6 million square foot complex along the soon to be reclaimed banks of the LA River in LA’s Arts District. Called 670 Mesquit, the project is designed around a set of boxes holding 800k square feet of office space, 250 residential apartments and hotels. Adjacent to the LA river which, as I have mentioned in previous posts, is undergoing a rebirth with natural enhancements. #Lofts
In other big news, the 520 Mateo just announced a super-sizing from previous plans. It’s now plotting 35 stories over the previously planned 13 story tower. Go big or go home. The Project is scaling up the commercial office component of the project’s mix of uses. At least for now, the tower is bound to be the tallest in the rapidly changing neighborhood. Taller buildings in the 50 story range are also in the planning stages. #ArtsDistrict
These projects speak to the energy of the Arts District anchored by the downtown vibe on the one hand with all the excitement of new construction while on the other hand embracing the public interest to get back to nature on the other side with the gateway to all things wild on the LA River.
