Disney Concert Hall Welcomes The Grand created by Frank Gehry 100 S Grand Avenue, Los Angeles 90012

The Grand brings jobs and housing to the

The Grand, a new mixed-use development at the core of DTLA’s landmark cultural scene designed byFrank Gehry.

The Grand’s residential tower will rise 39-stories high with 400 luxury residences, of which 20% will be affordable rate residences. A 20-story, 309 room luxury hotel will flank the residential tower and include 12,000 square feet of meeting rooms and facilities, ballrooms, and 27,000 square feet of restaurants, lounges, and outdoor amenities.  Between the two towers will be a large, vibrant public plaza with open terraces that plays host to outdoor music and art, accessible to all visitors. 

The Grand is a significant part, a $1 billion project designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry. It will stand directly across the street from Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall. A Conrad Hotel official tells Eyewitness News the new resort will be an essential addition to Los Angeles’ cultural epicenter. This project will be ready to welcome visitors and locals back to downtown as the Covid-19 pandemic ends.

LA Grand will be a twenty-four-hour destination, where people dine, stay, and visit. The Grand is a 1.6 million square foot residential, retail, and hotel development home to more than 430 apartments, 26 retail stores, and a comprehensive collection of places to eat and drink. Fantastically curated retail stores, chef-driven restaurant concepts, of course, the hospitality of the Conrad Hotel. The Grand has the potential to make Grand Avenue the cultural beacon for a city without a center.

The bars, restaurants, and stores are just a portion of what The Grand has to offer, but what is sure to capture anyone’s attention will be views – and they are stunning. It’s all about orienting the visitor to where they are. First, there is the Walt Disney Concert Hall in front of you. Then, to the left is the City Hall building. So anybody arriving at the hotel and coming out to this pool deck is going to know you’re in Downtown L.A.

The Conrad Hotel and apartments are expected to open in early 2022, while retail shops and restaurants will be added later in the year. #newapartments #dtla

Grand Avenue Project by Frank Gehry Bodes Bright Future for Downtown Los Angeles

Gehry’s greatness has blessed a building and a blog.

A little-known blogger recently called Downtown LA’s newest hotel shopping center mega project a “monolith for a bleak future.” The independent arts journalist said that the immense multi-use high-rise hotel and retail complex has been under development for 16 years, but has yielded “few concrete results”. The blogger got it a bit backwards. While the Frank Gehry designed Grand Avenue Project has been one of the most thoroughly planned and re-planned commercial developments in history, the block-wide sky-high skyscraper has more recently been lauded for its rapid pace of physical construction. Competing mega-projects like OceanWide Plaza have languished in stagnation. | Blog Video

Innovative architect Frank Gehry describes miracles and the future.

The perfect accompaniment to the respectably innovative Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall across the street, new vibrant center of commerce and community in Downtown LA also complements the Broad Museum and other cultural landmarks that are its neighbors. The bearish blogger who panned the project was writing in the depth of virus panic, on the precipice of a dark winter. In contrast, the timing for The Grand Avenue shall end up much better than one might have expected. By the time the hotel and retail complex is fully launched around 2022, the world will have begun to grow weary of lockdown oppression and economic depression, and world travelers, movers and shakers will have a glimmer of hope, enthusiasm and vigor for greatness. Things may start slow once the deconstructivist development opens for business, but that brings an opportunity to gloat in its future of rags-to-riches growth to glory. If today’s bursting anticipation is any gauge, one of the world’s most renowned architects has touched a dream that shall turn to gold. Watch the fast pace of the actual construction, and see that Frank Gehry has delivered a skyrocketing erection to a once-impotent neighborhood. Gehry’s creative magic has charmed the infant giant. Mere mention of The Grand has caused the Loft Blog readership to instantly triple. While the 2020s crash of big city urban downtown neighborhoods may get worse before it gets better, the timeless treasure of Gehry’s prominent project shall stand tall, proud and prosperous.
