^^That NMS apartment complex in Culver City is slower than molasses. It was originally supposed to open earlier this year, but I don't think they've made any visible progress in the past three months.

Here's a quick Hollywood Update.

Sunset Bronson Studios Expansion starting work.

Sunset Gordon now leasing; new one-acre public park is open behind the tower.

Columbia Square adaptive re-use looks excellent.

Construction on the new office buildings and the 20-story residential tower to the north.

Blackcat, your blog is hands-down the best source of information on Los Angeles development on the internet. I am constantly wowed by both your knowledge and the time you put into it. Are you a broker? Or in the real estate industry?

Also, are you planning to monetize your blog at all with minimal ads like Brigham Yen did? I think you should be compensated for your awesome efforts.

Agreed. You deserve some extra scratch for all your excellent work, Blackcat.

Hollywood is going through a nice little economic renaissance. Kilroy Realty's two projects (Columbia Square and Vine/DeLongpre) and J.H. Snyder's 959 Seward are bringing quality office space geared toward the creative media/tech sector of the entertainment industry. My sister, who works for BuzzFeed, just moved into a new office near Sunset/Vine. Hopefully this trend continues and will come to represent a new Hollywood less dominated by druggies and white trash Hollywood wannabes from the South and Midwest.

Chiming in from the Eastside, I just wanted to say that things are really booming in Pasadena's Playhouse District. Aside from Playhouse Plaza (which has topped out) and Union Village (which is excavated), I google-fued an article tonight about work starting on two more vacant, eyesore lots in close proximity on Walnut. Also, Hotel Contstance has reopened from what I understand. I haven't been down to check it out just yet.

Also, long time tenant Mccormicks and Scmicks closed down quickly and quietly in the plaza just across from City Hall. I can't wait to see what develops and spend my days daydreaming about what tenants might fill all of this new commerical space in my neighborhood! And, oh how I long for the old days of Brigham Yen and his wonderful Pasadena coverage. Love this stuff!!!

Just walked across the Palladium on Saturday night. That corner is just dying to realize its full potential. Hope this gets underway soon.

Enjoy.

Wow, that's a lot of rebar! Thanks, as always, for the photo update. I'm in 10100 Santa Monica so I'm very close to that construction site but can't see into it. Really looking forward to seeing this tower rise!

What's going in at Vine and Selma?

1540 Vine is underway, and I think has been for some time. https://www.permitla.org/ipars/list_...E%20ST%2090028. BLA page is here: http://buildinglosangeles.blogspot.c...a%20and%20Vine.

1601 Vine, which BLA says was delayed due to some CRA/LA signoff problems, seems to have at least some LADBS permits under review, although nothing significant actually issued yet. https://www.permitla.org/ipars/list_...E%20ST%2090028. There are also demo permits under review for the existing buildings on site on other pages. BLA page is here: http://buildinglosangeles.blogspot.c...el/1601%20Vine. No idea if the CRA/LA issue has been fully resolved, but a resolution relating to that address received State Finance approval in late February. http://www.crala.org/internet-site/u...r_OB_23_24.pdf.

Thanks, Flavius. I was thinking of the Camden. Seems to lack density given it's proximity to transit and kind of a bummer for Planet Fitness for the ground floor. But at least it's an unoffensive design.

This is the 80-room, six-story hotel project planned one block west of Hollywood/Western. Appropriately named "Eighty Cool Rooms."

You'd have to be a masochist to propose anything over 1 story in that part of town after what happened to the formerly under construction Target store nearby.

2 year timeframe = time for HCPU to be back in force.

Only 8 cool rooms? The other 72 are unhip?
