Work Begins At Grand Avenue Project Site
By Rico
December 3, 2007
Though demolition won’t occur until February 7th’s groundbreaking event, today marks a historic point in the evolution of Downtown Los Angeles. The tinker-toy parking structure on the site of the Grand Avenue Project “The Grand”
is now closed to vehicles, and a green construction fence surrounds the lot.
Site activities over the next two months will include soil sampling, demolition engineering, geological testing and construction coordination. Jurors, government employees and tourists should take the subway to the Civic Center metro station or be prepared to research alternative parking options beforehand.
The Related Cos. is developing the Frank Gehry-designed project. More photos of the project site
