Was deeply worried that Omni was going to demolish the architecturally significant remnants of the old art deco camera store, so I am thrilled to see they are seeking to preserve the entire streetwall. No new development can replicate that type of organic, fine grain urbanism, so it's lovely Omni isn't even going to make the attempt.

Please don't quote me in a different thread than the one in which I initially posted the quoted material.

There is no "playing it like you won it anyway" since people routinely post Long Beach stuff here as well and bring up projects here and there on occasion, so sorry if the fuss caught me off guard, but I totally get it. Some of us get caught up with being on here ALL the time and act like it's a second job reposting articles lol. It's time consuming with reposting articles we didn't write, takes a lot of hard work.

(Group hug) Sorry for reposting an article from an outside source, I understand your pain and anguish. Now that we're clear, I'll continue to post in the forms I want. We can't all be faux mods just because we post a lot

.

Also. Thanks for trying to keep the Long Beach thread alive. I'll be expecting your weekly posts

Bitter, table for one!

Umm... I had no idea that Intuit Dome was up to structural steel deployment.

On another front, this 6 story wood frame on La Brea and 12th in mid city is an example of a nice Southern California style densifying city. Not like these modern box 5-7 stories. More of this please

LosAngelesSportsFan · #**10705** Posted **Nov 1, 2022, 11:34 PM**

Agreed on both points! Thanks for the updates

Easy · #**10706** Posted **Nov 2, 2022, 3:30 AM**

Nice update hughfb3. You really get around.

colemonkee · #**10707** Posted **Nov 2, 2022, 2:02 PM**

I drive by that 12th and La Brea building almost daily and can confirm it's turning out really nicely in person. The retail space on the corner is double-height due to the grade change on La Brea, so it should be a really nice cafe or restaurant space. Here's hoping something cool goes in there. It's not a particularly pedestrian thoroughfare there, and hope this helps change that over time. It's mostly still auto repair shops, with a few galleries, cafes, and fast food eateries along that stretch of La Brea.

Update to the new multi-story complexes developments on Burbank Blvd in Sherman Oaks under construction. Looks like both are almost complete. Landscaping and interior work is left.

Via Avanti Complex coming along. Piling seems to be finishing up and there is a clear amount of shoring.

Nice. I'm at the intersection all the time.

colemonkee · #**10711** Posted **Nov 15, 2022, 5:02 AM**

Is that at the intersection of the 405 and 101 just north of the Sherman Oaks Galleria? That's been around forever!

Yup! It is finally being developed!

Two harbor redevelopments moving forward...

San Pedro: https://la.urbanize.city/post/constr...ment-san-pedro

Dana Point: https://www.ocregister.com/2022/11/1...ill-look-like/

colemonkee · #**10714** Posted **Nov 18, 2022, 4:32 AM**

I love both of these!

112597jorge · #**10715** Posted **Nov 18, 2022, 8:14 PM**

I don't really like the architectural design for the Dana Point one. Looks very Pacific Northwest or something suited in a gray/cold/industrial setting... would have liked something Spanish style like neighboring San Clemente is known for. If I didn't know better and I was walking down that waterfront once completed I wouldn't even think I'm in Southern California.

I like the added color for the San Pedro one even though it does give off very industrial vibes by the massing of the structures.

Also personal choice here but I hate sycamore trees by the ocean. Not exactly sure if that's the plan but looks like it by the renders... would much rather prefer jacaranda, african tulip trees, and that yellow flowering tree (forgot name) with some scattered palms.

otherwise solid additions. sure they will be great spots.

I'd love to see San Pedro develop along the lines of Long Beach. I could envision some housing towers along the nicer parts of the waterfront. San Pedro has always been a forgotten part of L.A. Hopefully it will shine up nicely. Perhaps a spur of the Blue Line that goes to Long Beach could be built through Wilmington to San Pedro. Is the Harbor Freeway bus line enough?

About. Fucking. Time.

I have lots of pet peeves about LA's idiosyncratic urban design quirks, and this is one of them:

L.A. City Council motion aims to stop "spot road widening"

Wilshire Center's Double tower rising. I always get this one at night.

Wilshire tower

6th Street tower

Also, I completely missed that CA updated the building codes last year to allow for tall timber buildings up to 18 floors. I'm excited about the next phase of development as the 7 story Type 3-over-1 stick frame may no longer need to be the dominant form of densifying the cities. Check out the article. It’s a great read!

Thanks for the photo updates, hughfb3. Does anyone have a link to renderings of this project?
