The entrance is lined with cobblestones from LA’s first rail depot. Farther in, there’s a public fruit orchard and grassy knolls dotted with bright-orange poppies.
It’s the 50th anniversary of Los Angeles’s hippie love-fest, first celebrated in 1967 by 4,000 people who listened to live music and put good vibes into the world.
New renderings reveal prolific Downtown developer Izek Shomof’s glassy new project in Chinatown. It’s evidently targeted toward millennials, with 122 small (but light-filled) units.
Plans filed Tuesday show busy Chinatown developer Redcar is aiming to build a new 192,000-square-foot mixed-user on North Spring Street at the site of the 1960s theater where Quentin Tarantino was once interested in showing retro Chinese films.
Only an empty shell remained of the Velvet Turtle, once a popular eatery, when the site was razed in 2014. The new mixed-user would rise seven stories, holding 162 apartments.
There are just four neighborhoods left in our competition for the best neighborhood of the year. In today’s matchup, San Pedro and Chinatown face off for the title.
For the second time this week, plans have been filed with the city for a mixed use project next to Chinatown's Cornfield Park. The newest development will include 124 units of housing and 8,691 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
Plans for a project bringing 920 units to a very skinny lot above the Los Angeles State Historic Park were submitted to the city Tuesday. The proposed development would be right next to the Gold Line tracks north of the Chinatown station.
Opening the revamped Los Angeles State Historic Park hinges on having mature grass, so park officials have been trucking in at least 60,000 gallons of recycled water daily.
It's part theater, part residence. Ford and XTen Architects redid the interiors, making room for "an internal courtyard, an audio-visual room, a large kitchen and retail space." The new buyers might turn the living space into an Airbnb-style rental.
Plans call for a seven-story, mixed-use building with 122 residential units (six of which will be set aside for very low-income tenants) and 4,200 square feet of retail space on the ground floor on a site about a block away from a Gold Line station.
The best amenity is its access to public transportation. It's right next door to the Chinatown Gold Line Metro stop, and its courtyard leads right into the station.
The reopening of the under-renovation Los Angeles State Historic Park has been pushed back a number of times, so it's no surprise that it's being delayed once more. Now, the park is expected to open in January 2017. The holdup? Slow-growing grass.
More housing is headed to Chinatown. Plans for the Hill Street site include 162 housing units, ground-floor commercial space, and underground parking for residents. The lot is just two blocks north of LA Plaza Cultura Village.
We found apartments in Silver Lake, Chinatown, Valley Glen, Venice, and Hollywood, all renting for around the same price. But which one is the best deal? Vote to let us know!
Once featured in Dwell magazine, the 8,000-square-foot structure has gone through a number of incarnations since it was constructed in 1939. Right now, it contains two live/work lofts and three retail spaces.
