Award
Architectural Engineering Project
Description
Located across from the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown LA’s cultural core, The Grand LA is one of the largest, vertically integrated, mixed-use developments in the nation. With signature architecture by renowned architect Frank Gehry, The Grand LA provides a convergence of premier hospitality, specialty retail, unparalleled cuisine by distinguished restaurateurs, and 436 residences, creating a centerpiece for the Grand Avenue corridor that promotes community and culture.
The Grand LA’s residential tower, rises 45 stories with 436 luxury residences, of which 20% are affordable apartments. The 20-story, 308-key Conrad Los Angeles, the flagship of Hilton’s luxury hotel brands, flanks the residential tower and includes 12,000 square feet of meeting rooms and ballrooms, lounges, outdoor pool, and 27,000 square feet of restaurants which features two dining concepts by acclaimed Chef José Andrés, San Laurel and Agua Viva. Between the two towers is a large, public plaza with open terraces that will host outdoor music and art, accessible to all visitors.
Residents and visitors have access to sustainable and unique amenities, including EV charging stations, on-demand electric vehicle car sharing and over 150 bicycle parking spaces. The Grand’s site design enhances the neighborhood fabric with mixed uses and an activated, pedestrian-friendly streetscape.
Having achieved LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council in early 2023, The Grand LA incorporated sustainable and innovative features throughout and exceeds energy efficiency requirements.
The Grand LA is Los Angeles’ newest dynamic destination that combines lifestyle, arts, culture and entertainment.
