1 Km Project

This schematic project consists of a new 1/2 km long civic center - 20,000 sqm retail, a city hall, a hotel with a regional conference center, an office building, a train station, 1,000 residential units, and diplomatic housing - linked to the historic pedestrian downtown by a 1/2 km retail art walk.
Challenges to the design arose from the complexity of the program (civic, entertainment, office, commercial, and residential) located within a small and complicated footprint (access, security, privacy).
The north boundary is a huge, regionally successful shopping mall to which the project had to connect; the project crosses over regional train tracks and two major thoroughfare; street frontage is minimal; connection to the historic center would involve private property rights.

NOHO COMMONS

This core and shell retail project is Phase II of a redevelopment plan for the heart of North Hollywood (Los Angeles), which includes a metro station to the north, live-work housing to the east, and an office building to the south.
Several issues made this project more complex in permitting and construction:
As this was a core and shell project, management work on it included coordinating with the tenants who fitted their interiors and storefronts.
