Work on the Grand, a long-anticipated mixed-use complex designed by architect Frank Gehry has reached the halfway mark as construction carries on unobtrusively through the pandemic.
The towering collection of apartments, stores, restaurants, movie theaters and a luxury hotel is rising on a full city block across Grand Avenue from Gehry’s famed Walt Disney Concert Hall at a time when few are around to witness its creation.

Roger Vincent of The Los Angeles Times checks in on the construction progress for The Grand, a forthcoming $1 billion mixed-use development taking shape in Downtown Los Angeles across from the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
The project, designed by Gehry Partners, has been in the works for nearly two decades and is finally coming to fruition now, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Vincent reports that the construction site, which employs roughly 400 workers who are practicing social distancing, is among the largest in Southern California at the moment.
