The Los Angeles City Council moved to finalize plans for the long-awaited expansion of the Los Angeles County Convention Center in downtown. Populous will be leading the design work for the project, which includes a landscaped component from OLIN as was previously reported in March of 2022.
The pre-design work could cost up to $100 million before the estimated $1.4 billion project kicks off in 2025. According to the city’s press release: “190,000 square feet of space to create one contiguous hall, and will add 55,000 square feet of new meeting room space and 95,000 square feet of multipurpose space. The plan also includes a redesign of Gilbert Lindsay Plaza, which will add public open space and become an exciting outdoor venue for event programming.”
Plans for a new 37-story Marriott Hotel tower from Gensler at the site are being delayed for right now, says Urbanize LA. The fate of the nearby unfinished Oceanwide Plaza development also remains unclear.
