A mix of housing, office space, and more could be seen in Downtown Los Angeles. The project proposal includes replacing the existing cold storage facility with a new mixed-use facility consisting of ten buildings ranging from two to forty-two stories in height.
Denver-based developer, Continuum Partners, is developing this project in an industrial area at the neighborhood’s border with Little Tokyo and Skid Row. The architecture firm, Studio One Eleven, is developing the master plan.
