Los Angeles Undertakes Major Development Projects

LOS ANGELES - DECEMBER 15: The development of the mega-project L.A. Live entertainment complex continues next to Staples Center sports arena spurring a flurry of construction of high-rise loft buildings nearby on December 15, 2006 in Los Angeles, California. A boom in mega-projects including the L.A. Live entertainment complex and Grand Avenue developments downtown and a major expansion of Universal City at a combined cost of $7.5 billion could reshape the way Los Angeles grows. Residents of these communities are expected to have fewer reasons use their cars but critics fear that the sheer size of the projects will create traffic gridlock in the areas. The mixed-use L.A. Live "sports-entertainment" hub alone will include a convention center, next to the Los Angeles Convention Center, a 7,100-seat theater, 14-screen movie theater, luxury condominiums, a hotel, restaurants, and clubs, spurring a flurry of major residential loft building projects throughout the South Park area that surrounds it.
