THE GRAND BY GEHRY RISES 45 STORIES AND FEATURES 436 BESPOKE RESIDENCES
Frank Gehry’s The Grand residential building in downtown Los Angeles has finally opened, following over a decade of planning and construction. The project introduces a new level of luxury living downtown, rising 45 stories and featuring 436 bespoke residences together with an expansive 22,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities. Its biggest catch? Unparalleled views and vantages of the neighboring cultural landmarks, including Frank Gehry’s masterpiece, the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
‘The Grand by Gehry is the latest milestone in DTLA’s cultural renaissance that began with the City’s great arts and entertainment venues and now is one of the City’s premiere places to live,’ said Phoebe Yee, Executive Vice President of Design. ‘Nowhere else in Los Angeles combines the work of master architects and designers, with rarified service, extensive amenities, and proximity to such a vibrant cultural, culinary and fashion driven neighborhood—it’s redefining downtown living.’

A HIGHLY DESIRABLE LOCATION
Located within The Grand LA and developed by related companies, The Grand by Gehry residences feature premiere access to the neighborhood’s retail, dining and activations as well as Conrad Los Angeles. The highly desirable location is just steps from LA’s largest collection of cultural institutions, including Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA, The Broad, The Music Center, and DTLA’s 12-acre urban green space, Grand Park.
The residences include spacious studios, one-, two-, and three-bedrooms with interiors by designer Tony Ingrao and public spaces designed by David Rockwell and Rockwell Group. Interiors feature warm tones and natural materials, creating an embracing atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows with Juliet balconies flood the living areas and bedrooms with natural light, resulting in an oasis that overlooks the middle of downtown.

‘I am so proud of this building,’ said Frank Gehry. ‘From the start, our mission was to create a project that had a human scale to it and one that was a good neighbor to the buildings around it. And miraculously, I think we pulled it off.We did this in collaboration and partnership with our clients Related, who cared as much as we did about creating excellent urban space for downtown LA.’

Amenities include an attended lobby, an outdoor pool and terrace, a fitness center and yoga studio, an entertaining suite, a coworking space, and pet amenities for the furry residents to socialize and exercise.

The penthouse collection encompasses three floors of residences unlike any other in DTLA; pricing is available upon request. Move-ins will begin summer 2022.
