We've been reading about the innovative "build to rent" housing market for a while and are thrilled to working with Cyrene at Meadowlands on their project in Northern California.

100000% Agree that converting office buildings into living spaces is an ideal solution, great article. “The remote work revolution could devastate municipalities’ downtowns and finances, or it could help resolve their housing crises.

Celebrating the completion of phase one of the Hollyhock House’s 100-year-old guest house "Residence A" in Barnsdall Art Park. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as a guest house to the Hollyhock House.
The Hollyhock House was built between 1919 and 1921 for Aline Barnsdall, and it was Frank Lloyd Wright’s first commission in Los Angeles. In 2019, it became Los Angeles’ first UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also one of eight Wright buildings that were collectively recognized as UNESCO’s first modern architecture designation in the United States.

It took a few years but we're elated to share the unveiling of a new outdoor sculpture by noted Los Angeles artist Ruben Rojas. The commissioned artwork, titled EVOLve, marks the expansion of The Alhambra Public Art Program. The piece is a permanent installation in The Alhambra’s Certified Butterfly Garden. The massive 8-foot by 6-foot sculpture features Rojas’ iconic “love” script, with a realistic depiction of a Monarch Butterfly gently alighting at the tip.
The Alhambra Public Art Program was launched in 2019 to serve the community and support local artists. The inaugural exhibition was presented by the Academy of Special Dreams, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing awareness to artists in the special needs community.

From the 1133 Hope DTLA Blog: "The new Proper Hotel has debuted in the Fashion District, and along with it two restaurants — Caldo Verde and Cara Cara. Why this is huge news: It brings celebrated chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne to DTLA, the two geniuses behind iconic L.A. spots A.O.C. and Lucques. Caldo Verde is the ground-floor, all-day restaurant serving breakfast through dinner and weekend brunch"!

When it comes to brunch, you want something special. Not in a frou-frou way, at least not all the time. More in a “we want all the things, and lots of coffee, and Bloody Marys” kind of way. While you can find some amazing food for breakfast and lunch around 1133 Hope and Downtown L.A. … Contin...
