THE MEDALLION
Los Angeles, CA

Phase One of the Medallion, comprising a half city block of downtown Los Angeles, consists of 96 residential lofts, 85,000 sf of retail space, and parking for 260 cars. Located at the juncture of retail, governmental and emerging residential uses, The Medallion is taking shape as a lynchpin in the evolution of Los Angeles' downtown, as well as a transitional element between the city's Historic Core to the south and new Civic structures emerging to the north. It is designed to integrate into the existing street and traffic patterns of the city, and a one acre urban park. The corner of 4th and Main will act as a beacon locating The Medallion within the urban landscape. A retail floor that continues the existing street grid into the development at Los Angeles Street is located below the entire development. Atop the retail level is a podium at the Main Street level that serves as the base for the residential floors and structured parking, and provides a landscaped open space where the retail and residential tenants come together with the city. Recreational amenities are located on the roof of the parking to enhance the residential environment. Completion scheduled for the 2nd quarter of 2010.
