At the epicenter of The Broad museum and Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Colburn School of Music and the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Grand anchors Downtown Los Angeles’ cultural and civic core, supplying the missing elements needed for Grand Avenue to become one of the world‘s great streets. The dynamic shops, chef-driven restaurants, entertainment, Equinox Hotel, and residences will ensure The Grand becomes one of Los Angeles’ premier destinations and a sought after place to live.

Renowned Canadian-American architect, Frank Gehry’s concept of this structure was to resemble the classic Jenga wood block game.
"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," said Gehry.
Two faceted structures rise out of a base that houses retail spaces and other amenities for the block, while a large outdoor courtyard between the two buildings is oriented towards the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

The Grand is a 1,130,000 square-foot mixed-use development in downtown Los Angeles across from The Broad Museum and Walt Disney Concert Hall that includes commercial, cultural and grand public spaces and 164,000 square-foot of retail and restaurant area. The Conrad Hotel is 24 stories with 305 rooms. The Grand by Gehry is a 39-story, 436-unit residential tower with a 2,400 square-foot fitness center, lounge and bar, catering kitchen and co-working spaces.
