I highly recommend everyone to check out the refined plans for the Crossroads of the World development posted on Urbanized. I think this is as close to a perfect project as can be had in Los Angeles. High quality architecture, a focus on the pedestrian experience, and very high density. This project is going to compose of almost 1000 residential units, as well as hotel, retail and office space. I just love the thought that is going in to this project, like the re-alignment of the street, the pedestrian paseo that empties on to Highland specifically so there is a link to the Red Line station, and the building heights matching the surrounding buildings (besides the high rises). Reading the draft EIR, I noticed that they stated they specifically avoided placing driveways on Sunset, to maintain a comprehensive pedestrian experience. That level of thought and effort to maintain the urbanity of a neighborhood is rarely seen in Los Angeles. And, of course, The Crossroads of the World will be restord. Can one ask for more?
