La Brea Gateway Project Finalists to Present Plans
The West Hollywood City Council has selected six finalists to compete for the La Brea Gateway Project, a proposed 7 3/4-acre mixed-use development on the city’s east side.
The site at the southwest corner of La Brea Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard is occupied by a carwash, several warehouses and a homeless shelter that will be moved to Hollywood, said Allyne Winderman, the city’s economic development and housing manager.
The buildings will be razed to make room for entertainment and retail businesses that will serve about 1 million people, said Winderman.
Proposals submitted for the project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2001, include the construction of a movie theater, clothing and book stores, restaurants and parking lots.
The six finalists are: Costco Companies, Crown Realty & Development, Oliver McMillan Development, The Olson Company and Hopkins Real Estates Group, Regent Properties and J.H. Snyder Co.
The city will choose a winner by September, Winderman said.
