RGA Reimagining Grand Avenue Skidmore Owings & Merrill, LLP Winning Competition Proposal Bunker Hill, Los Angeles 2004 The Grand Avenue project is the last major piece of the Bunker Hill redevelopment process started in the Sixties. To acquire the right to develop this 1.8 billion dollar project, The Related Companies and their development team studied the area, its history, and similar projects around the world to assemble a set of principles that could guide future planning and design for the projected 3.8 million square feet of housing, retail, office, and cultural facilities. The project also included devising a strategy for redesigning and rebuilding the 16 acre County Mall into a vibrant "Central Park" for downtown Los Angeles.
