Stadium
Walk (Wazee Street side) |
 |
The Stadium
Walk project was a proposed $72 million redevelopment of this entire block
that was to include a Planet Hollywood, a multi-screen theatre complex,
additional retail and entertainment spaces, and residential condominiums.
The project was announced to great fanfare in the mid-1990s, with Arnold
Schwarzenegger as the owner/developer. The project's scope included
the renovation of the Blake Street buildings, with all the new construction
taking place along the Wazee Street side. The buildings along Blake
were eventually renovated, but the rest of the project never happened.
There's been no press about the project for years -- as a result, it's not
listed here as an official infill project. The project architect was David Tryba
Architects and the rendering shown at left is of the proposed Wazee side new
construction. |
This
block is great along the Blake Street side, with all the buildings
renovated, as promised, as part of the Stadium Walk project. The Wazee
Street side still suffers from parking lots. This block's location is
ideal, so eventually it will be redeveloped, but most likely not as
envisioned by Mr. Schwarzenegger. Wazee Street has such a complete
street wall from 14th through 17th -- too bad the Wazee Street side of
this block has remained as incomplete as it has. |
