DC Squared Management, LLC

The Grand LA is a visionary public-private partnership with the Los Angeles Grand Avenue Authority to revitalize downtown LA’s cultural and civic core with a mix of commercial, retail, cultural and residential apartments stitched together with grand public spaces and world-class architecture. The Grand LA was designed to be a dynamic city center, including over 176,000 square feet of retail space anchored by chef-driven restaurants and a collection of shops, a hotel and luxury residences.

Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, The Grand LA complements the adjacent Disney Concert Hall and connects with the nearby arts and cultural institutions through Gehry’s distinct design. Gehry’s vision for The Grand LA was to create a centerpiece for Grand Avenue that promotes community gatherings and cultural performances in an open space, in addition to providing shopping, dining and residential experiences. Nearby arts and culture venues include the Music Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Colburn School of Music, The Broad Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, forming a dynamic mixed-use district fitting for the cultural center of Los Angeles.

DC Squared Management played a pivotal role in supporting the retail aspects of The Grand LA. Our team provided administrative and organizational project management services, working closely with the local site team to drive the design, schedule, and construction processes. Through Stephanie’s effective organizational skills, we ensured efficient tracking of project progress, costs, and scope, ultimately contributing to cost savings and successful delivery of the retail program.
