The Planning Report interviews two of the most prominent developers shaping Los Angeles' urban core.
The mark Ira Yellin and Dan Rosenfeld have left on Downtown Los Angeles cannot be measured by the number of projects they have worked on, but rather in the profound love that they have nurtured in a generation of residents who now live, work and play in our urban core. In hopes of continuing that legacy, Urban Partners, their year-old development company, was recently selected as developer for both the Caltrans Headquarters and the L.A. County Courthouse. The Planning Reports interviews them to gain insight into these projects and their meaning for the continuing redevelopment of the core.
