LA’s Little Tokyo Metro-owned site due for development


At a community meeting last week, four developers pitched plans for a Metro-owned property above the under-construction 1st/Central subway station in Little Tokyo...Though the station site is 1.2 acres, the property only offers a 14,500-square-foot building pad due to the diagonal orientation of the 1st/Central station box.



"Metro released a request for qualifications to prospective developers in August 2018, and received eight responses by January 2019," reports Urbanize. Of those eight, four have moved forward: Little Tokyo Service Center (LTSC), who has teamed up with FSY Architects; Centre Urban Real Estate Partners in collaboration with Stantec and Kritzinger & Rao; Kaji & Associates, teaming up with Kengo Kuma & Associates and Gruen Associates; and Innovative Housing Opportunities.
