The Grand Avenue Project is proposed for implementation by The Los Angeles Grand Avenue Authority. The Authority was established through a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles. The Authority has contracted with the Grand Avenue Committee (GAC) to provide certain real property negotiating and other related services. The Project's developer, The Related Companies, L.P. and its development entity, Grand Avenue L.A., LLC, was selected through a competitive process. The Grand Avenue Implementation Plan, which guides the description of the Project, represents a collaborative effort among the Authority, GAC and developers.

The Project consists of the following three components in downtown Los Angeles: (1) the creation of a 16-acre Civic Park that builds and expands upon the existing Civic Center Mall that connects Los Angeles' City Hall to Grand Avenue; (2) streetscape improvements along Grand Avenue between Fifth Street and Cesar E. Chavez Avenue to attract and accommodate more pedestrian traffic; and (3) development of five parcels, which are referred to as Parcels Q, W-2, L and M-2. The fifth parcel is referred to as Parcel W-1.
