URBAN REVITALIZATION: Creating and Preserving Place

Grand Central Market
Completion: Ongoing
Los Angeles
81,000 square feet

For generations, the John Parkinson-designed Grand Central Market has been the focus of downtown's communal life. Successive waves of Angelenos of various ethnicities have mingled in its cavernous space, rubbing shoulders, buying everyday and exotic foods. In a sprawling, car-defining metropolis, the market is one of the few places where this interaction occurs so vividly. Peeling off layers of earlier modernizations, Levin & Associates has updated and enlivened the market's 38 separate stalls. Vintage neon signs marking each stall have been restored, and new ones were created. The market's connection between Broadway and Bunker Hill district to the west, has been clarified as one of downtown's most energetic social and physical linkages and revitalizing and recognizing food venues
