"This structure is another fine example of the Spanish Colonial Revival Style building on Hollywood Boulevard. Norman W. Alpaugh was a Canadian Architect who moved to Los Angeles; he also designed buildings in New York. The delicacy of the grillwork and Moorish detail give this building a warmth and attractiveness that is unsurpassed. The enclosed interior courtyard with tiled fountain captures the romantic feeling of Spain, and is unusual for commercial buildings in Hollywood. Designed around a parking lot, with an elaborate rear entrance, this structure is one of the earliest structures in Hollywood (and possibly Los Angles) to be oriented around the automobile, predating Bullock’s Wilshire similar treatment” (Hollywood Revitalization, 1978).

The Hollywood Story – Past and Present
Hollywood is rapidly ascending into the defining urban core of Los Angeles. As a result of a huge, decade long, public investment in infrastructure (including a dominant presence on the metrorail), Hollywood is undergoing a profound renaissance which promises to fulfill its extraordinary potential. Real estate stories rarely read like this one. The brand name of Hollywood is an unparalleled location in the very center of Los Angeles. The anchor of the entertainment industry, Hollywood is also a regional leader in healthcare, a huge tourism business, and has emerged as Los Angeles's most important nightlife destination. There are literally dozens of new, hip and trendy, cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs. These values help to drive an urban environment, which features historically compelling architecture, and plenty of underdeveloped parcels zoned for high-rise, high-density projects.
Political Will and Community Support
Hollywood benefits from almost across-the-board governmental consensus and support for redevelopment. The area enjoys broad-based grass roots community support for redevelopment. Hollywood has a strong Chamber of Commerce and four highly successful property owner-based Business Improvement Districts (BID).
Physical Infrastructure and Land Use Policies Support High Density Urban Developments
Hollywood is on its way to bolstering its reputation as one of the most recognized brands in the world. In New York style, Hollywood benefits from a true urban grid, supporting a pedestrian friendly walking community. There are many high-density mixed-use projects promoted by the planning department and Mayor's office, especially near metrorail protals.
Hollywood's Redevelopment Market
Hollywood currently has at least twenty grand-scale redevelopment projects announced or underway, totaling $5.3 Billion. The projects currently underway include: “Sunset & Vine,” “Cinerama Dome,” “Blvd 6200,” “6230 Sunset Boulevard,” “5295 Sunset Blvd,” and the “Pali House,” to name a few. The city also has at least thirteen grand-scale building renovation projects underway, including: the “Capitol Records Building,” “Millennium Project,” “TV-Guide Building,” “Hollywood Plaza Building,” “El Capitan Theater and Office Building,” and the “Selma Hotel.”
