WARE MALCOMB ANNOUNCES CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED ON NEW HIGH-RISE OFFICE BUILDING AT 2130 VIOLET STREET IN ARTS DISTRICT OF LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES (August 13, 2020) – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, today announced that design is complete and construction has begun on a new high-rise creative office building located at 2130 Violet Street in the Arts District of Los Angeles. Ware Malcomb provided architectural design services for the project, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021. Los Angeles-based national real estate investor, developer and manager Lowe is the developer of the project and the general contractor is Swinerton.
The project totals over 113,000 square feet in size and features a ground-up, nine-story creative office building situated along the Los Angeles River. Located in the LA Arts District, 2130 Violet Street includes 109,100 square feet of office space, 3,400 square feet of ground-floor retail opportunities, parking for 275 vehicles, and outdoor spaces including terraces and a 3,000 square foot rooftop deck/lounge with stunning views of the city.
The design of the building is heavily influenced by the Arts District’s industrial heritage and aesthetic as evidenced by the material selection of exposed concrete and steel detailing. Recessed terraces at the office floors provide indoor/outdoor connectivity while also creating depth to the overall massing. Operable windows provide additional access to fresh air. A roof deck with expansive views of the Downtown Los Angeles skyline will serve as building amenity. Ground floor retail fronting Violet Street protrudes from the office and parking tower with steel and glass to create a modern base. The retail will activate the street plane, becoming part of the urban fabric as an amenity not only to the office users but also to the immediate community.
“This is an exciting ground-up project in the vibrant and ever-evolving Arts District of Los Angeles,” said Radwan Madani, Principal of Ware Malcomb’s Los Angeles office. “2130 Violet Street offers a unique combination of large creative office suites, ground floor retail opportunities, a variety of outdoor spaces, and the incredible amenities of the surrounding area.”
Ware Malcomb has also completed several other projects in the Los Angeles Arts District, including: providing architecture and interior design services for 405 Mateo Street, an 83,285 square foot creative office and retail project; providing interior architecture and design services for the Soylent corporate headquarters located within the At Mateo campus; and providing interior architecture and design services for 25,000 SF of classrooms and offices at the USC Roski School of Art and Design.
