Glendale City Council Chooses Caruso for Town Center

LOS ANGELES-Members of the Glendale City Council have unanimously chosen Santa Monica-based Caruso Affiliated Holdings as the developer for the community’s $100-million town center project.

The redevelopment project, known as Glendale Town Center, will be constructed on 12 acres bounded by Brand Boulevard and Colorado Street. The mixed-use complex will encompass between 300,000 sf and 400,000 sf and will consist of retail, residential and office components set around a large civic plaza.

The city council decision will enable Caruso to negotiate a development agreement with the city’s Redevelopment Agency. In the meantime, the developer plans to solicit community input to create a detailed project plan for the center. The project’s design team is headed up by Dave Williams, Caruso’s VP of architecture and design, and includes Boston-based architects Elkus/Manfredi and landscape architects Lifescapes.
