Located in the heart of the entertainment capital of the world, the 26-acre the L.A. Live entertainment district is the leading special events center on the West Coast. The district’s focal-point is a 55-story hotel and condominium complex featuring 123 Ritz-Carlton luxury hotel rooms, 224 Ritz-Carlton Residences and 878 J.W. Marriott hotel rooms. Just steps away from the STAPLES Center and Nokia Theater, the project features ballroom and meeting space, a fitness center, a rooftop pool and bar, and Wolfgang Puck’s WP24 Restaurant.
The Hotel & Residences at LA Live received the Mixed-Use Design Concept Award from the 38th Annual L.A. Architectural Awards. The Marble Institute of America awarded two 2010 Pinnacle Awards to LA Live for the Commercial Exterior and Interior categories.
Sustainable features include:
-
Brown Field Redevelopment - Prior to construction, the project site was identified as contaminated. The rehabilitation of damaged sites reduces the pressure on undeveloped land and cleans up land otherwise unbuildable.
-
Reducing Heat Island Effect - Roofing materials with a high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) are designed to reduce the heat island effect of the roof. An innovation in design credit will be achieved by placing 100% of the parking underground.
-
Water Efficiency - 50% of the potable water consumption for landscape irrigation will be reduced by selecting drought tolerant plantings and using high efficiency irrigation fixtures. Building potable water consumption will be reduced by 20%.
-
Emissions - All refrigerants used minimize the emission of compounds that contribute to ozone depletion and global warming.
-
Materials & Resources - 95% of the construction and demolition debris will be recycled or salvaged. Materials will be used with recycled content such that the percent recycled constituted 10% (based on cost) of the total materials used.
-
Low-Emitting Materials - All adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, composite wood, and agrifiber products will have low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) to increase the quality of indoor air.
-
Thermal Comfort Controls - Individual comfort controls will be provided for more than 50% of the building occupants in order to suit individual task needs and preferences.
-
Daylight & Views - 75% of regularly occupied spaces will have natural daylight illumination. 90% of regularly occupied spaces will have a direct line of sight to the outdoor environment.
-
Innovation - A reduced quantity of structural materials will be needed as a result of the advanced structural steel framing design.
