This article first appeared in the 200912 issue of BD+C.

Located in a prime spot along Santa Monica Boulevard in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Pavilion will have 9,000 sf of retail space, 35,500 sf of office space, and two below-grade parking levels when it opens in late 2010. The $10 million, three-story building extends a full length of the block to create a window wall of blue-gray translucent, fritted glass panels overlooking the famous boulevard below. The retail level will have clear floor-to-ceiling glass panels. The Building Team includes Nadel Architects, Ed Gush General Contractor (GC), Innovative Engineering Group (MEP), and Englekirk Partners Consulting (structural engineer).
