LOS ANGELES—San Francisco-based developer Carmel Partners‘ is set to open the doors of its long-awaited mixed-use multifamily project Eighth & Grand this summer. The massive 700-unit property will bring a 42,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market to the Downtown area, serving not only the residents but also the community as a whole. The Whole Foods is scheduled to open in November.

“With our central Downtown Los Angeles location and size, our vision was to be transformative to the neighborhood and create a destination,” Neils Cotter, VP of development at Carmel Partners, tells GlobeSt.com. “We are taking what was otherwise a three-acre void in downtown and creating a fantastic place to live with an active street presence with both retailers and pedestrians. We wanted to offer a product with modern amenities that meet a growing demand for an urban, sophisticated lifestyle. We designed a new building facade, doubled the project amenities and redesigned the retail to accommodate downtown’s first Whole Foods. Eighth & Grand is designed to appeal to a new era of downtown dwellers ready to embrace a vibrant metropolitan community where work and play easily come together.”
