A quick summary of the Ten50 project which is located in DTLA's South Park district at 11th and Grand Avenue (northeast corner). From a previous LAOCDB coverage on this project: 

"According to Trumark Urban's website, Ten50 would still retain its condominium type residences and also at a total of 151 condominium dwelling units. Retail space totals about 5,820 square feet. It also states the tower will stand at 25 stories.".

​As shown from the picture above, the Ten50 project is now working on its façade while the tower continues its vertical growth. Here is another picture:

To ring in the New Year, I decided to attend the N.Y.E.L.A event in DTLA's Grand Park. Going there for this event has become more of a tradition as I have attended the past two years including its inception. Another tradition, involves taking the LA Metro Gold Line from the Atlantic Station. I knew this was going to be an exciting night.
