Residential high-rise in downtown Glendale clears initial design stage
Wednesday, January 29, 2020A 350-foot tall, 348-unit residential high-rise proposed for downtown Glendale has passed its first design hurdle.
As currently conceived, the 35-story multifamily property planned for 610 N. Brand Blvd. — tentatively called Lucia Park — would be the tallest building in the city.
The height “touched a nerve” with several City Council members, as Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian put it during a special afternoon council meeting Jan. 21. The vote was split 3-2 in favor of approving the project’s conceptual design.
Council members Vartan Gharpetian and Paula Devine voted against approving the project, citing concerns ranging from the level of density to potential traffic impacts to aesthetic qualms.
