The Big Burbank apartment-hotel complex will be built along I-5

In one of the region’s largest land transactions this year, properties along the Golden State Freeway in Burbank have sold $ 40 million to open the way for large-scale apartments and hotel complexes called LaTerra Burbank.

Los Angeles real estate company LaTerra Development plans to begin work this year on a $ 375 million project, which will include 573 apartments in two towers and a 307-storey seven-story hotel. Construction has been approved by the city and is scheduled for completion in 2023.

The complex will offer 69 units, 12% of the total, categorized as affordable and subsidized for residents who earn less than the regional median at the time, said Chris Tourtellotte, managing director of LaTerra Development. Rent has not been established for market-level units ranging from studio sizes to three-room apartments.

The property at 777 N. Front Street near Burbank Boulevard was sold to LaTerra and Canadian investment company QuadReal Property Group by the Boeckmann family, which owns Galpin Ford and once considered opening a car dealership at the site. Lastly used for the production of storage cases by Zero Manufacturing.

Escrow lasted more than four years because the sale depended on city approval for housing and hotel developments, Tourtellotte said. City Council approved the project unanimously in December.

The 8-length site near the Burbank Metrolink train station will include public facilities such as galleries, landscape sidewalks with outdoor seating and protected bicycle paths along Front Street. Lifts and stairs will help pedestrians cross from Front Street to downtown Burbank on the Magnolia Boulevard bridge over the freeway.

There will be a rooftop swimming pool and a table for residents and a separate pool for guests at the hotel, which does not yet have an operator. There will also be retail space for rent covering 1,100 square meters.

Burbank has one of the highest employment and housing inequalities in California, said real estate broker Brett Warner of Lee & Associates, who helped regulate property sales and was a former president of the Burbank Chamber of Commerce. Thousands of people commute to town every day to work in large companies such as Warner Bros Studios and Walt Disney Co.

The project, which can be renamed before opening, was designed by Urban Architecture Labs and TCA Architects. The developer hopes to achieve LEED gold certification that is environmentally friendly from the United States Green Building Council, Tourtellotte said.

La Terra specializes in building urban housing and is currently developing a complex use complex in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz near the Vermont / Sunset subway station Metro Red Line. The company recently also acquired an apartment development site on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood with QuadReal.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
