I was involved in this project in both the condo development and the hotel. As I mentioned a few posts up, we could have our own version with Charlie Given's group doing a ZaZa and coupling it with a condo/for rent tower. It could even be called OK Live. The site sets up very much like LA Live in its proximity to downtown and the arena, just like LA Live and Staples Center. If you swing that picture around you see downtown LA high rises start just to the North. It has spurred several renovations and condo conversions close by. It took a slummy area and made it cool
