The mixed use development will be designed by Starchitect Bjarke Ingels of BIG with construction set to commence in 2020.

The secondary WEHO development led by The Vella Group, will be the long awaited Arts Club. The property was referred to as “an exceptionally good project for the Sunset Strip and will set in motion a lot of new and exciting adventures up there” by West Hollywood City Mayor John D’Amico.
