"Construction by the Howard-Platz Group of Glendale is expected to begin in April. The project will be built in two phases and feature a large public plaza between the towers, said Jeanne Armstrong, redevelopment director. A nine-story office tower and parking structure for 400 vehicles will be built at the northeast corner of Lexington Drive and Brand."
"In the second phase, a 20-story office tower and nine-level parking garage with 1,116 spaces will be built to replace the six-story former Valley Federal Bank building on the southeast corner of Milford Street and Brand. Construction on that phase is expected to start in early 1993."
"Vasquez said the plaza is based on the concept of a Venetian garden and will feature sculptures and tall palm trees. Architect Ernest Vasquez of Costa Mesa told agency members that the block-long project will complement the 22-story tower just completed by the Howard-Platz Group at 500 N. Brand Blvd."
The Glendale Redevelopment Agency approved initial plans for a major commercial development featuring two office towers totaling 560,000 square feet on the 400 block of North Brand Boulevard. The Howard-Platz Group will construct the project in two phases beginning in April. Phase one includes a nine-story office tower and 400-space parking structure at the northeast corner of Lexington Drive and Brand. Phase two, starting early 1993, will feature a 20-story office tower and 1,116-space parking garage replacing the former Valley Federal Bank building. A large public plaza inspired by Venetian gardens will occupy the space between towers, featuring sculptures and palm trees. City officials will conduct traffic studies and plan street improvements for Milford Street.
