Considering the architectural style of Frank Gehry, these distinct buildings have again sculptural quality that is charming for the public. 

''8150 Sunset Boulevard'' holds 249 residential units consisting of rental apartments and condos along with retail and entertainment spaces. On the east, along Crescent Heights Boulevard is an 11-story building. Similarly, the western 15-story building compliments the Chateau Marmont. “After listening to the high priority placed on design by civic leaders in the city of Los Angeles and the local community, we knew there was only one choice for the pre-eminent architect of our time, and he happens to be local”, said Townscape Partners, who got Gehry to do this project, were noted in reports.

In addition, the proposed design would also be a “sustainable, walkable and livable” space, in the words of Townscape Partner Tyler Siegel. Gehry’s plan will be formally submitted for Environmental Impact Review in September and is expected to achieve LEED Silver or higher upon completion. The design looks attractive and is expected to commence in 2017.
