Los Angeles — Nadel Architects has announced that the retail component of Rise Koreatown, a seven-story mixed-use development in Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood, is nearing completion. The project will introduce more than 52,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, which will be anchored by a 30,000-square-foot Zion Market, an American supermarket chain that specializes in Korean and Asian foods. The retail component of Rise Koreatown is expected to open later this year.
Developed by Rescore Property Corp., the broader project includes over 350 residential units. Nadel’s design team drew inspiration from the social dining environments commonly found throughout South Korea, where food halls, shared dining areas and clusters of small restaurants “create lively destinations that encourage people to gather and linger.”
