Donald T. Sterling Homeless Center
Real estate mogul and Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling announced in April that he had purchased land at the corner of Sixth and Wall streets in Skid Row. Sterling said he intended to move forward with a $50 million homeless center. According to the most recent information available, partners and service providers are still being sought and no specific plan has been submitted to the city. Sterling has said he wants the building to include a medical and legal center as well as a homeless court. Yet to be built.

Inner-City Arts
Construction on a $9 million complex for the Skid Row nonprofit has begun, with demolition of an existing warehouse in August and initial construction in September, said Sharyn Church, deputy director of Inner-City Arts. Plans by architect Michael Maltzan for the facility at 720 S. Kohler St. include space for a new ceramics complex, a library and a $3 million community theater; the latter will create costume and set design shops and a green room, and will enable Inner-City Arts to significantly increase its drama program. It will also provide a venue for student and professional theatrical and musical productions. Santa Monica-based landscape designer Nancy Goslee Power is overseeing a children's garden.

James M. Wood Apartments
The Single Room Occupancy Housing Corp. has secured funding for a $14 million, 53-unit development to house low-income, mentally ill tenants at 514 S. San Julian St. in Central City East. The non-profit developer expects to break ground in November, said SRO Housing Corp. Director of Planning and Housing Development Joseph Corcoran, and complete the building by March 2009.
