Beverly Connection
The Beverly Connection is a large power center in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles, across La Cienega Boulevard from the Beverly Center mall. It was originally proposed to be 1,100,000 square feet (100,000 m2) in size but was scaled down to its opening size of 296,000 square feet (27,500 m2) due to concerns about traffic congestion, availability of parking and overdevelopment in the neighborhood.[1][2][3]
It opened in January 1989 with anchors including a Ralphs supermarket, Cost Plus Imports, Physico Fitness Superstores, The Wherehouse record store.
Later a cinema multiplex opened in the complex, as General Cinemas,[4] later AMC Theatres.
The original design had 358,117 square feet of commercial space including retail and restaurants, the 1,875-seat theater complex and approximately 28,868 square feet of office space. The center was renovated in 2006–7; the cinemas were demolished and the center added condominiums and assisted living residences.[5][6]
