The 133-acre Bunker Hill Urban Renewal Project is bounded by First Street on the north, Hill Street on the east, Fifth Street on the south and the Harbor Freeway on the west.

The area was re-subdivided into 25 larger development sites and a new street system was constructed to overcome the steep topography and to connect the hilltop with the adjacent flatlands. By the end of 1998, some construction had occurred on all but six of the 25 sites, of which four are owned by the Agency while the remaining two are owned by the County.

The varied commercial, office and residential developments on Bunker Hill have changed the skyline of downtown Los Angeles, distinguishing the area as one of the most vital, dynamic and prestigious sections of the city.

Current activities in Bunker Hill focus on the following major endeavors:  a) supporting the work of the City/County Joint Powers Authority for the multi-phased development of four sites into housing, commercial, hotel and retail uses and the accompanying re-design of Grand Avenue to increase its vibrancy; b) completing a major transportation linkage by constructing Upper Second Street; c) improving the open space opportunities on Angels Knoll and in the plaza adjacent to the MTA portal; d) preparing for the development of the expansion of the Colburn School of Performing Arts and e) undertaking an amendment to the Bunker Hill Design for Development for the purpose of increasing density and defining the course of the Bunker Hill Urban Renewal Project for the next 20 years.
