Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and project officials spoke at a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for the mixed-use project on a 5-acre site at Coliseum Street and La Brea Avenue in the Baldwin Hills neighborhood. View Park Community Hospital used to be on the vacant lot.

Thrive Living, along with Los Angeles city and community leaders, has broken ground on 5035 Coliseum Plaza, a mixed-use project in South Los Angeles. The community will feature a Costco Wholesale anchoring the street-level retail space and 800 units of rental housing above.

The 5-acre lot near the intersection of Coliseum and La Brea, will be home to the first mixed-use development in the nation to have Costco as the anchor retail tenant.
