The Energy Solutions is located on the opposite side of the street.
In the year 2004, a few more units were constructed at the site. Among them special mention has to be made of the 12 storied condominium tower called The Parc. The building overlooks the Olympic legacy Plaza with some of the units being sold at more than 500,000 dollars.
Presently the gateway District is undergoing expansion. An eight storied building covering 230,000 square feet area is built for the sole possession of Fidelity Investments in the northeastern part of the complex. More retain spaces are also under construction. A store of the reputed Apple computers is the latest addition to this prestigious retail complex.
