The Glory of the Golden Mile Returns as
CRESCENT SHAPED CARLYLE RESIDENCES GIVES
LOS ANGELES REAL ESTATE SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT

(July, 2009) - Los Angeles - Long awaited dynamic changes transforming the iconic “Golden Mile” back to its glory days of luster are taking shape.  Residents can expect the unexpected, as the Corridor is no longer the home of tradition, rather a trendsetter in the marketplace, attracting, once again, the highly-successful international elite, young Hollywood and business moguls alike.

From an 1820s Spanish land grant to a rather nondescript 1950’s patchwork of apartment buildings, modest hotels and landmark churches and synagogues, Westwood’s Wilshire Corridor has again emerged as one of the most desirable addresses in Southern California. The wide, winding boulevard was named for Henry Gaylord Wilshire, a developer who arrived in the Los Angeles area in 1884; The Wilshire Corridor's "Golden Mile" is once again, one of the most desirable residential high-rise streets in the world.

The Carlyle Residences, the newest addition to the winding two-mile section of Wilshire Boulevard to the east of Westwood Village is a new cornerstone. The first new construction project, which was also the last permitted high-rise on the Boulevard, will come to completion by end of summer 2009. The project, by renowned international developers, Elad Properties, has unprecedented collaborations in the market with the best in architecture, design, construction, décor, amenities providers and even financing packages.  The crescent shape building is setting the bar to new heights and standards for the new tone for the boulevard.

The Wilshire Corridor overall is a cosmopolitan byway – connecting the entire city with a network of neighborhoods on all sides and offers an unparalleled “skyscape”. The corridor also offers cultural, educational, and shopping destinations along Wilshire Boulevard, as well as easy access and a direct route from the Pacific Ocean all the way through Downtown Los Angeles from the East, West, and North and South. The famed Geffen Theater and unmatched Hammer Museum are neighbors, as well as major movie theatre palaces and hundreds of spectacular restaurants and shops.  The Miracle Mile area also now boasts a new anchor tenant with Trader Joe’s in the heart of Westwood and the there is the first ever green hotel in Los Angeles, also on the Corridor.

While the monorail system proposed in 1990 by the Westwood Planning Commission never materialized to get residents and visitors alike through some of the most dynamic communities that cross the Boulevard, it is still the crux of what makes Los Angeles a truly unique city and one that it a true microcosm of so many smaller cities, varying communities and centers.  As Frank Gehry the famed Architect once said, "The real downtown of L.A. is as long as it is linear, it’s Wilshire Boulevard."

At the center of attention is The Carlyle Residences, capturing the essence of elegant living and the epitome of full service, maintenance-free estate living in this cosmopolitan, urban setting. This elevated luxury is once again becoming the choice for the most discriminating homeowners who are seeking the perfect retreat from the rigors of the city - yet within easy reach of the beaches, Beverly Hills, Century City, the entire Westside and even downtown. These new buyers want the elegance of the high-rise lifestyle and the amenities and comfort that go along with it. They are sophisticated, elegant, educated and worldly, and are looking for all that high-rise living offers.  The Carlyle Residences offers the ultimate privacy and security, as well as concierge services that are unmatched.

The Carlyle Residences boats an innate elegance and ease of life that simply do not and cannot exist when living on the ground level. Each unique angularly shaped unit in the crescent building was designed around specific attention to detail to maximize the unobstructed views from each sun-drenched floor to ceiling window.  The result is spectacular jetliner panoramas from Century City to the Pacific Ocean, and as far as Downtown, that are an integral part of the dramatic visual impressions and scintillating appeal that contribute to this elegant and unique lifestyle that The Carlyle offers.
