Reconstruction & Renovation

Renovated casino part of redevelopment project at Los Angeles-area racetrack

Hollywood Park racetrack in Inglewood, Calif., will soon become Hollywood Park Tomorrow, a 238-acre development project that has been stalled since 2009 due to the economic downturn. Work is scheduled to begin in January which will include a renovation of the Hollywood Park casino, and construction of a 300-room hotel, a shopping center, 2,995 residences, office space, parks and two lakes. Several new streets will also need to be built across the site. Developers are reportedly deciding now how to phase the project, and are expected to make a decision this summer.
