Theater Project Groundbreaking in NoHo

The third and final phase of the NoHo Commons project from developer J.H. Snyder Co. was ceremonially launched today, breaking ground for the coming Laemmle movie theater, a Class A office complex and the refurbished Phil’s Diner. The $79.4 million project sits on three acres on Lankershim Boulevard and Weddington Street and is a joint project with the Community Redevelopment District/L.A. Jerry Snyder, the developer’s senior partner, said they will be filing permits this week and expect to begin construction in about 90 days. The parking and office complex will be begun first upon an estimated 15-month timeline. The seven-screen movie house is planned to have a 7-month construction plan, geared to open by Thanksgiving in 2009, or missing that intense movie-going period, it will be set open by the following summer, officials said. Present to promote the ground-breaking were Mayor Antonio Villargaroisa, Councilman Tom LaBonge, Laemmle Theaters owner Bob Laemmle and Snyder, in addition to CRA/LA officials Cecilia V. Estolano and Brice Ackerman.
