At 31-stories, ARQ is the tallest free-standing structure in the area, transforming the West L.A. Sands: ARQ is situated atop Cumulus District in the center of this new development.
How is ARQ different from what’s being built in the L.A. The name ARQ is derived from the abbreviation in the radio industry of “automatic repeat, request.” VOX, meaning voice, is the name of the midrise residential building whose design will focus on integrating music, sound and movement throughout. With this in mind, the names of both residential buildings-ARQ and VOX-are inspired by Cumulus’ radio heritage, and reflect the legacy of entertainment and media that continues to thrive in the neighborhood. Sands: Cumulus District is named after its historic location set on the former Cumulus Media broadcast site. What’s the story behind the project’s name? Our intention with the project was to develop a destination within the heart of this micro-neighborhood that reflects how Los Angeles is transforming, while celebrating the history of West Adams and Culver City. Cumulus District not only provides a much-needed housing supply to accommodate the area’s growing workforce, but it also offers a community focused on accessibility and an enhanced quality of life. Sands: Culver City and West Adams are two neighborhoods that are going through an incredible renaissance at the moment due to the influx of fast-growing tech, media and entertainment industry companies and jobs. Why did you choose the corridor between Culver City and West Adams for developing Cumulus District and ARQ? In addition, proper sanitary equipment was provided to all staff. Therefore, during this unprecedented pandemic, we have greatly increased our current safety measures to include an elevated protocol that requires daily wellness and temperature checks for all staff, strict hand-washing and increased personal hygiene practices, along with mandatory face coverings or masks which must be worn while on-site. The health and safety of our associates remained our foremost priority. Sands: In the early stages of the pandemic, California deemed residential construction an essential business, allowing the Cumulus District project and ARQ to move forward. How did you adjust your protocols to prepare for the new project opening amid these challenging times? Andy Sands, Managing Partner, Carmel Partners.
