The new architectural landmarks of downtown.

Downtown's urban renaissance will further reinforce Los Angeles' stature as one of the world's most dynamic cities--and big landmark-style developments are no small part of that. By the end of last year, more than $3 billion had been invested in commercial and municipal development, as well as restoration projects in the City's core, among them:

* Walt Disney Concert Hall--This Frank Gehry-designed masterpiece and testimonial to public/private collaboration, will become home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

* Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels--The inspiring center of the City's Catholic Archdiocese, designed by Jose Rafael Moneo, features a 150-foot-high campanile and sprawling outdoor plaza.

* Subway Terminal Building--Dramatic conversion of the former subway terminal building to live and work lofts with theatres and restaurants.

* Staples Center--The $400 million, standard-setting sports and entertainment complex--adjacent to the Convention Center--home to basketball's Lakers and Clippers, the Kings hockey team and the Avengers arena football team.

* Los Angeles Center Studios--The first large-scale film studio to be built Downtown, the project includes 14 sound stages and created over 1,000 jobs.

* Junipero Serra Building--The historic structure located at Fourth Street and Broadway has been fully restored to accommodate State of California employees.

* Alameda Corridor Project--A single 20-mile, high-capacity, high-speed rail line that has been developed to link the San Pedro Bay ports with key transcontinental rail yards near Downtown.

* Old Bank District--Conversion of bank and office buildings to 230 loft style residential units with 450 parking stalls and ground floor retail.
