"The 11-story, Art Deco property on Spring Street was initially slated for a Curtis Stone restaurant before that project fell through; in 2022 the José Andrés Group announced plans for a rooftop restaurant there but those plans have been scrapped after UCLA acquired the building. José Andrés Group confirmed it will not pursue the planned openings within the Trust Building, and UCLA says it will initially use the 334,000-square-foot building to house programs for UCLA Extension while remaining open to future collaborations." - Cathy Chaplin
"I read that José Andrés will be opening a rooftop restaurant atop the historic Trust Building in Downtown LA sometime in 2023, moving into the rooftop space at 433 South Spring Street that had been intended for Curtis and Luke Stone. Stone says he and his brother decided about a month and a half ago not to go ahead with their plan after delaying the project due to COVID; they had envisioned the rooftop—a space in the 1928-constructed Trust Building—as an expansive restaurant, bar, and event venue, with an additional ground-floor space to be either a restaurant or market run by his team, but ultimately questioned whether that concept was right for the area amid industry upheaval." - Eater
"Built in 1928 and executed in an Art Deco style, this landmark has been renovated to include refreshed retail and office spaces and is promoted by partners as one of Downtown LA’s premier historic buildings; its preserved architectural character is informing plans for new tenants, including a large restaurant that will follow the building’s Art Deco template." - Farley Elliott
