The Museum of Contemporary Art's Grand Avenue building in Los Angeles was designed by Arata Isozaki, his first US project. The museum's trustees arranged the deal with the city's redevelopment agency, and developer Bunker Hill Associates built it at no cost to the museum. Groundbreaking came in 1983, and it was completed by 1986, after missing its original 1984 Olympics target. The infobox lists only the address and coordinates.
