LOS ANGELES - September 4, 2008 - The much-anticipated grand opening of Evo, a gleaming new condominium in downtown Los Angeles' South Park neighborhood – and the only new high-rise to grace the downtown skyline between now and 2010 - is set for October and celebrates the completion of South, L.A.'s first new green community.

Angelenos are invited to a public grand opening of Evo on Sunday, October 5, from 12:00-4:00 p.m. Interested homebuyers can RSVP by calling (213) 622-5400, emailing info@evo-south.com or stopping by the Evo Sales Center at 408 W. 11th Street (at Grand).

Consisting of Evo and sister buildings Luma and Elleven, South's completion marks a remarkable five-year achievement to dramatically transform and revitalize this once gritty neighborhood of downtown L.A. Evo is the largest and most luxurious addition to South, the first new residential community in downtown L.A. in more than 25 years; located just steps away from STAPLES Center, LA Live and the Nokia Theatre.

Architecturally stunning, remarkably modern and sustainably superior, Evo's sleek and stylish silhouette rises 24 stories over South Park at the corner of 12th and Grand. Condominiums are priced from the mid-$400,000s to $3 million, with floor plans ranging from 730 to 3,500 square feet.

All-green and ultra-chic, Evo is the current star of National Geographic Channel's LA Hard Hats series, documenting Evo's two-year construction from groundbreaking to completion.

With its glass-wrapped exterior and soaring height, Evo is at the top of its class. For lavish lofty escapes from the bustling city, Evo residents also enjoy a private 6th floor pool terrace and the exclusive "Two-Forty" rooftop lounge high atop the 24th floor, with swank indoor and outdoor seating, a viewing deck with outdoor fireplace and state-of-the-art fitness center.

Evo also stands tall in the center of a bustling, new 24/7 neighborhood complete with sidewalk cafes and restaurants, a gallery, salon and a pedestrian-friendly streetscape with shade trees, landscaping and 24-foot wide sidewalks for walking and window shopping.

In addition to the energy and excitement of LA Live only a couple of blocks away, downstairs, residents will welcome Corkbar, a new wine bar opening in December on the ground floor of Evo; Hygge, a new Danish restaurant opening at the end of the year on the ground floor of Luma; Starbucks, South Park's first, located on the corner of 11th & Grand; PYO Gallery LA in Luma, featuring works by notable Korean and other international artists; Innersection furniture showroom and Salon Eleven.

Evo represents ecopolitan living at its finest and raises the bar of what's possible when developers build smart, build green, and enhance and energize the surrounding neighborhood. Evo is expected to earn a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council; joining Luma and Elleven, California's first LEED Gold certified condos.
