Real Estate and Construction Review 2007 Top Projects in Southern California featuring The Cove, GMP-LA’s High-Rise Residential Project in Marina del Rey as one of the top projects of the year.

"The new Union Station Village in downtown Los Angeles will not only be close to commuter trains, it will be part of the iconic depot. The $35 million apartment project is being built in a parking lot previously used for terminal buses and taxis, and its residents will be steps from where regional public transportation entities such as Amtrak (train), MTA (bus), DASH (bus) and Metrolink (light rail) all converge." "The buildings were designed to enhance Union Station, but not take away or detract from the historic structure," Getman said. "It remains the icon on the site."

One characteristic GMP brings to all their projects is a unique, non-traditional look. The design never resembles anything one’s already seen. "We never approach a project with a preconceived notion; each one is different," remarks Donald Getman. "We look at each project for its own sake and take it one step further."
