The Yard Makes its Debut at DTLA’s California Plaza

California Plaza's sunken plaza, previously known as Watercourt, has been transformed into "The Yard" through a renovation project led by CIM Group, Omni Hotels, and Rising Realty Partners, replacing the original pond with grass, potted plants, trees, and seating areas, while still serving as a venue for the Grand Performances outdoor concert series.

After a two-year wait, California Plaza’s Watercourt is back with a new name – but not its namesake element.

The sunken plaza, located between the two office towers of the California Plaza complex, has been rebranded as “The Yard,” following a multi-million dollar makeover by CIM Group, Omni Hotels, and Rising Realty Partners. The Gensler-designed project removed a 40-foot-wide pond that was originally the centerpiece of the plaza, replacing it with grass potted plants, trees, and new seating areas.

The revamped space, though light on water, will once again play host to Grand Performances, the popular free outdoor concert series, which kicked off its 35th season last week. The removal of the pond will allow attendees to sit closer to the performers, who will take the stage each weekend through the end of September. This season will include a mix of styles, including jazz, hip-hop, flamenco, funk, and soul.
