A Modern Sparkle for Broadway

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Along vacant Broadway building is getting a sparkly makeover.

Tarina Tarantino, a jewelry designer known as much for her crystal-encrusted, bold-colored accessories as her shocking pink hair, announced plans last week to convert a historic seven-story structure into a new company headquarters. Dubbed the Sparkle Factory, the site will include design and production offices, plus a street-level boutique for the brand that she founded with her husband and business partner Alfonso Campos in 1995.

Tarantino and Campos, who bought the building at 908 S. Broadway in 2007, plan to move in and open the space by late summer.

The pair relocated to Downtown from West Hollywood in 2003, settling in space at the Cooper Building in the Fashion District. They said the move to the Sparkle Factory was spurred in part by the momentum of a series of recent Broadway deals that are expected to lend new commercial life to the street. They pointed in particular to Portland-based Ace Hotel's recently announced plans to open a 180-room boutique establishment in the United Artists Theater building on the same block.
