Located in the northwest portion of the City, the Grand Central Creative Campus (GC3) project is a long-term master plan for the redevelopment of the Grand Central Business District (GCBD).

In 2000, the Walt Disney Company, the Glendale Redevelopment Agency, and the City approved a series of agreements providing for the long-term redevelopment of the site. The project provides for the replacement or rehabilitation of the existing 2.45 million square feet of improvements and the construction of up to an additional 3.5 million square feet of new space, for a total of 5.95 million square feet of new and rehabilitated development in a landscaped, creative campus type of environment. Development is expected over a 25 year period (concluding in 2025).

The GC3 project will position Glendale in the emerging high-tech, entertainment industry and provide up to 7,000 new full time jobs for the region. Jobs created by the project are estimated to produce more than $1 billion dollars in increased payroll.

"Entertainment growth in Glendale/Burbank area is huge and I think that certainly for the Walt Disney Co. we’re looking to Glendale’s Grand Central 3 Centre to be the place for digital new media convergence."

"Glendale, in several fronts, particularly in downtown and the San Fernando Road quarters, identified areas that need revitalization where economic development can occur. And I think they responsibly set up a plan to make that happen."
