A few famous buildings in L.A. are going the way of condominium highrises and mixed-use spaces.

The Los Angeles Times building has been sold to Canadian developer Onni Group, which will turn it into retail and residential units. A similar fate awaits the iconic Amoeba Music building in Hollywood, which is going to be turned into a luxury tower with a rooftop pool. While the site of Barney’s Beanery -- the 89-year-old restaurant in West Hollywood -- is being eyed for a new five-story hotel.

Larry speaks with Linda Dishman and Vince Bertoni about how developers can reimagine urban development to help old historical buildings in the city keep pace with the inevitable march of progress.
