Industriel, after a long wait, finally opens this week at Sixth and Grand in the Financial District
The sign went up in October of 2011, and after almost a year and half since Industriel was first announced that it would replace Carl’s Jr at 6th and Grand in the Financial District, it is now finally nearing the finish line as the new French restaurant prepares for its grand opening tomorrow on Friday.
Industriel replaces Carl's Jr and is slated to open within the next month or two contingent on passing the city's tough inspection process
It’s been exactly one year since Industriel was announced to replace Carl’s Jr at the corner of 6th and Grand on the ground floor of the historic Milano Lofts building. Then last October, the dark metallic “Industriel signs” were installed over the front door (way before opening) giving us a sneak peek at what was to come. Now, the signs have been lit up at night and new black and white posters have gone up over the front windows.

Usually it seems like permanent signs go up after the opening of a new restaurant, but the new restaurant Industriel–located at the corner of 6th and Grand in the Financial District–decided to do things a little differently. Downtown supporter and resident, Joshua Levi, sends in the picture above taken earlier today when the distressed metallic and black signs were being installed by the front entrance. Construction build out has been on and off for the past year since it replaced Carl’s Jr and hopefully this is also a sign that construction will begin in earnest with an opening in 2012.
Here is some more information about Industriel (and renderings) from Long Beach-based FLO Design Studio that is handling the space:
