context_page_description: Grand Central Airport, Glendale, California, also known as Grand Central Air Terminal, was an important facility for the growing Los Angeles suburb of Glendale in the 1920s. It was also a key element in the development of United States aviation. The terminal, located at 1310 Air Way, was built in 1928 and still exists, owned since 1997 by The Walt Disney Company as a part of its Grand Central Creative Campus. Three hangars also remain standing. The location of the single concrete 3,800-foot runway has been preserved, but is now a public street as the runway was dug up and converted into Grand Central Avenue.
context_section_description: Plans were announced for the Grand Central Creative Campus redevelopment of the Grand Central Business Park in September 1999. Additional details were released in March 2000 indicating that it would have 3.6 million square feet in several four to six story buildings for office, production and sound stages and hold 10,000 employees. In 2001, The Walt Disney Co. was planning to expand at the location from a single building to a campus of 6 million square feet. In early May 2004, the Disney Company received design approval for its first phase of this redevelopment. This expected to spearhead the redevelopment of the San Fernando corridor of Glendale. This phase consisted of two 125,000-square-foot office buildings on a company owned 100-acre lot at 1101 and 1133 Flower St. which were to fit in with the Art Deco motif design of the ABC 7 Studio nearby the campus. A Disney employee day care for the campus was given design approval in July 2008. Disney's Pixar sequel unit, Circle 7 Animation, was started in a converted warehouse on Circle 7 Drive in 2004 only to be closed in 2006.
  The campus' second phase began construction in September 2010 on a 338,000-square-foot six-story building with a 5-story wing and a parking structure. 1,200 employees were expected to be working in the new building. In mid-November 2018, the Disney Stores USA headquarters moved out of the Royal Laundry Complex to G3C.
  Disney units on the campus are:
  Circle 7 Animation (2004-2006)
  Disney Television Animation
  DisneyToon Studio (1990-2018)
  Marvel Animation, 623 Circle Seven Drive
  The Disney Children's Center, Inc.
  Walt Disney Imagineering (1961–present)
  Disney Store headquarters
  Mickey's of Glendale, Imagineering exclusive store
  The ABC 7 Studios is adjacent to the campus but not a part of it.
