hot dog! i love this city!

That tower will be next to The Piero Apartments and will be near 1100 Wilshire.

Who's the developer, and does this building have a website??

This was the website where the info and renderings were found:

:applause::applause::applause::applause::applause:

yes more high rise


:runaway:

Its a pretty awesome building and it will add density. Is this residential or commercial though?

Well you can tell that it's at least partially residential because of the roof-top pool at the building's base.

this really is a sexy building

Also, the residential units will probably be aimed towards high-end buyers, many of which would likely be executives given the fact that the Financial District is just up the street.

Oh City Of Angels, I Love You!

That's what I call architecture!

Right now on that lot I believe is a low-rise (I think two story) office building or maybe a tumbledown old motel (that might be on 7th street, I might be confusing it). Either way, nothing of any architectural significance will be lost by building this, thankfully.

Yes! High rises moving across the 110 Freeway into City West! Yahoo!

Only three blocks from the Red Line stop.

Build it! Yes!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

The tower is really nice, I like how the second picture accentuates the metallic sleekness, and I also love the silver metallic 4 story front building. How slim is this thing gonna be? If that back structure is realy a swimming pool, then it will be a thing building, but that might be nice considering it's height.

absofuckinglutely beautiful!!! when can I move in???? oh...in the first picture, are the brown and tan buildings in the background new? I don't think I've seen those before

You can use the DTLA interactive map to locate buildings:

Oops, I just realized that you were referring to the first photo not the second.

So there going to be across the street from 1100 Wilshire? NICE, thats gonna be a pretty good spot in the skyline.

Beautiful!

Botox have you not learn that the new generation of Angelinos don't drive nor need parking. Geez Botox after all these years here I would of tought you would of got it by now........... Remember the Hyundai goes back to Carmax!!!!!!!

Where's the nearest Red Line station for this building?
For 'Botox
If there are 402 unit and 875 parking spaces that is 2 parking spaces per unit, and a little visitor parking. Or maybe the more expensive unit get 3 parking spaces.

holy cow... maybe i should start burning flags and eating babies born from stem-cells....
hyundai goes back to carmax if the silver line comes to botox


thank you from la, were did you get that info from?

nearest redline is 7th and Metro. Entrance at 7th and Fig. 6 min walk from 1100 wilshire.

Where's the ground-floor retail?

THIS TOWER LOOKS SO MODERN WILL FIT NICELY INTO THE L.A skyline when ur looking at it from hollywood hills

I had some spare time so I made this rendering of the LA skyline with 1027 Wilshire. I even matched the tones of the sky and mountains. Keep in mind that the view from this angle would be a little different as we would be viewing the side of the tower.

Thats a awesome rendering thanks.

what ever happened to this project?..oh and where is the Olympic Thread? I can't find it

Still proposed obviously. It takes months and months and months for a building to be approved.

There's a hand full of proposals that went MIA!!!!

this tower is defenatly getting built

and how do you know that? not saying i would not like to see the glamerous building. but can you quote or link somthing to back it up?

hu? can you? :poke:

Glamorous? Anyways, I wouldn't have high hopes for this one. We just happened to come across this one. There wasn't any formal announcement. And I don't recall this ever beeing the DCID list of projects.

you say tomato...

but i think the lot this tower will sit on is being dug up right now. are they putting something up?

???????????????? Keep fingers crossed.

A "BIG" parking structure.....:banana:

A "BIG" FREE parking structure..... :banana:

Oh, the dead die hard.......

I'm not liking the parking podium, but I love the tower as a whole. It'll look great.

I don't like that parking podium either....is this gonna be another fortress? I really hope retail is incorporated into this project...actually, it should be incorporated into every new project built.

Cool shiny building, we need more!

Thanks for the link, the first rendering in Glendale is where the parking structure is for my building right now.

Thats not glendale, its city west in downtown LA.

ha ha ha... oh my

I know downtown Glendale from downtown LA after 32 years here. Check the other properties below the DTLA one.

Looks amazing, hope it gets built but I doubt it seriously. The market has peaked and there is just too much new residential to absorb in DTLA, either recently completed or being built . Developers (and banks) are taking a breath at the moment.

no dubiaous construction chaos here!

but i do wish this one end goes up. it would be nice crowning moment for the resent boom

^^ LA needs to take a breather in 2015 before the LA Olympics only. Right now is the time to build...build...build in Downtown....

you know...as much as I want L.A. to continue building, I would like it to slow down a little bit...maybe prices will go down somewhat? when i move back, I really wish I could afford to live in downtown - not downtown "adjacent" like realtors say...you know, like "Pacoima, it's close to downtown"- :lol: a realtor would say that

Aw man ArchiTennis, you had to say that. No kidding construction would slow down and prices with it. :lol: Anyways, is this project dead? It used to be one of my favorites.

It's going to give a nice skyline outisde DLA next to 1100 W. How long do you think 'till it's finished?

I notice the frontage of the lower levels along Wilshire Blvd. is set back farther than the building directly to the west (which is 1055 Wilshire, I think -- a building that looks like it's not going to disappear anytime soon). Perhaps the extra pedestrian space is a good thing. But I hope there is some sort of plan for a new, consistent "street wall", as additional development occurs in this area. I hope this is not simply an isolated "nature bandaid" to appease possible opponents. Generally, I don't like the erratic setbacks we have throughout the city, because they make the city look unplanned.

Is this still going through??? One more orgasmic addition to an already orgasmic city

that nice ,ok

I like it too, wow! enrichment of LA's skyline for sure

Can't wait to see it standing tall out there

LA 's downtown skyline is so sexy

Lilyy and Charlotte. I sense....... sarcasm, and maybe a hint of snarkyness..

^^you are kidding us huh? :ohno:

your senses are malfunctioning for sure. I sense .... LOVE and a true sense of appreciation for a city that is considered ugly to many around this globe.

Ask anybody here in Europe and they will say that San Francisco is beautiful while LA is ugly. I see it quite differently and what I say, is pure and right from my heart.

LA is beautiful.

Well, you're quite simply hanging around the wrong Europeans- there, I said it!

Who says that? This sounds like some really ignorant and underexposed "Europeans".

Is this project still gonna happen? It's still a parking lot.

^ Nope. Sorry folks, this one was canceled a while back.

Who says that? This sounds like some really ignorant and underexposed "Europeans".


Yes, I mean it and that is exactly my problem explaining to them that they are all so wrong. But believe me, it is exactly as it is here. I live in Europe for 16 years now, have been speaking and met so many ever since and each time I ask them the question which city they like a lot, the answer always lead: San Francisco!!! it amazes me, cause off course SF is beautifully located by the Bay, but hello, what about LA? it has beautiful hills, miles and miles of beaches and a big beautiful blue Ocean, a skyline that is surely worth a visit and spend a whole day exploring the downtown and the many museaums, not mentioning the parks, the ranches and the history of the city itself. I don't get it and that is why I told you guys what I hear.

Yes, that makes those Europeans the " wrong" ones and I suppose that makes all of them being wrong too! sad huh?

I love LA, San Francisco is beautiful but somehow, it always makes me get bored and depressed and let's be honest, not everything that is European or comes from Europe or looks like Europe is considered fun and beautiful, otherwise Europeans won't make such an effort to make their cities look like USA or Canada. Look at Paris, London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Milan, Warsaw, Praque, all somehow busy developping their cities and try to make it all look like LA or NYC, even Moscow is doing it and guess what, none will ever achieve that! never, ever

Hmmm, sad.

I have spent a lot of time speaking with Europeans and they almost always prefer SF to LA. The main exceptions are the beach and art freaks (2 very disparate groups).

But the part of LA they like best is Solvang, so there is some clue as to what the driver here is. SF has enormous surface charm (scenery, architecture). It is also a complex and interesting city, but most visitors aren't going to get that far; what counts for a visitor is rather narrow and rather shallow: Riverwalk in San Antonio; the Eiffel Tower; the Strip in LV. All very attractive but with little to do with the city.

In any event, I wouldn't worry about SF; just make LA better and more livable.

I am interested in the comment that European cities are trying to Americanize. Certainly everywhere in the world is attmepting to Americanize as quickly as possible (usually while denying it vigorously) but what ways did you have in mind?

interesting topic guys but in the wrong thread. i will close this one but feel free to start a thread in the main LA forum.
