park fifth, park fifth, PARK FIFTH!!!
:banana:

Hopefully we see some taller buildings go up this year. Hardly anything we've seen so far is hardly making a change in the skyline.

Pff. Downtown is doing the right thing: Converting all of it's old and unused buildings into lofts and condos THEN focus on ground up buildings. It would be a waste if it was the other way around.

Come on Park Fifth!! Come on LA Central! Fill up those damn, hideous deadzone parking lots!!!

If my rusty memory serves me right. Weren't the Olympic and Cityhouse towers supposed to break ground in late 2007 or early 2008? The earlier the better!

^^
As much as I want to see taller ground up buildings built as soon as possible, I have to agree with "300" on this. Our historic core has so many beautiful early 20th century buildings that need to be restored to its former glory. And to create the type of 24 hour downtown energy we wish to have, we must fill up those old and unused buildings first. Once a critical mass of residents are secured, we'll see not only more tall buildings but more amenities, retail to complement the residential component. . The fact is our downtown must be sustainable and practical and not just glittery eye candy like Dubai.

Also, I would like to see more unused office space converted to residential space, since office space would become a premium and limited resource in downtown; once that happens we'll hopefully see the "Maguires" of the world all come out of hiding and start a 2nd wave of office-oriented skyscraper construction that could keep this boom going well past 2020.

Agree with 300 and futuretrance. Its exactly what WE need. we dont need to compare to other cities and see what they are doing. We have a great core that will be special with these rehabs, new stores and a little bit of TLC from the city (Sidewalk and street repares, new landscaping, street furniture and lights.

Update: Park Fifth is 78 Stories, not 71!, also 1027 Wilshrie is in plan check, which is very good news!

I'm shock there's no strip malls Downtown? One won't hurt, right??

Yes one would hurt, it's like saying burning your finger once won't hurt. Who wants to take the chance of downtowners getting hooked on them?

Valet parking? Strip malls? What's wrong with you Ferney?

I think Ferney is "special."

:lol:

Park fifth tower one, 78 storys, do we have a location, perhaps 5th street and...???

5th and Olive, the only empty lot around pershing Square, next to the 417 Metro Lofts.

The Glass Tower is set to break ground this month. They better not disappoint...

About time this puppy gets off the ground!!!There were talks it was on hold, than talks it was canceled, and finally talks it was about to be revived. All these rumors we heard through the grapevine led to frustration, so its good to hear its no longer just talk and we can finally see some action now.

I actually prefer the old design much better..but maybe the new design will look alot better in person? From my experience, I've found that to be the case, since what u see in renders do not always tell the whole story. No matter what another deadzone parking lot bites the dust! :banana:

Hey don't hate for me thinking outside the box... Remember we need to cater to all Angelinos, not just a hand full!!!

Dear Trance,

You are on my Fav's L.A. Forumer List for quite a while. Please don't change the status with comments like these. I'm sure you drive as well as some of these other turkeys here. So there's no need to get rid of all city parking lots. Some is definitely fine and dandy. But some need to become huge multi level parking garages example (The Grove). We don't want to become another NY or Frisco where parking is anightmare. So let's all work together on this important issue.

Many thanks in advanced:
< Ferney>

Dear Ferney,

Point taken! Haha..I'm actually not against parking lots per se. Au contraire!! You misunderstood me, i'm really just against parking lots where it would kill the pedestrian vibe, flow of energy(call it 'Chi' or whatever feng shui enthusiasts call it) that is often bisected by some of these hideous parking lots near street-facing retail/restaurant corridors. It really breaks up and obliterates the linear flow of activity on a street that would normally be vibrant with street life. That's why mixed-use/street-oriented retail attracts people to abandon their cars and walk on streets.

I agree with you that we shouldn't get rid of all parking lots and turn into another San Francisco. Anyone who has driven in San Fran knows it is notoriously difficult to navigate in a car to find parking. I agree with you also about building more 'multi-level' parking structures akin to the ones you see at the 'Grove'. Those parking structures if done right serves a purpose, especially in auto-oriented retail corridors. Once LA Live is completed, they should try to replicate the success of Old Pasadena's multi-level parking structures which offer 90 mins. of free parking to encourage more visitors.

But we don't really need any more GINORMOUS, football field sized, ground-level parking lots anymore (some as long as 4 football fields long) which totally sucks the life dry off of streets. I'm perfectly fine with multi-level parking structures.

Sincerely yours,
Future_trance011

^^ Good... Now I will be able to sleep better tonight!

Anothe point is that there is ways to simulate parking structutes. They dont have to be something like a rectangle with 4 rows of end to end windows. There are a couple of good car garages than can be deceived as office buildings, that is a key strategy when bargaining with the asthethics of a neighborhood.

^^ Good... Now I will be able to sleep better tonight!

Good to know! phewww *wipes sweat from fivehead* oops did I say fivehead? My head isn't that big, I mean forehead..hahaha..I'd feel guilty being responsible for giving you insomnia..insomnia + cranky, sleepless Ferney= The Apocalypse..hahaha j/k :cheers:

I'm guilt-free now!! woohooo! party on Dude!!!:dance:

^^ Good to know I can still count on you. So yes party on!!!!!

FromLA: Do you have a pix of such parking structure?

That's exactly what I meant by, "parking structures if done right". They can be disguised to look like office buildings or simply just put ground floor level retail, where normally a blank wall would be. That way the structure would not stick out like a sore thumb and is absorbed into the fabric of the surrounding neighborhood, which in turn would add more asthetical value and also encourage vibrancy to naturally develop on the street.

Has anyone been to Downtown Long Beach lately? They have some pretty nice parking garages there. The one across from the aquarium is decorated to match the architecture of the aquarium. It matches right in. I hope they do more of those in Downtown LA, or underground structures.

Hey nice double take up there ^^

5th and Olive, the only empty lot around pershing Square, next to the 417 Metro Lofts.

Wow a 700+ footer one block from the US bank tower.

updated the first post with some Wilshire Projects. please correct me and help me add some more from Long Beach and around the metro.

talking about parking garages...i'm designing a 4-5 story parking garage surrounding 5 story theater complex. :D i'll be done in 2 weeks (final presentation due)

are you desingning it for fun or for something else?

Wow a 700+ footer one block from the US bank tower.

Well there is City Nat. Plaza, Gas Company, BoA, and Cal Plaza 2.

are you desingning it for fun or for something else?

school project - I'm studying architecture, remember?

^^ Good to know I can still count on you. So yes party on!!!!!

FromLA: Do you have a pix of such parking structure?

AON's parking garage is a prime example of what FromLA is talking about. For years, I thought it was a modest 6 or 7 story office building. But after really looking at it, it's a parking garage.

FromLA: I think TICONLA ment a new 700 foot tall building.

^^ Gotcha, so 1100 Wilshire would qualify as well?

Yes it does.

^^ Gotcha, so 1100 Wilshire would qualify as well?

No because you know that big brown thing that 1100 Wilshire sits on is a parking garage. It doesn't try to hide it. Whereas AON's parking garage does a very good job of hiding what it really is.

1100 Wilshire's brown turd is an eyesore. I wish they could have done.... something anything to dress it up or have it match the actual tower.

They could always add billboards to it, or neon lights.

So completely ugly.

updated with the mill street lofts. according to a LA Times article this morning, the building will open in 2010.

It will have a neighbor when that 51 story condo goes up next door.

updated again. added the Hollywood tower at the Spaghetti Factory, altered hte floor heights for park fifth.

Mill street lofts is U/C???? Since when ? Thats awsome! Does anyone have a pic of the construction on site?

Should't the new courthouse start construction this year?They are already in the process of tearingdown the old one.

Maybe not this year considering all the site prep to follow, but surely in the not to distant future.

What about mill street lofts?

hello345, im looking for confirmation that they are, hence the Question mark next to it, but from the way the article was written in the LA Times, i kind of inferred that it was. i very well may be wrong though.

It will have a neighbor when that 51 story condo goes up next door.

Which Building is that? DO you have a picture?

Which Building is that? DO you have a picture?

No i don't, but there is one that i saw on new projects thread, its called 1037 wilshire. 48 floors,(its going up on the lot next to the city of hope building, the 16 story brick building on Bixel.)

actually its 1027 Wilshire and 51 stories! at first it was thought that it was 48 stories but a story in the Times had a quote about it being 51, so well go with that! :)

Any news on LA Central(formerly Figueroa Central)? I thought it was supposed to break ground pretty soon. I haven't heard any news about it for quite awhile. What's keeping the Moinan Group from building that son of a biscuit already!? Maybe after the NBA playoffs? IMO, this project will be a very crucial component to the success of LA Live and also important if Figueora is to become more pedstrian friendly. It must be built ASAP!!!:)

i think its suppose to break ground in May or June, my guess is after the Lakers are done, hopefully Late June! There was a meeting recently about South Park Projects and i think it was announced that they would break ground soon!

:rock: :rock:

According to the Downtown New, the hotel will break ground on April 30 which is Monday. We'll find out soon enough...

At this very moment last year, there were rumors that LA Central was going to break ground right after the playoffs, and obviously it did not happen. Yet I think the stakes are preety high that it will break ground in the following 90 days.
Reguarding the hotel, HELL YEAH!:banana:

Those are excellent news for my ears.... YAY!!!!

On another note FromLA, can you please remove your LA2016..... It give's me a headache just reading it...

Thanks ever so much for pointing that out!

club view is 22 floors

http://www.1200clubview.com/

sorry to nit pick, but adding floors is worth it, right?

these puppies START at 5 million. Anyone buy one yet? Yeesh!

thanks, made the correction, also removed Circa.

But Circa's sign is still out front.

Update, Added 42 story Century project and 23 story Carlyle.

Thanks LASF, i like a man on top of things, i always look forward to your updates.!!

I had a double take moment.... good job LASF*

Just read in the Downtown News, 2 new residential tower proposals,

A 40 story tower at 1247 W.7th street, near Macarthur park, and a 32 story tower at 751 Spring st. both in the planning/approval stages. No renderings as of yet, but it would be great to see a tower "in" the historic district.

Any word on the Maguire tower ?

Any word on the Maguire tower ?

From DTLA News:

Maguire Properties, which last month completed the acquisition of the 550 S. Hope St. and Two California Plaza buildings, is moving forward on plans for a new 50-story office tower in the Financial District. Peggy Moretti of Maguire Properties said construction on the project at Seventh and Figueroa streets overlooking the Harbor Freeway would not start until leases have been signed for 40% to 50% of the office space, but that the company is speaking with a number of potential tenants. She estimated that occupancy could occur in about 36 months. Pasadena-based architect Richard Keating of the firm Keating/Khang is working on the project, which is estimated to be 1 million square feet. It would be the first new office tower in more than 15 years. Maguire Properties, which owns eight Downtown office high-rises, is headed by longtime Downtown player Robert F. Maguire.

Okay, thanks!

Okay, thanks!

Ain't no big thang :)

Ain't no big thang :)


... can I get a Coors now :banana:

I just polished off a Corona.

*smacks lips*

I know this is off topic but does anyone ever hang out around FIDM.......best looking girls in town...can you imagine how much better it is going to be when the FIDM tower is open.

Added the Meurelo "Southpark Towers", 1150 Grand at 43 stories and 335 W 11th at an unknown height. Moved Luma to Completed as well. Can Someone add the Long Beach Towers under construction or breaking ground this year? thanks

^^ LASF... Didn't Moruelos announced that they will be breaking ground for 3 towers within 6 months apart and one of which will be 60 floors?

"Southpark Towers will be a two building complex located on most of a city block between Olive Street and Grand Avenue and 11th and 12th Streets in the Southpark section of downtown Los Angeles. The first building of the complex, with the address of 1150 Grand Avenue, will be the larger of the two buildings and will contain three hundred and seventy four high rise residential units in a forty three story high rise tower. A seven story parking garage will be constructed adjacent to the building, with the top floor of the garage dedicated to tenant amenities such as a swimming pool, a tenant health club, common meeting rooms, concierge service and a common media center. The ground floor of this building will contain approximately 30,000 square feet of retail space. While each of the units will be a separate condominium unit and are being constructed to a high for-sale standard of quality, our business plan calls for them to be initially leased as rental apartment units. 1150 Grand Avenue is in the schematic design stages in advance of receiving a building permit. The second building of the complex, with the address of 336 W. 11th Street is in the conceptual design phase. We anticipate receiving our excavation permit in the third quarter of 2007 and commencing excavation work in the fourth quarter of 2007. Kajima Construction has been selected as the general contractor for this project."

62 stories, in fact.

Yup. :yes:

Gotta love Meruelo. He has a lot planned for Downtown. There's the 35 story 717 Ninth project, South Park Towers (one tower at 43 stories), Olive Street Towers (three towers w/one of them being 62 stories), and another project called the Ullman Towers. Also, I remember reading way back that Meruelo is planning a 34 story tower adjacent to Jardin, right across from the Staples Center.

Lots to look forward to.

West... do you renderings of the 62 floor tower?

No. That proposal is most likely still in the design phase.

a little update.

could you please update this?

^ he updated it 2 hrs before your post!!

enough with the silly questions!!!!

I think the NOHO Tower is done actually. But I am just judging from what I've seen from the North Hollywood Metro station.

i dont think its quite done, when they allow move ins ill move it to completed.

Robert, its as updated as i can get it. if there are towers missing (which i know for a fact there are, especially in Long Beach) please fill me in guys so it can be as close to perfect as possible.

could you please update this?

Seriously can you read??? The update clearly says 9/7/07.

LA Central heights have been extended to 40 and 54 stories respectively othewise, everything seems accurate, btw did know Mills lofts was already u/c

im not sure about Mills. i thought i heard it was a while back but i dont know. thanks for the update on LA Central, totally forgot to change it.

Robert, its as updated as i can get it. if there are towers missing (which i know for a fact there are, especially in Long Beach) please fill me in guys so it can be as close to perfect as possible.

Its done and individual lights can be seen from the Hollywood freeway. Just passed it an hour ago. Unless workers are working on random units well after union hours, this can be generally considered done. Took damn long enough for a 14 story job.

The Pinnacle in Burbank.

14 stories.

U/C

Thanks.

I've tried to map out some of the areas where buildings are going up. The link is here.

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100955506182745485749.00043bc8062e6a2f956b5&ll=34.044734,-118.262367&spn=0.002151,0.005021&t=k&z=18&om=1

If there are any problems tell me so I can fix them.

You missed Grand Avenue. Well, you got the park, but missed the two blocks to the East and the one block to the South of Disney Hall.

Between Grand and Hill, between First and Second.

Between Grand and Flower South of Second.

Does it include the whole of those blocks where the park is? Basically, will that project tear down those buildings?
