Go for it!

Is this one suppost to go directly across from the 1100 Whilshire tower, or next to what used to be the TWA building, (the white 12 story building)

Fern~Fern* · September 24th, 2007, 04:59 AM

...next two the old run down TWA mid-rise.

jchernin · September 24th, 2007, 05:00 AM

What's the projected timetable ? Based on a 2009 completion date, they'd better get a move on.

You know, I really should've put an "N/A" under "Completion". No timeline has been set for this project. It's still in the works.

Reconfigured 1111 Wilshire Project Listed for Sale

By Stephen Friday
September 5, 2008

Expected as a follow up to its 201-unit GLO project, developer Holland Partners wowed City West residents in 2006 with plans to erect a 52-story residential/boutique hotel tower on the opposite corner of Wilshire and Bixel.

Now, like the visions of most builders in a sagging economy, ambitions have been scaled back to a more attainable level — at least, they hope, in the eyes of a new taker.

New information released by real estate company Moran & Company listing the proposed development — known simply as 1111 Wilshire — for sale, indicates the hotel component has been dropped altogether, leaving room for 397 residential units and 6,500 square-feet of commercial space over two downgraded structures.

The smaller of the two, a six-story mid-rise facing Wilshire Boulevard, would contain 132 apartment units and all of the retail.

A 261-unit, 30-story tower with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a seven-level parking podium would fill in the rest of the project site, currently a surface parking lot.

Entitlements for all of this are still being sought, and Holland Partners is looking to unload the responsibility, as its attention seems to be diverted to another project just around the corner.

David L. Gray Architects and Nadel Architects are sharing design credit, and according to Moran & Company, a completion date of summer 2010 is now estimated.

Good thing October 5th, 2007 still exists, to show what might have been.

milquetoast · September 6th, 2008, 05:00 AM

Nice. Don't build it.

Westsidelife · September 6th, 2008, 11:03 AM

Strangely, I'm okay with the design change. To be honest, the older design -- though impressive in its size and scale -- did absolutely nothing for me. In fact, I found it to be quite cheap looking. There is something solid about this new vision.

Kwame · September 6th, 2008, 12:09 PM

Very nice. Hope it gets approval.

milquetoast · September 6th, 2008, 01:49 PM

Meh... Feh... I guess it's ok, kinda like if Hanover and Evo had a baby

pittsteelers247 · September 6th, 2008, 08:46 PM

Why does it look really short whereas the old version looked really tall??

***soup or man*** · September 6th, 2008, 11:05 PM

^ Because the original was 52 stories and this is 30.

Ask a silly question...

pittsteelers247 · September 7th, 2008, 12:34 AM

^ Haha never really read it hard enough I guess
