A rendering of what the 20-story office tower, seen toward the center and tinted blue, could look like from above. The tower is shown just north of the Irvine Spectrum Center, in the foreground with the red roof. The 405 freeway is on the left.

I'm all for any type of development/densification in the OC, so I guess I like this project. Oh btw...I think that is the biggest stretch of the word "icon" that I have ever seen!

California is suffering from one of the biggest droughts in history and yet there are acres and acres of perfectly green grass surrounding these Orange Co. office developments, even in the middle of summer. If water was priced to reflect its scarcity, like any other good or service is priced, you wouldn't see it wasted like this.

They use sprinklers often in the middle of the day in my apartment complex and at UCI Irvine. I don't understand how they get away with it.

Politics.

For every thousand LA residents trying their hardest to take shorter showers or incorporate conservative front yard designs, there's one OC office that consumes more water than the whole lot of them just to feed their private lawns.

Headed back to LA this Monday and took this on my stopover at the Irvine Spectrum (from my weekend hiking in San Diego County).

I'm sharing this one from 2 weeks ago from the top of the parking structure.
