Threehundred, that isn't so bad, actually; but then again, I can see why residents probably would have whined about it. It would've been an eyesore; which is why I think they should've build up the surround Residential blocks.

It's the top of the building, and the upper floors that makes the building look horrible. Along with some parts of the facade if it were to go up today it would need some major reworking. The top parts of the building sort of reminds me of the Freedom Tower when it's top floors were left to be a standing skeleton.

Looks like a crappier version of Baiyoke II in Bangkok.

The top reminds me of a boxing ring, maybe they could use it for special boxing/fights.

i actually adore the style. very art deco. i also dig the intended location, it doesn't take away from library tower's dominance in true downtown. sad it didn't happen.

It would've been away from the main LA skyline, and would be like Hong Kong's two supertalls away from each other.

I really like this design. Beats the heck out of the US Bank Tower, which just screams "late 1980's!"

Separated at birth...









Or neither...we should have known Trump was crazy, even back then.

A Trump Tower in L.A.? Thankfully, that was only part of "Never Built Los Angeles"




Julia Ingalls By Julia Ingalls
Feb 15, '17


Quote:
In LA, Trump bragged he was going to spend a billion dollars on what he claimed would become the world’s tallest building. His architect Bill Fain delivered a gilded 125-storey office tower etched in a diamond-patterned exoskeleton...David Martin also devised a skyscraper: ‘When I told Ivana [Trump] the basis of the idea was to put two diamonds together, she lit up,’ Martin said. ‘I think they were divorced a week later.’ — The Guardian

Quote:
Whether you've been following the tumultuous life of proposed architecture projects in Los Angeles or not (a stretch of Grand Avenue, for example, has been undergoing elaborate proposals designed in part by Frank Gehry for almost forty years) "Never Built Los Angeles," a book by architectural critics at large Sam Lubell and Greg Goldin, shows us via The Guardian the almost-reality of a Los Angeles-based Trump Tower designed by Johnson Fain back in 1989.
