Nice shots, Friday. Here's some of the South Park area from yesterday.


Evo

13 floors up so far, 10 to go.



Cladding on the east side (Grand Ave. side)




Luma

Putting the finishing touches on. Should be done by the end of June. When move ins start, I'll move this one to "completed" on the front page.





The sidewalks are open, but there's still quite a bit of ground level work to finish.




Hanover Tower

The roof deck has been poured, so no more floors. The only thing left is the "cap" that I assume will hold some mechanical equipment. From Olympic:



Render view down Fig (with LA Live in the foreground)



See the rebar poking up above the roof deck? That's as high as the "cap" will go. You can kind of see they've bent it down.




LA Live

Lots of progress here. First the Nokia Theater. All these shots are from various angles along Chick Hearn Ct.







The ESPN Building, from Chick Hearn Ct. This is the side that will face the Nokia Plaza.



The Club Nokia building from Olympic (ESPN in the background).



And finally, the site of the future Ritz Carlton/Marriot hotel. It's a difficult area to photograph, but you can see they're digging further down on the right hand side, as ThreeHundred mentioned earlier last week.




717 Flower

Lots of rebar. It's hard to tell, but the core is the mass of rebar on the left side. I think it'll be a few weeks - or even a month - before we see floor plates above ground, but they are moving at a decent pace.




Market Lofts

Work continues on the Ralph's and the retail spaces, with the crane for 717 Flower in the background.




LAPD Headquarters

I wonder when they're going to install a tower crane?




DORKS!!!!!
(I just know she's thinking: "aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?")
