The latest 2020 World Almanac didn't even have them on the list of L.A. tall buildings above 500', even though buildings under construction are supposed to be listed. Even the city diagrams link on skyscrapers page doesn't give a height, although it does say 46 floors. Seems like the want to keep the final height a secret. Won't be a secret much longer. At 600' they would be as tall as the famous cylindrical Marina City towers in Chicago, which were one of the early pioneers of a concrete core structure back in the mid 1960s.
