Given it will be adjacent to one of the nation's busiest main railway terminals, the project is basically gonna be a TOD on steroids, and therefore i think it's safe to say the land is EASILY suitable for some high-rises. |
I think anything over 15-20 stories will overwhelm Union Station. Even though the approach to Union Station is not a particularly urban one, its uniquely LA and I would hate to see them plop hi rises on Union Station's front lawn. Put the hi rises in the back behind the tracks.
If I had control, hi rises would be confined to the urban core.....centered around Bunker Hill and Pershing Square. Keep the rest the way it is.
