Been on this forum way too long to get excited on initial renderings anymore. Until they break ground, it's just another Times-Mirror Square project. And if it becomes reality, there's a good chance they make Onni go through the ringer and end up cutting floors, reducing units and adding more parking spaces due to city pressure.
Still, it's great timing with the D line. Frank Gehry thought Wilshire could become LA's linear downtown and if the D line spurs more developments like this, Gehry's prediction might prove to be prescient, but also prove as a successful example of high density developments around transit nodes.
