My favorite proposal. If this happens I can die a happy man.

Gram3000 · #**7762** Posted **Apr 19, 2013, 5:30 PM**

^^LOL!! My favorite proposal too! @ 490' this would be the tallest ground-up residential in not only DT but all of LA COUNTY! it really is a nice hefty structure with a contemporary design.

My TOP Wishlist OF past proposals:

PARK TOWER & PARK 5TH
METROPOLIS
LA CENTRAL
ZEN
FIDM

IF we can get all of those revived in some shape or form then there will be no doubt that DTLA has arrived!

Oh please yes. Please dear lord yes.

RuFFy · #**7765** Posted **Apr 19, 2013, 6:43 PM**

Yea, I'm pretty confident that this boom is a greater one than the one a few years back. I'd like to see this proposal take off too.

Quixote · #**7766** Posted **Apr 19, 2013, 9:29 PM**

Assuming that's the same design and they didn't scale down their plans.

That's what happened to 8th and Grand, my former "favorite."

Just-In-Cali · #**7767** Posted **Apr 19, 2013, 10:26 PM**

Single most desired residential project in the city that I want. Gawd...ill name my firstborn after the designer if this is built as rendered.

Oh, you.

But I gotta say, props for the attention to detail.

WonderlandPark · #**7772** Posted **Apr 19, 2013, 11:43 PM**

I was hoping for a few heart attack moments...

(they better NOT be soil testing for a wood frame over concrete first floor, this is one of the ones I most want to see rise, assuming the design can be retained)

No, he's real. I heard he hangs out with Al Coholic, Oliver Klozoff, and Jacques Strap.

Illithid Dude · #**7774** Posted **Apr 20, 2013, 12:04 AM**

The only thing that worries me is that Kanner Architects, the people who designed the original tower, is now defunct.

blackcat23 · #**7775** Posted **Apr 20, 2013, 12:14 AM**

WonderlandPark had me scared until I read who the "owner," is. Well played, sir.

Just a few hundred feet away, 8th and Hope:

Is it just me, or does this building make City West look a lot better?

We need 10 more of these.

Gram3000 · #**7777** Posted **Apr 20, 2013, 6:40 PM**

Agreed, even though I would say to myself its just pretty in that lighting, but it actually does inject some kind of vibrancy into the otherwise banality of its surroundings! I guess not all lowrises are of the devil! Lol
