What downtown would probably look like from this particular angle.

Now that looks interesting and promising. I look forward to the day when LA has more spires and defined crowns.

Nice silhouette, but I think the placement is wrong. It should be behind the Aon Center.

Well, the Ernst & Young plaza is aligned with the Aon in this photo so i tried to place it between that and the figueroa at wilshire tower which is where it will stand, if anything i should have placed it slightly to the right but it actually is accurate enough just to see what kind of impact the tower will make viewing it from its slender side.

another view where the WG will be mostly obstructed by the figueroa tower but still making an impact nonetheless..

^ That view is backwards.

No, it's right.

Good job.

Mojeda was actually right I had to edit it

Nice work on all the renderings, guys. Top notch! I'm very excited that this building is going up. Not only will it be a nice addition to the LA skyline, but I think it will end up as one of the best looking towers in our state.

Haven't had an update in a while. Here's an instagram pic I found from last Thursday.

I think the spire height is where the roof height should be.

dtlawg · #**1597** Posted **Mar 2, 2014, 6:36 PM**

From a few of the renderings, it looks like the spire will be attached all the way down at the 70th floor (or thereabouts). What do you all think? Will this have an great impact on it's visual affect?

Downtown Los Angeles · #**1598** Posted **Mar 2, 2014, 9:13 PM**

looks like we're ahead of schedule.. looks as if the wilshire grand is topped out already so i guess its going to take 3 years to complete interior work.

Sweet

Is there normally that many palm trees in LA?
