I think it's cool all things considered. Everything doesn't have to be an eye catcher. But I do think the pedestrian feel of the building will be better than just looking at the building as a whole...if that makes sense.

Great minds think alike, a9l8e7n. I was in the area yesterday and grabbed this one of 888 S. Hope. It's a really nice looking building.

I like it a lot as well. Really clean lines and good height as well.

Agreed. There's no podium and it maximizes the site's space, having the same floor area from top to bottom. This is what we need more of.

Yeah, but the parking garage that's part of the same project is pretty egregious.

It's actually shocking to think of the overall condition of dt not too many yrs ago.....certainly over 10 to 20 years ago. Improvements have been even harder to come by based on too many ppl being overly permissive about.....much too tolerant of.....just how broken down things were & had become. that includes ppl in the city who haven't done anything to things like the burned out corner of 4th & broadway.

this video was taken by a tourist from germany, who apparently is in LA to attend the emmy awards. It shows scenes that either didn't exist or would have been dilapidated....or out of service.....or a 1970s disaster like the former macys plaza.....not too long ago.

the motto of dtla should be images of its rundown or non existent past with the words "never again".

The original rendering shows a much more attractive parking structure.

I am really hoping that CIM will stay true to the original design and install the facade on the parking structure as they finish construction on the high-rise portion.

FYI, I did ask an employee at CIM if they plan to install the facade on the parking structure, and he was uncertain if they would or not. That was concerning to me. Leaving a parking structure unfinished should NOT be allowed in DTLA.

Agreed. The thing that sucks most is I see so many that are covered, and during the day they look okay but at night it really doesn't make much of a difference. I really wish architect/developers would put more thought and effort into it.

Urbanize LA has a post regarding the development at 1020 Figueroa, it's going to the LA City Planning Commission for final approval next week. Is there a timeline for ground breaking? Looks as if Phase 1 (W Hotel Tower) will begin first with Phase 2 (demolishing of Luxus) around 2020? Will Phase 1 break ground 2018? Anyone have insight?

Great photo updates. Unfortunately I cannot help but think that all these parking podiums are really destroying South Park's full potential. It is such a shame.
