First Look at the 63-Story Tower Planned at 11th & Hill

A proposed high-rise development in Downtown's booming South Park neighborhood takes inspiration from California's famed Redwood trees.

A revised plan, first reported by the Australian website CommercialRealEstate.com, calls for a larger 63-story edifice designed by Sydney-based Koichi Takada Architects. It is described as featuring multiple "trunks - like tall trees growing," and would incorporate natural building materials - including timber. A rendering portrays the project from the east as featuring two masses, rising toward sloping roof lines capped with trees.

The tower would greet the corner of 11th and Hill with an undulating canopy, a reference to the blowing skirt of actress Marilyn Monroe in the film The Seven Year Itch.

According to a representative of Koichi Takada Architects, the project will retain the same 528 residential units as in the original plan. Other components of the proposed development include 5,544 square feet of ground-floor retail space, a podium rooftop pool, health facilities, and community greenspace.

Very nice. The form bears a striking resemblance to 940 N Michigan Ave:

New renderings. Height has been reduced to 520ft / 42 floors?

Still a really cool building though, and still higher than 500+, I think the reduction was already mentioned a while back (unless this is another one).

Wonder when this will break ground.

Very nice!

This is old but I don't think was ever posted. I really love this project

LOS ANGELES — An Australian developer is pushing ahead with new plans for a $500 million skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles that would house both condominiums and a hotel, it was reported Monday.

Crown Group has been planning to develop property it owns at Hill and 11th streets since 2018 but recently reworked its proposal to include a trendy hotel in a newly designed 43-story tower meant to evoke a California redwood tree, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has slammed residential sales, shuttered many hotels and made construction more challenging, Crown Group is betting that demand for its building will be revived in time for the planned 2025 opening.

Redwood-inspired DTLA tower takes a small step forward

The 40-story building would rise at 11th and Hill

A proposed Downtown high-rise with a design inspired by California's redwood trees has taken a key step forward, following the publication of a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment for the project.

The project, slated to replace a mid-century warehouse located at the southwest corner of 11th and Hill Streets in the South Park neighborhood, is being developed as a joint venture between Australian developer Crown Group, Magnus Property Pte Ltd., and ASRI. Under current plans, the two-story industrial building would make way for a new 40-story edifice featuring:

• 319 one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums;
• 160 TORS units;
• 3,429 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space; and
• 390 parking stalls on six above-grade levels and two basement levels.

The TORS units now introduced into the project refers to "Transient Occupancy Residential Structures," which could be leased for periods of up to 30 days. The developer had previously proposed a 160-key hotel within the tower.

Designed by Koichi Takada Architects, with MVE + Partners serving as architect of record and RIOS as landscape architect, the glass-and-steel tower would culminate in a sculpted rooftop approximately 520 feet in height. A green wall is proposed to mask the building's above-grade parking, with open-air amenity terraces planned at its podium and roof levels. A swooping canopy planned above the sidewalk was inspired by Marilyn Monroe's windswept skirt in the film The Seven Year Itch.

Crown Group and its partners have previously announced their intent to complete construction of 11th and Hill development in 2025 - a timeline which would require breaking ground by late 2022 and building the tower within a 36-month period. The project has yet to secure entitlements, including a requested Transfer of Floor Area rights and a conditional use permit to permit alcohol sales and the proposed TORS units.

The project joins a handful of similar high-rise developments slated for surrounding properties along 11th Street, including two towers planned by Mack Real Estate and a 70-story building proposed by Crescent Heights. A 60-story tower is also planned by Onni Group one block north at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Hill Street.

They should’ve aimed for 700’-800’, but nonetheless cool tower.

[MAC123]

I love the flair's at the top and bottom. Definitely more interesting than the mass of flat tops around LA.

First post said 63 stories so it looks like this got downsized to 40 unfortunately.

[Manitopiaaa]

This is a beauty, but looks stubby. Double the height please

[homebucket]

Beautiful tower! Instant landmark fasho. The harp-like curves at the top are gorgeous.

I wonder the trees going to be managed by the management company or be left to the individual residents to tend to.
