Description: A 23-story flat plate concrete structure with shear walls at two linked cores, this project was a first of its kind in the city of Los Angeles, with the structural design allowing the perimeter of each floor to be free of shear walls or beams allowing exterior glass window walls to be truly floor-to-ceiling. The single basement level is dedicated to retail parking while two levels of retail starting at the grade level provide flexible retail space responsive to the location – immediately adjacent to a stop on the Purple line of L.A.’s Metro. Six “live-work” units are located on the Second Level along with an Asian-inspired residential lobby. Above the retail levels are four parking levels containing parking space for the residential units; the roof of the residential parking forms a 13,000 sq.ft. deck, pool and clubhouse amenity level. There are 12 residential units on each floor except for the top two levels where six large penthouse-style units per floor have been located, each with large terraces open to the southern California sky. The Seventh Level houses residential units with large outdoor terraces and the principle tenant amenities – a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, covered cabanas and a clubhouse with a gym and meeting rooms.
