$1 Billion Office Tower

The Thomas Property Group and Korean Air have just proposed a $1 billion mixed-use complex consisting of two large towers in the heart of the city’s downtown. If approved the buildings would be designed by A.C. Martin and Partners, architects of several of the city’s tallest buildings, like the 52-story Two California Plaza, the 53-story Figueroa at Wilshire, and the 55-story Bank of America Plaza.

The 1,750,000 square foot project would be built on the site of the current Wilshire Grand Hotel, at 930 Wilshire Boulevard, which would be destroyed. The new complex would include a 40-story tower featuring a luxury hotel of up to 700 rooms topped by several floors of condominiums, and a 1,150,000-square-foot, 60-story office tower, connected with plazas and up to 18,000 square feet of public space.
