LA's Tallest Tower could be the under-construction Wilshire Grand building


It's coming.  The Wilshire Grand that is.... Developer Korean Air has unveiled the final plan for the 70-story tower which is currently under construction.  Not only will this head turner building be called the West Coast tallest but it will be the first tower since 9174 to be built without a flat top.  

AC Martin Partners has done a beautiful job with the design of the building that will home to 900 hotel rooms, 400,000 square feet of office space, ground floor retail and a chic top-floor "sky lobby" with one of the fastest high speed elevators in the world.  

AMAZING. 

This tower will be a huge game changer for the skyline department in downtown since this building will have no rooftop helipad.  Only time (and construction) will tell what the final construction will be.  Until then... I will be looking forward to ribbon cutting ceremony in March 2017.
