This tower is part of a proposed development in Downtown Los Angeles designed by architect Frank Gehry, known as the Grand Avenue Project, or by some, dubbed "The Grand". However, along with his Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, it has been delayed for years now; as the original completion date of Phase 1 (which contains the Mandarin Oriental Hotel), is this year. This is of course due to the fact that the Credit Market is completely dead. I am confident that this one will be built, however, when the economy recovers.

Anyway, if possible, I would like this tower to be drawn!:D

Here are a few renderings!:

Colemonkee (a moderator) says it may be between 550-600 ft, which appears to be right, considering that One California Plaza in the backround of that picture is 578 ft.

EEK! Gehry overkill!

It's an insult to Walt Disney Concert Hall. Scrap it please.

^ I disagree. The towers are fine; its the base thats yucky.
