Mack Urban Wants to Start With Hotel and Residential Towers

Quote:

Last week, the Downtown News reported that newly formed developer Mack Urban plans to construct hotel and residential towers on surface parking lots surrounding the AT&T Center. According to a recent case filing with the Department of City Planning, the $750 million mixed-use project's first buildings will be two high-rise structures at the northeast corner of 12th Street and Grand Avenue. The first tower, containing 461 residential units and 8,700 square feet of ground level retail space, would rise 41 stories at 1120 Grand Avenue. The second, a 300-room hotel with 8,610 square feet of commercial space, would stand 12 stories high. Designed by AC Martin, the joint venture between Mack Urban and AECOM would join the Wilshire Grand Center in utilizing the Los Angeles Fire Department's newly relaxed rooftop helipad policy. Representatives of AC Martin previously informed the Architect's Newspaper that at least one building in the decade-long project would feature a "'sculpted' top."

Here are AC Martin's latest designs for the Mack Urban/AECOM development:

http://buildinglosangeles.blogspot.c...rk-towers.html

1120 Grand Avenue will stand 37 stories, with 512 condominiums and slightly under 10,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. The building will have a roof height of 386 feet, augmented by a 100-foot spire.

1155 Olive Street will rise 12 stories/142 feet, with 154 condominiums and 11,000 square feet of retail space. Designs also call for blue LED lighting to frame the building. Earlier plans had called for a hotel, but it appears that's out.

is this the largest tower AC Martin/Mack Urban plans for this project?

chris08876 Nov 15, 2014 2:03 PM

Some good infill for the area. Increased densification is great. Replacing some of those parking lots is always a plus.

112597jorge Nov 15, 2014 6:22 PM

I hope the spire is ornamental and more than just a pole sticking out the top, maybe something like a stair like spire, leading to the apex.

Also is there any news if the spire will still be on it?

mt_climber13 Dec 22, 2015 4:52 AM

Yes, there will be a spire of 3,000 feet, making this the tallest building in the world!

Heh.. couldn't help myself. :shitstorm:

Absolutely pathetic parking podium for the downtown of a city.

Blesha13 Feb 22, 2018 5:45 AM

Will there still be a spire as proposed?

Certainly not the prettiest, but adding some much needed height to the southern end of the skyline.

Oh man, now that's a podium only a mother could love.

A mother high on crack.

caligrad Oct 19, 2018 4:13 PM

Hell the whole building is something only a mother can love. Happy it was built, thankful for the units, height and density but this could have been tweaked soooo easily.

colemonkee Oct 19, 2018 4:38 PM

^ Agreed. Even the massing and programming of the tower feels very awkward and utilitarian. Like it was designed by a realtor, not an architect. The facade treatment of the tower isn't half bad, but the overall effect is a pretty abject aesthetic failure.

DJM19 Oct 19, 2018 7:01 PM

I don't mind the tower at all. Hopefully someone with some sense comes along and puts a tower on the other end of that podium one day. It wouldn't be hard.

But it does underscore how LA really needs an ordiance relating to how parking podiums can look. Some general prescriptions about putting them as much toward the alley as possible and concealed by other uses.

The North One Oct 19, 2018 7:19 PM

LA is doing a really bad job with podiums lately, honestly, it's becoming the parking podium capital of the world.

colemonkee Oct 19, 2018 11:56 PM

^ Meh, I'd say it's the same as most cities, to be honest. There are a few really bad examples (Metropolis, Aven, Watermarke, the backside of Circa, etc.). Then there are some really well-done ones (Perla, Oceanwide Plaza, the western-most Spring St. tower, the front side of Circa). In the proposed, not-yet-built category, I'll agree with you that we have more regretful ones than we do good ones. And agreed that some sort of ordinance that requires active uses to mask parking podiums for street facing sides would do wonders to alleviate the problem moving forward.
