There's a flurry of activity at the Pacific Design Center, the office tower/mega-showroom for furniture design in West Hollywood. Cesar Pelli's RedBuilding—the Return of the Jedi in his PDC structure trilogy—has its tarps and crane up (all red, of course). Construction workers are scurrying around as well. WeHo News reports all these workers are union folk and that the RedBuilding—expected to open next year—will create 1,933 new construction jobs, 2,691 permanent jobs, and bring in $735,000 in new tax revenue for WeHo. All this good news is a bit marred by the fact that the fountain on the side of the PDC's blue building has gone missing. Any hot tips?
