1212 Flower Street

Within spitting distance of Amacon's proposed development, the Onni Group has plans for two additional high-rise structures on the parking lot of the 1212 Flower Street office building. The first tower would rise 40 stories (529 feet) at the intersection of Hope and 12th Streets, containing 420 residential units. The second structure, a 31-story tower (421 feet), would create an additional 310 units along the Flower Street side of the property. Both glass-clad towers would sit atop approximately 8,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space, with frontage on all three sides of the pacel site. The project would include a total of 843 parking spaces, contained within an above and below grade garage, which would serve residents, commercial tenants and the existing office building. Residential units would screen above-grade parking from street view on levels five through seven.

Onni's multi-tower development joins two other high-rise projects set to rise along this stretch of Flower Street. A partnership lead by Jamison Services and the Hankey Group is currently working on plans for twin 36-story towers on the opposite side of the street, while the Chinese-based Oceanwide Group recently purchased the revived Fig Central development. It looks like Metro's Pico Station, long surrounded by a sea of surface parking lots, is about to find itself in the center of a tall urban canyon.
