Looks like construction for the massive Parsons complex project on Walnut is getting ready to begin.

Just passed saw a tower crane and construction fencing up around this site on Wilshire near Barrington.

Did we just get a stealth ground breaking?

EDIT:

Multiple apartment sites have this pegged as being under construction and due for completion in 2020. How did we let this one slip unnoticed?

Well...there goes my big story for the morning!

34-story Landmark apartment tower begins construction

Awesome! I don't see why Wilshire/West LA can't have a bunch more of these.

Especially with the purple line extension west of the 405.

Drove by the Samitaur site, now known as (W)rapper on Eric Owen Moss’s site, and spotted not one, but two shoring rigs hard at work (second rig not pictured). With the Carmel Partners 30-story tower already several stories above ground one short super block away, this little corner of Culver/LA is about to get a mini-cluster.

So uh is it just me or did four towers break ground in the last month?

Busy Bee · #**8915** Posted **Nov 28, 2018, 11:36 PM**

That tower is... kinky?

Could also be the Tommie Hotel in Hollywood? that is on only 8 or 9 stories. I wouldn't count Grand Ave as started, its in early demo.

Illithid Dude · #**8918** Posted **Nov 29, 2018, 1:14 AM**

Grand Avenue, Culver City, Brentwood, Koreatown government office building.

Plus the various mid rises in Hollywood.

Plus the always imminent Jamison tower near MacArthur Park which is alleged to break ground in December.

Seems like a mini boomlette to me. Did the tower across the way from LACMA sand The Page Museum actually end up breaking ground?

WonderlandPark2 · #**8919** Posted **Nov 29, 2018, 1:18 AM**

And I think the last on the LACMA adjacent tower, there were photos of utility relocation a month or two ago.

And did the tower portion of Academy Square in Hollywood break ground yet?

Forgot about the K-town County office tower.

Academy Square and Expo and La Brea both broke ground around the same time either earlier this year or last year. And there was the House of Blue replacement which I think started construction around January - Feb.

Honestly, despite all the doom and gloom, not a bad year for groundbreakings.
