I see that it's 54 stories but does anyone know how many feet it will be?

The model is very promising.
I doubt it'll be very tall. 700 ft ?

Not bad for LA! When you consider that is about 70% as tall as the tallest in the city, it will certainly be noticed.

^ It'll definitely make a difference in the skyline when viewed from the south or the west - most pronounced from the south. I don't think it will hit 700 ft. though. The first 20 floors or so are the Marriott Hotel, which will have 9-10 ft. floors, and the condo floors will probably only be 11-12 ft. floors, plus a 40 foot crown, we're looking at something in the ballpark of 640-670 ft. Still pretty significant given our recent development history.

It will still stand out well at your calculated heights.

Nice tower for sure!

Here is an update of the LA Live site from earlier today. Check the webcams from time to time for visual updates.

Actually www.downtownnews.com says that groundwork is set to begin on the $800,000,000 Ritz-Carlton/Marriot hotel on April 30.

Yet despite its height of 720 ft tall it will still become a tower of importance and a key componant in the revitalization of Downtown nonetheless.

The Channel 5 KTLA CW News studio has a cam looking south towards the complex.

But where can you find that particular webcam westsidelife?

Here's a couple of skyline renders to give you a rough idea of the size and placement
in the skyline. The colors and angles are a bit off, but you get the idea. This assumes
a 650 ft. height, I really don't think it will reach 720 ft. and haven't seen that published
anywhere.

So no word yet on when exactly it will break ground? I saw reports saying April 30th, but some people on here are mentioning May/June and even July?

Also...are there any other tall buildings under construction or proposed currently for LA? Anything over 500 feet or so? Do you guys think LA will ever build a tower that is taller than the US Bank Tower?

^ The tallest building proposed for LA is the 78 story Park 5th Tower. Though it won't be taller than US Bank seeing as how it's a residential tower.

I didn't take those photos, I just searched online for photos that showed the skyline at angles similar to those in the pictures of the model, then did a little cuttin' and pastin'.

ThreeHundred, could be referring to the Mansion of the Angels at 1,100 ft?
Thats just a fantasy.

Hey, does anybody know what Donald Trump is proposing for L.A. at the end of the season series, "The Apprentice L.A."?

I think the LIVE series finale is this sunday!

jdrcrash, threehundred is referring to Park 5th, a residential tower that will go between Metro 417 and Pershing Square. It is a 78 story residential tower.
