Oh yeah! Lets get this thing going. Hopefully it will be built with the same mach 5 speed as Metropolis

So is Fig Central now called Oceanwide Plaza?

Their promotional literature has called it Fig Central, but the banner from the groundbreaking ceremony certainly sends a conflicting message.

I don't think they'll be able to go as fast as Metropolis. Both Metropolis and Wilshire Grand have the unique benefit of having no immediately adjacent (or even remotely adjacent) occupied residential or hotel properties, so they've been able to secure permits to work overnight (which Wilshire Grand takes advantage of nearly every day and Metropolis takes advantage of on select dates). Oceanwide Plaza or Fig Central (or whatever it ends up being called) is immediately adjacent to at least 2 residential buildings, so I highly doubt they'll be working through the night. They'll be limited to 7am - 7pm rules, which should make progress a bit slower than Metropolis. That being said, they can make up for that with expert coordination of trades and materials.

Fig Central is slated for completion by 2018.

In my opinion.. there shouldn't be a problem with the timeline. There are always solutions, like more worker and so on.

Eightball do you have any update pictures? I saw you posting one a few days ago. Looks like they are digging out the foundation for the skyscraper.

Thank you again. I am happy to find some updates.

We can see the progress. The whole Downtown-Area looks like a construction site.

Good to see some progress here, seems to be off to a slow start.

^^ Thanks for the update blackcat. I wonder if they will have the foundation done before the rainy "this years El Nino" season gets here.

LosAngelesSportsFan · #**157** Posted **Sep 7, 2015, 9:22 PM**

Awesome. Looks like we should be ready for rebar, concrete and cranes in a couple weeks

timpdx · #**158** Posted **Sep 7, 2015, 10:38 PM**

From today 9/7

If you look at the Metropolis Earthcam and zoom in to the Fig Central site, you can see activity at the site.
