Since these projects seem to be sprouting up all over the place, maybe we can track all Wilshire related projects here.

Wilshire and Catalina (24 story residential tower)
California Landmark is proud to produce the first mixed-use high-rise development in West Los Angeles. Situated at the prestigious corner of Barrington and Wilshire, this new luxury building will include a pedestrian friendly eatery/cafe, ample parking and 78 residential condominiums. Inspired by high-rise residential architecture in Vancouver, the project will set new design standards for future developments throughout Southern California.”
World class residential high rise to be built will set new standard in luxury living in L.A.
Los Angeles-based California Landmark and the Fifield Companies have acquired a prime 46,000 square-foot site on the southwest corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Malcolm Avenue for $27 million and will build a high-rise condominium structure that promises to set a new paradigm for luxury living on the celebrated Wilshire Corridor. Sales proceeds are projected to exceed $170 million.
I really hope all these projects will generate pedestrian activity and night-life. I hope to see a plethora of shops and cafes with outdoor seating. Basically something like Old Town Pasadena but on a much bigger scale. Hopefully that will link a vibrant DTLA with the westside and Hollywood. With DTLA, Mid-Wilshire, and Hollywood booming the City of LA will be so much more by 2010.
Here are the pics. This project I'm very excited about because it involves a world-renowned architect and an incredible location. The only location in Beverly Hills I can think of that's "better" will be Casden's proposed mid-rise sandwiched between Barney's New York and Saks Fifth Avenue.
