This project would consist of a high-rise structure featuring 374 residential units, a 373-key hotel, approximately 33,500 square feet of commercial office space, a 10,800-square-foot conference center and over 65,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

The building’s exterior would include a structural grid pattern, with facade patterns consistent with those of the adjacent Figueroa Hotel on its lower levels.

The hotel component, highlighted by two open atriums, would begin with a 14th-floor lobby and amenity deck.

Residential units would be situated on the upper levels of the tower. A rendering portrays an open-air garden atop the building’s roof.
