BEYOND THE STATS

  • The building’s design is defined by two strong horizontal bands that frame the façade, creating a clear architectural identity along Wilshire Boulevard while shaping shaded retail frontage and a distinctive corner condition at 6th Street.
  • Angled massing at the corner pulls the building back to create space for outdoor café seating, reinforcing pedestrian activity and strengthening the connection between retail and street life.
  • Vertical copper screen elements provide solar control and resident privacy while adding texture and visual interest that shifts with changing light throughout the day.
  • Residential units are organized above active ground-floor commercial space, allowing housing and neighborhood-serving uses to coexist within a compact urban footprint.
  • Shared amenities such as a landscaped courtyard and rooftop lounge extend living spaces outdoors, offering residents places to gather, relax, and engage with the surrounding city.
