LA Grand Hotel
LA Grand Hotel is a proposed super-tall tower by Shenzhen World Group in Los Angeles, California.
The new tower will rise in the Bunker Hill neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles, one block west of the Metro Rail station.
It is proposed to house 242 condominiums, 559 hotel rooms, and 28,700 square feet of retail along Figueroa Street. The proposed complex is currently in the design/funding process. No timeline has been announced.
The development was placed on hold in 2019 due to corruption allegations between the developer and city council member Jose Huizar. The US Attorney's office filed charges described in public legal papers, accusing the developer of giving $500,000 to an unnamed person.
Design
The LA Grand Hotel development area currently consists of one 13-story tower, operating as the LA Grand Hotel. This building was purchased by Shenzhen World Group in 2010.The proposed new 77-story tower, named 333 South Figueroa, will be constructed on the northeast corner of the property adjacent to the 13-story tower. A sleek, slender design will make it the 16th tallest building in the United States, the tallest building west of the Mississippi River, the tallest in California, and the tallest in Los Angeles, at a proposed height of 1,108 feet, surpassing the height of the Wilshire Grand Center.
The second, 13-story, tower will remain and be remodeled and converted into apartments.
