Wilshire Grand Center The Wilshire Grand Center is built on the site of the original Wilshire Grand Hotel, once a distinctive landmark of Los Angeles. The owner of the site has been Korean Air since 1989. The construction is part of an effort to "revitalize the Figueroa Street corridor of downtown Los Angeles as a vibrant light-and-sign district, similar to New York's Times Square." Construction is managed by Turner Construction, a subsidiary of the German company Hochtief. The design was managed by the LA architectural firm AC Martin Partners. In the image, the tower is in the center with the construction crane forming a spire at the top. It'll be the only skyscraper in LA without a flat top design (the flattop roof is a consequence of a 1974 fire ordinance).
