Wilshire Grand Hotel

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Size: $1.2 Billion

This building is the tallest building in Los Angeles, and the 14th tallest building in the entire United States, towering up 62 floors. This tower serves a mixture of hotel, retail, observation decks, and as an office complex. Unique designs of the building include an exterior skin for the building with programmable LED lighting and a 200,000 pound spire which adds another 294 feet to the building. The tower also has a unique profile against the Los Angeles skyline as it is without a flat roof due to exceptions from the Los Angeles City Fire Department as a result of it’s advanced fire prevention.
