Project Description: The Times Mirror Square Project would develop a new mixed-use development and rehabilitate the Times, Plant, and Mirror Buildings on the approximately 3.6-acre city block bounded by W. 1st Street, S. Spring Street, W. 2nd Street, and S. Broadway Street in the Center City/Historic Core District of Downtown Los Angeles (Project). New development, consisting of the 37-story “North Tower” and 53-story “South Tower” would be located in the west sector of the block, which is oriented toward S. Broadway, with frontages on W. 1st Street and W. 2nd Street. The existing Executive Building at the corner of W. 1st Street and S. Broadway and parking garage at the corner of W. 2nd Street and S. Broadway would be demolished to allow for the development of the Project’s new mixed-use component (North and South Towers). The North and South Towers, which would be constructed above a five-story parking podium, would contain a maximum of 1,127 residential units and up to 34,572 square feet of commercial floor area. The parking podium would be an above-ground structure forming the streetfront of the new development and base for the residential towers. The space below the podium would contain an additional nine levels of subterranean parking. The combined commercial and residential floor area would total up to 1,135,803 square feet. The existing Times, Plant, and Mirror Buildings have a combined floor area of 376,105 square feet. In total, including new construction and existing buildings to remain, the Project proposes up to 1,511,908 square feet of floor area. This would result in a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 9.42:1.
