Project Address: 700 South Flower Street, 700 West 7th Street, 711 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90017
Community Plan Area: Central City
Council District: 14—Jurado
Project Description:
The Project Site is currently developed with The Bloc, a mixed-use development comprised of a 26-story
hotel and a 33-story office building on the northern portion of the site, and a nine-story podium building
containing commercial uses, six levels of above-ground parking, and two levels of subterranean parking on
the southern portion of the site. The Project proposes the development of a residential tower with
up to 466 units, enclosure of the existing rooftop parking level, and the addition of two above-ground
parking levels above the existing nine-story podium building. All existing uses would remain,
excluding 24,342 square feet of theater and retail uses (located in the podium building) which would be
demolished to accommodate the new residential tower. Once constructed, the Project and existing uses
would total 1,894,988 square feet of floor area on a 4.3-acre site, resulting in a Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
of 10.2:1, and have a maximum height of 710 feet, or 53 stories. In addition, a Sign District would
be established that includes digital displays and off-site signage.
