The City of Angels will soon have a new 73-story tower watching over it ... but not accepting helicopters. Hanjin Group is working with Thomas Properties Group on the enormous mixed-use development. The design from AC Martin is unique for two reasons: It will be the tallest building in LA, and it will be the first to be built without a flat roof since 1974, when the fire ordinance was changed to require helipads after a devastating fire in São Paulo. The Wilshire Grand was granted an exception by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, as the building will include advances in fire safety and building technology. Plans include 900 InterContinental hotel rooms and 677K SF of office space.
