Yes - but as DMJ19 said, we're unsure how its going to turn out.
The site was once home to the California State Office Building:
Which was demolished by our city with no foresight. Interestingly enough the foundation & basement to the old building remained until earlier this year, and was the subject of several LA Times articles.
Here are a handful of images I took in the adjacent (1950s?) underground parking structure during demolition. This structure reused the foundation & walls to one of the old LA Times buildings.
