Well the Ritz is 667 feet, so yeah it should be slightly taller

Oceanwide Plaza, currently under construction at 1101 S. Flower St., will be conducting a series of large-scale concrete pours at its project development site. The work will be performed on W. 11th St., W. Flower St. and Figueroa St. Concrete trucks and pumps will be utilized to complete the work.

A total of 27,000 cubic yards of concrete will be poured. This project will require a total of four consecutive weekends to complete.

I'm guessing we will see this project above ground level by the end of the April pour.

Probably not because there's 2 or 3 floors of underground parking I think

Yes, even May would be very unrealistic.

It is a huge site.

This project has sure taken its sweet time since groundbreaking.

Yeah. It broke ground before Circa. And I recall them initially stating that they thought that they would break ground before metropolis. I'm really curious as to what has delayed them. I initially speculated that it may be design changes requested by the hotel operator (similar to when 8th/grand signed WF) but it turns out they don't even have one yet.

a very long weekend · #**190** Posted **Feb 9, 2016, 1:51 AM**

^ so great to get these developments in los angeles. pretty much the only american city, i guess aside from miami, with these sorts of projects. oceanwide, do 10-20 more of these; please bring us the bladerunner l.a.!

When did this project actually break ground ? I know there was talk that they were worried about working during..... "El Nino" ....which actually hasn't happened either ...

Some would say current building cycle is over.

Valyrian Steel · #**193** Posted **Feb 18, 2016, 6:54 AM**

The el niño stuff is BS. Circa broke ground months after oceanwide and it's a couple of floors above ground while this thing has been a hole for the better part of a year now.

Didn't someone post that Oceanwide requested a permit to tweak the foundation about 2 months ago?

At the end of the day we'll see what happens in March when that concrete pour is set to happen. That date is a bit ambitious since we haven't seen any big rebar work with the foundation to date.

I don't think theres a cause of concern just yet. Some got nervous when Metropolis set idle for months. Now look at it. And the weather claim is just an excuse. I even poked fun at the Stadium plan claiming to have setbacks because of it.

Heard on another forum that 2-3 cranes were being erected today. Can anyone confirm this?

Crane action at Oceanwide Plaza! Picture taken by me this morning...

Actually it did happen and is happening. It just missed Southern California this time. Northern California is seeing a lot of rain.

BTW I love the look of Oceanwide Plaza. It reminds me of a typical big Asian development and as someone pointed out is pretty unusual for North America. It will have a major impact on LA Live.

Moved to Highrise Construction forum after pictures on Facebook confirmed rebar for the tallest tower's matt foundation has been laid. This one's been a long time coming. Since 2006 or 2007. Not quite the wait we had for Metropolis, but that doesn't make it any less sweet...

If you zoom in on the Metropolis cam you can see the cranes starting to appear.
