History
The towers were developed by Jona Goldrich, Sol B. Kest and Nathan Shapell, three Holocaust survivors. Their construction cost US$60 million to develop. The three developers had already built the Promenade and the Promenade West Condominiums in Downtown Los Angeles.
The towers, built on built on 4.26 acres in Bunker Hill, were completed in 1985. At the time, they formed the first privately owned apartment complex built in Downtown Los Angeles since 1970. In 1986, tenants included University of Southern California students. Meanwhile, the three developers decided to build the Grande Promenade, another apartment complex in Downtown Los Angeles, this time for US$200 million.
Architecture
The buildings were designed in the modernist architectural style by Kamnitzer & Cotton-Abraham Shapiro & Associates. The Northern tower is higher, reaching 76.76 metres with 19 storeys, while the Southern tower is 68.68 metre high, with 17 storeys. They span 849,298 square feet.
In the spirit of architect Peter Kamnitzer, who believed apartment complexes should include greenery, there are palm trees and exotic plants between the two towers.
