Phase one of the project will feature a 19-storey hotel with 350 rooms and a 38-storey residential tower that will house about 300 units.

Designed by architectural firm Gensler, the planned two-phase development will feature one hotel and three residential buildings, with all of the housing retail space on the ground floor.

"Our team is proud to be part of this innovative project in downtown Los Angeles."

AECOM said the project’s site is a full city block, strategically bordering the harbor freeway. It is situated between the financial district to the north, including the LA Live hotel and entertainment complex, and the Los Angeles Convention Centre to the south.
