A proposed high-rise hotel and condominium complex in Hollywood could be one of the first beneficiaries of a new California law intended to speed the construction of large developments.
The project, designed by a team lead by Rios Clementi Hale Studios and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), is described as a “transit-oriented pedestrian-enhancing development,” which incorporates the historic Crossroads of the World complex on Sunset Boulevard. Plans call for the demolition of several buildings on properties surrounding the former shipping center, followed by the construction of multiple high-rise and low-rise structures featuring 1.4 million square feet of condominiums, hotel rooms, shops and restaurants.
