Next week, the DLANC's Planning and Land Use Committee is scheduled to take a closer look at Fig South, the glassy high-rise project slated for the (other) parking lot across the street from Staples Center. The twin 36-story towers are being designed by architecture firm Harley Ellis Devereaux; artistic renderings depict glassy, elliptical shaped buildings with swooping rooflines. Both towers would rise 400 feet above street level, the maximum height allowed for the property at 1200 S. Figueroa street. Altogether the project comprises 648 condominium units, situated above 48,000 square feet of sports-themed retail and restaurant space.
Designs for Fig South feature a prominent 100-foot tall podium, containing 1,770 parking spaces on seven above-grade and two below-grade levels. Renderings portray a landscaped outdoor deck atop the podium, offering amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness room, and barbeque pit. Additional open space would be included within each tower, specifically in the form of two rooftop terraces.
