2 High rises
648 Luxury Condominiums
48,000sqft Retail
Completion: Late 2017


From LA Downtown News:

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - Another massive South Park project officially breaks ground this week.

Now called Circa, the development at 1200 S. Figueroa St. will create two high-rises with a combined 648 luxury condominiums, sitting on top of a seven-story retail podium with 48,000 square feet of space for shops and 1,770 parking spaces.

While construction on the 36-story buildings has already begun, a groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Wednesday, July 22, at 11:30 a.m. Scheduled speakers at the event include Mayor Eric Garcetti.

Additional features at the development include a two-acre outdoor amenity deck and a 15,000-square-foot ribbon of LED signage along Figueroa.

Circa is backed by a development group composed of Hankey Investment Company, Jamison Services, Falcon California Investments and Highlands Capital.

The design of the curving towers comes from Harley Ellis Devereaux. Circa is slated for completion in late 2017.

The nearly $500 million project joins under-construction South Park neighbors Metropolis (north of L.A. Live) and Oceanwide Plaza.
