5411 Wilshire | Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles has no greater boulevard than Wilshire. Beginning in downtown and ending at the beach, it’s the primary address of Koreatown, Hancock Park, Miracle Mile, Park Mile, Westwood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica.
In full acknowledgment of the history of the Talmadge, the Ga***rd, the Bryson and others, 5411 Wilshire focuses on moving beyond the expediency of recent high rise residential development. Room sizes, design and finishes in the public areas, a set of amenities unrivaled in the city, and dedication to personalized management characterize this tower residence. Amenities include a full gym, two pools, and an exercise facility overlooking a park. Immediately below this is a bowling alley, VR room, golf simulator and yoga studio.
The curvilinear nature of the tower is also an aspect of the podium screen, and the paving of the entire block is derived from Art Deco designs. The tower window system takes its form from the patterns of art deco decoration as do the frit patterns shading each window. The 5411 Wilshire building is returned to its original design including signage, materials, windows and awnings. Its commercial space includes both a white tablecloth restaurant, café, bar, and convenience retail.
