LOS ANGELES— The Star LLC has submitted revised design plans for The Star, a proposed $1 billion office campus at 6061 W. Sunset Blvd. in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The development firm, led by local investor and developer Maggie Miracle, first submitted a proposal for the project in 2021 with renderings designed by Chinese architecture firm MAD Architects. The initial concept held a $500 million price tag.
The original design was ultimately scrapped by Miracle to incorporate garden-like outdoor spaces, which she believes have become increasingly attractive to office tenants following the COVID-19 pandemic, according to reports by the Los Angeles Times.
Updated plans for the project, which doubles down on the initial investment price, were designed by Foster + Partners and include a 22-story, cylindrical tower with a spiral of external gardens rising from the street level.
The development will offer spacious floor plates and floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed views of downtown Los Angeles, the Hollywood Sign and Pacific Ocean. Each floor will feature a series of external shaded and landscaped social garden terraces designed by SALT Landscape Architects.
Plans for the project — which will target WELL and LEED certifications — also include a rooftop restaurant and outdoor event space, and a ground-floor arched paseo of restaurants, community gathering spaces, theater and gallery. A timeline for the project was not announced.
Foster & Partners is a global architecture firm led by Norman Foster. The firm’s portfolio includes Apple Park in Cupertino, Calif., The Gherkin skyscraper in London and the JP Morgan Chase Headquarters Tower in New York City.
