I use the word “construction,” liberally, since it’s just excavation at this point in the process. But starting in November of this year, concrete begins filling the massive dirt pit. In April of 2014, the steel framework of the Wilshire Grand begins its three year ascent to the peak of the Los Angeles skyline. In August of 2015, the tower is expected to reach its 1,100 foot apex above the corner of Wilshire and Figueroa. In January of 2017, you can enjoy dinner at a restaurant on the 70th floor of the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.
