US$1bn Sunset Boulevard project targets top Hollywood creatives

Foster & Partners has lodged revised designs for an office tower on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles that is targeting top Hollywood creatives.

The block, named The Star, will have 22-storeys of office space above its double height reception and will feature spiralling gardens rising from street level to its roof-top restaurant.

It is earmarked for a 0.8ha plot next to a motel on the famous LA thoroughfare and is valued at US$1bn – £786.5m at current exchange rates. Earlier proposals for the site, which also neighbours the Siren production studios, were worked up by Chinese practice MAD Architects in 2021.
