Wilshire Grand Center is a 1,100-foot (335.3Â m) skyscraper in the financial district of downtown Los Angeles, California, occupying the entire city block between Wilshire Boulevard and 7th, Figueroa, and Francisco streets. Completed in 2017, it is the tallest building (if including the spire) in the United States west of Chicago. Though the structural top (in this case, the 300-ft spire) of the Wilshire Grand surpasses L.A.'s U.S. Bank Tower by 82Â ft (25Â m) and the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco by 30 ft (9.1 m), the roofs of both the U.S. Bank Tower and the Salesforce Tower are higher than the roof of the Wilshire Grand. The Skyscraper Center lists the Wilshire Grand Center as the 15th-tallest building in the U.S. and the 95th-tallest in the world. It won the Structural Engineering Award 2019 Award of Excellence from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
The building is part of a mixed-use hotel, retail, observation decks, shopping mall, and office complex. The Wilshire Grand Center includes 67,000 square feet (6,225Â m) of retail, 677,000 square feet (62,895Â m) of Class A office space, and the 889-room InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. The hotel features the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere. The development of the complex is estimated to cost $1.2 billion.
