I live next door and look into offices that used to be clients of mine. When I am giving directions to anyone driving to me, I always say it looks like a white pancake or wedding cake building and everyone knows which one it is almost immediately. LOL
Those buildings are ridiculous and it’s one of the reasons why we don’t have housing and why we have homeless people most of those office Spaces are umleased and unused
Nope. Almost ended up Korean owned. Backed out last minute knowing The Gas Company building is being sold for pennies on the dollar. Avoided the possible trifold downside.
The news can bring you local history in case you didn't know. and this segment highlights things we see in our city everyday but with a little backstory as to why it's iconic. I personally love this segment.
People repeatedly resist those types of things. They say they want to onshore investment, but when elected officials try and use taxpayer money to improve life for people the right wing screams "SOCIALISM" and it dies. You can't have it both ways. I agree with you we should be spending money domestically, but the GOP decries that as anti capitalism even thought its not.
Really enjoying this segment @KCAL! Please keep it up
I’ve always loved this tower including the Plaza Tower in Costa Mesa
Fun Fact. Cesar Pelli also designed Plaza Tower in Costa Mesa and the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa
City is so beautiful and that's why I love the city so much beautiful view.

Because they have the money
