The first tower in downtown LA to be erected in two decades has completed, furnishing the district with a 54 storey landmark hotel. Designed by Gensler, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel & Residences and JW Marriott at L.A. LIVE, opens its doors today.

“Gensler designed this tower to be a beacon for a rejuvenated Downtown, a destination for Angelenos and visitors from all over the world,” said Andy Cohen, executive director of Gensler and principal-in-charge of the project.
