The City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering has announced a trio of finalist teams competing to redevelop the site of the former Parker Center police headquarters in the city's Civic Center district.
Each of the teams, according to Urbanize.la, is each made up of designers, contractors, operations providers, and community "equity" members. The project RFP calls for a 750,000-square-foot office tower, ground floor retail spaces, pedestrian passages to the surrounding neighborhood, and a requirement for including public displays highlighting the history of the former Parker Center complex. The project can rise up to 27-stories and would, according to Urbanize.la, rival City Hall in terms of height. A breakdown of the teams follows below.
The DTLA Civic Partners team is headed by SOM and includes Clark Construction, Meridiam and Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate as equity partners, and ENGIE Services providing operations and management services.
LAC 3 Partners includes Morphosis, Hensel Phelps Construction, Macquarie Financial Holdings and JLC Infrastructure as equity partners, and Honeywell International as operations managers.
The Plenary Collaborative Los Angeles team is headed by Smith Group and Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and includes Webcor Construction, Plenary Group as equity members, and Johnson Controls as operations managers.
Images of the proposed projects have not been unveiled. The finalists will be presented to the Los Angeles City Council prior to the formal issuance of the RFP, according to a City of Los Angeles press release.
