Graffiti Cleanup Completed at Los Angeles' Oceanwide Plaza Towers
The graffiti covering the stalled Oceanwide Plaza towers in downtown Los Angeles has been fully cleaned, the New York Post reported Nov. 11. The towers were sold out of bankruptcy for $517 million to KPC Square, a joint venture of KPC Group and Lendlease, in a deal approved on July 21. Crews cleared graffiti from about 250 balconies ahead of an Oct.
20 deadline, recovering roughly 1,000 spray-paint cans and a loaded handgun in the process. The $1.2 billion project, which was to include 504 condominiums and a 184-room Park Hyatt hotel, has stood unfinished since construction halted in 2019. The cleanup removes one of downtown's most visible symbols of stalled development, and the new owners are evaluating plans for the site in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County.
