The exterior is clad with sculpted white metal and glass. The tower is adjacent to theFIGat7th shopping center, which opened in 1986 as "Seventh Market Place" and had two department stores:Bullock's andMay Co. It was purchased from Maguire Properties by ownerBrookfield Properties.[7][8][9]
The building's owner, Brookfield, defaulted on 777 Tower and theGas Company Tower, also in Los Angeles, in 2023.[10]
