Foster + Partners Vertical Creative Oasis

Hollywood, Los Angeles is set to gain a blossoming new landmark with the unveiling of revised designs for The Star, a $1 billion vertical creative office campus envisioned by Foster + Partners. Located on a two-acre lot at 6061 W. Sunset Boulevard, this project is developed by The Star LLC, with the aim to introduce a hub for Hollywoods top content creators. Designed by architect Norman Foster, The Star takes the form of a dynamic, spiraling tower. Spacious floor plates, large outdoor areas, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows will offer 360-degree views toward the cityscape, the Hollywood Sign, and Californias Pacific coast beyond. The buildings true centerpiece will be its lush, spiraling gardens, climbing from street level all the way to the rooftop restaurant.
