Certain
to be two of the most prestigious residential
towers in the United States, The City House
and The Olympic will be widely considered
one of the most unique properties of its
kind on the West Coast. Designed in the
spirit of those great estates and formal
mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel Air for
which Robertson has won numerous awards,
these two towers will surpass the quality
of most of the historic derivations of this
architectural style with its golden-hued
limestone, clay-tiled roofs, copper gutters,
and its street-level, bronze-trimmed retail
shop windows. Artistic sculptural relief
limestone panels and limestone architectural
details will be profuse at the street and
penthouse levels of the two towers. The
skyscraper towers of The City House and
The Olympic will fuse the architectural
greatness of the standard of Classicism
– the New Beaux Arts, as defined by
Robertson – with the modern amenities
one finds in the world’s most refined
landmark international hotels and legendary
private residences. The City House and The
Olympic are destined to become the Los Angeles
benchmark addresses in the ongoing urban
renaissance of the vibrant city center.
The
City House
With
only eighty-four spacious luxury apartments
planned, The City House will be divided
into unique private living spaces which
vary in size. The apartments will be designed
to provide the elegantly proportioned and
truly functional features that delight discerning
buyers. The principal motor entrance to
the property is to be located on Grand Avenue.
The portal entrance is a triple triumphal
arch Porte Cochere which serves as the physical
and psychological passage from the noise
and activity of the public street into the
private calm of a tranquil groin-vaulted
Motor Court that functions as the elegant
entrance to the residential tower. The height
of the Tower, being at over five-hundred
eleven feet, is equivalent to a conventional
fifty-story building yet, when applied to
the exclusive City House, shall translate
into only thirty-nine stories. The City
House is located near the Financial District
in South Park in downtown Los Angeles. As
a superlative amenity, this facility will
have a stunning indoor pool, a full service
spa, including soothing spa treatment baths,
steam rooms and saunas, state of the art
training facilities. Other amenities include
an elegant dining and reception hall for
entertaining, and a high-end supper / dance
club on the thirty-eighth floor.
