http://www.condopedia.com/wiki/655_South_Hope_Street 655 South Hope Street was originally constructed in 1964 as an eight story office building for the Republic Federal Savings & Loan Association. The building was transformed and expanded in 1985 by Gensler Architects. Boldly marketed as offering "The ultimate urban living experience" since its transformation and re-opening in 2009, 655 South Hope Street now offers 80 residences over its 17 stories. The converted building is zoned as a live-work structure with luxurious living and convenience of a metropolis for busy professionals. This office tower conversion offers a central location in downtown Los Angeles near public transit, and stands out among its historic context with a modern emerald exterior of steel, stone, and glass. Originally designed by architecture firm Van Tilburg, Banvard, and Soderbergh, who are also known as VTBS Architects, 655 South Hope Street offers a unique glass and stucco structure with pyramid-like designs at each exposure. The convenient location of the now residential building offers a place to call home where residents can walk to work, enjoy the on-site fitness center and rooftop deck, and take advantage of the many restaurants and entertainment spots nearby.
