Document Description
The Romaine & Sycamore Project proposes a new commercial development on an 89,396-square-foot (2.05 acre) Project Site located in the Hollywood Community Plan Area of the City of Los Angeles (the Project). As shown below, the Project would include 200,990 square feet of new commercial development comprised of 194,597 square feet of office uses (including 5,200 square feet of amenities open only to employees) and 6,393 square feet of ground floor retail and/or restaurant uses, in a new 14-story, 196-foot tall (216 feet to the top of the elevator penthouse) building. The existing 66,904-square-foot historic Howard Hughes Headquarters Building would be retained onsite with no alterations or change in use, while three existing buildings comprising 3,535 square feet and a surface parking lot would be removed to accommodate the new building. Upon completion, 267,894 square feet of floor area would be located within the Project Site, including the existing floor area to remain, resulting in a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 3:1. The Project would provide approximately 809 vehicular parking spaces and 64 bicycle parking spaces within four subterranean parking levels and five above-ground levels. Construction of the Project would require a maximum depth of excavation of up to 73 feet, resulting in the export of approximately 149,946 cubic yards of soil.
