The new proposed super-tall tower named 333 South Figueroa will be constructed on the northeast corner directly adjacent to the 13 story tower on the property. A sleek slender design will make it the tallest building west of the Mississippi River, the tallest in Los Angeles, the tallest in California and the 15th tallest building in the United States at the proposed height of 1,108 feet, surpassing the height of the Wilshire Grand Center.[2][5]

The second tower will remain at 13 stories and will be converted and remodeled into apartments.
