The ocean front property is located approximately 500’ from the southern coastline of Oah`u between Kaka`ako and Waikiki, adjacent to Ala Moana Regional Park and Ala Moana Shopping Center. The area surrounding the building is dominated by residential high rise and commercial structures. The building is part of the commercial, retail, and residential district of Ala Moana, which is south of Makiki, east of Kaka`ako, and west of Waikīkī. 21.291794, -157.848113 (4N) Significance: 1350 Ala Moana, together with its site features, is historically significant under National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Criterion A for its association with the expansion of Hawai`i’s post-Statehood population and the emergence of the high rise apartment as a pervasive building type in the Modern period in Honolulu architecture (1955-1979). At the time of construction in 1968, 1350 Ala Moana became the state’s tallest building at 33 stories, surpassing the previous record holder, the Ala Moana Building. It remained the tallest building in the state until 1970, and is also significant under Criterion C as an excellent example of Hawai`i Modernism and the work of a master, architect Minoru Yamasaki. The building’s engineer, Alfred Yee, is also known for his pioneering work in Honolulu high rise construction.1The building is an excellent example of regional Modern high rise architecture, distinguished by its rectangular footprint, clean lines, and distinctive lanai design. As with many of Hawai`i’s Modernist buildings from the 1950s and 1960s, the building mixes elements of the International Style with regional features, like native lava rock walls and indoor/outdoor living amenities. Minoru Yamasaki (December 1, 1912 – February 6, 1986) was an American architect, best known for designing the original World Trade Center in New York City. Yamasaki was one of the most prominent architects of the 20th century, and was elected as a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) in 1960. Yamasaki won the American Institute of Architect’s First Honor Award three times, and was featured as the cover story of TIME on January 18, 1963.2 In Hawaii, he 1 Fung Associates, Inc.

Description: 1350 Ala Moana is a Modern style high rise residential structure that has 33 stories, with 27 apartment floors, containing 353 units. The concrete structure is rectangular in footprint, with the approximate dimensions of 210’ x 69’, rising to a height of 308’. The concrete pilings and foundation are cast in place with slabs ranging from 6” to 12” thick. Concrete slabs at the floor deck are 4-1/2” thick. The concrete garage structure consists of 6” cast-in-place walls, which form the foundation for the 3rd floor plaza level. The overall structural system contains a mix of precast and cast-in- place, prestressed members including: cast-in-place concrete columns, beams, and walls; and precast concrete framing, joists, and planks. The foundation walls continue to the 7th floor and all concrete members contain typical reinforcing steel. Exterior infill walls consist of concrete masonry units (reinforced vertically with rebar at the upper levels), while interior apartment walls are framed in wood studs. The two top penthouse floors are set back approximately 3’ along the perimeter of the building and the base of the 32nd floor is capped by a wide concrete fascia. The flat roof has a concrete parapet wall, with an additional concrete fascia located at the top of the 33rd floor. A concrete mechanical room and associated equipment is concealed behind a rigid panel screen on the top of the roof. The entrance to 1350 Ala Moana is located along Pi`ikoi Street, where a circular driveway leads to the main lobby and an adjacent two-level parking garage. The parking garage delineates the property’s southeast corner boundary at street level with continuous, precast concrete grills and lava rock walls. The open-air plaza, located at the top of the parking structure (3rd floor), contains an oval-shaped swimming pool with concrete decking, open landscaped areas, and meandering concrete pathways. The east and west elevations (approximately 200’ in width) are dominated by three vertical bays, comprised of two sets of stacked concrete lanai at levels 4 through 31. The bays are separated by vertical bands of concrete panels with scored expansion joints. The north elevation (approximately 69’ in width) is dominated by an expressed concrete stairwell that rises vertically to the upper roof level. The south elevation is comprised of two vertical columns of stacked lanai at the outside edge, with two vertical bands of concrete panels between them. The exterior walls are finished with painted concrete plaster. The fenestration pattern is established by horizontal bands of stacked and repeating, cantilevered lanais. The shape of the lanais, together with the symmetrical nature of the fenestration pattern, emphasizes the verticality of the building. Aluminum sash windows are located at either side of the vertical concrete panels on all sides. Aluminum sliding glass doors with fixed sash sidelights are located at each lanai. The two top floors (32nd and 33rd) contain penthouse apartments. According to the original design drawings, the 32nd floor is referred to as the “lanai floor,” since a 1350 ALA MOANA BUILDING HABS No. HI-584 (page 3) continuous concrete deck wraps around the building at this level with an aluminum railing.3 The design of all aluminum railings is consistent on all elevations. The building terminates at the top of the 33rd floor. History: At the beginning of the 20th century, the site surrounding 1350 Ala Moana was part of a marshy eighty-two-acre parcel, in the area known as Kālia. The 50-acre lot of land was classified as unproductive by Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate. In 1912, Walter F. Dillingham, head of the Hawaiian Dredging Co. Ltd., purchased the land from the Estate, with the intention to fill the land with dredging material in preparation for development.4 (Founded in 1902 by Walter F. Dillingham, Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company, Inc. is the oldest and largest full-service general contractor in the State of Hawai`i.) According to 1936 historic tax records, Land Court Application 709 initially subdivided the lot that 1350 Ala Moana now occupies at the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Pi`ikoi Street.5 The lot continued to be subdivided into smaller lots throughout the 1940s and remained under the ownership of Hawaiian Dredging Co. Ltd., until September 24, 1965. During this time, the remaining subdivided lots were consolidated (Land Court Consolidation #100), under new ownership with Hawaiian Land Company, Ltd, a subsidiary of Hawaiian Dredging and part of the Dillingham family owned group of companies.6 The building was commissioned during this time, with design drawings by Minoru Yamasaki, dated February 24, 1966. According to the original design drawings, Alfred Yee & Associates were the structural engineers, while the general contractor was Hawaiian Contracting Co. Ltd. Immediately following the passage of the Horizontal Property Regime (HPR) in 1961, a state law enabling the creation of condominiums, Honolulu saw a surge in high rise development during its Modern period in architecture (1955-1979). It is at the height of this surge in 1968 that 1350 Ala Moana was constructed. High rise developments were also a direct response to the population boom following statehood in 1959, when land scarcity and rising costs became an issue in downtown Honolulu. The idea of condominiums as an abode and as an investment opportunity immediately took hold in Honolulu, and was more popular in Hawai`i than in any other state which authorized condominium developments.7 High rise buildings still stand out as one of the foremost tangible symbols of the 3Yamasaki, Minoru. “Original design drawings.” City & County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting, February 24, 1966. 4Jones, Lesleigh and Barbara Shideler. “Ala Moana Center: Architectural History Report.” Honolulu: Mason Architects, 2013. p. 9 5 City & County of Honolulu Department of Budget and Fiscal Services. “Land Court Application 709 Map.” Honolulu: Real Property Assessment Division.

  • PRELIMINARY WORKING DRAFT – Work-In-Progress IV.C Visual Resources
    IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS C. VISUAL RESOURCES 1. INTRODUCTION New development can affect the aesthetic quality of a community. This section will address the potential impacts that could result from the proposed Project with regard to aesthetics, views, light and glare, and shade/shadow. Aesthetics refers to the overall visual qualities of an area or within a given field of view. Aesthetics includes aspects such as size, shape, color, texture, and general composition, as well as the relationships between these elements. Aesthetic features often consist of unique or prominent natural or man-made attributes or several small features that, when viewed together, create a whole that is visually interesting or appealing. The degree of visual access to an aesthetic resource contributes to the value of aesthetic features. The analysis of aesthetics as presented below addresses the Project's visual relationship with existing and future known land uses in the surrounding area, as well as consistency of the proposed Project with the applicable regulatory environment (e.g., West Los Angeles Community Plan). The analysis of views focuses on the extent to which the Project may interfere with visual access to aesthetic features. Viewsheds are those areas that can be seen from a particular location. Existing views may be partially obstructed or entirely blocked by modifications to the environment. Conversely, modifications to the natural or man-made landscape of an area may create or enhance view opportunities. In general, visual access is closely tied to topography and distance from a visual resource (i.e., something that someone wants to look at). Light impacts are typically associated with the use of artificial light during the evening and nighttime hours.

  • Conservancy Comments on the Draft
    September 8, 2011 Submitted by email Mr. Hadar Plafkin Environmental Review Coordinator Los Angeles Department of City Planning 200 North Spring Street, Room 750 Los Angeles, CA 90012 Email: [email protected] Re: Century Plaza Mixed-Use Development Draft EIR, ENV-2008-4950-EIR Dear Mr. Plafkin: On behalf of the Los Angeles Conservancy, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the Century Plaza Mixed-Use Development. The Los Angeles Conservancy is the largest local historic preservation organization in the United States, with over 6,000 members. Established in 1978, the Conservancy works to preserve and revitalize the significant architectural heritage of Los Angeles through advocacy and education. The Conservancy’s all-volunteer Modern Committee has been at the forefront of preserving mid-century architecture since its inception in 1984. When the initial Century Plaza Development project (Option A) was announced in late 2008 calling for the demolition of the Century Plaza Hotel, the Conservancy embarked on a wide-ranging advocacy effort to raise awareness about the significance of the hotel and find preservation solutions that retain the hotel while meeting the goals of the applicant, Next Century Associates. At the request of Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul Koretz, extensive discussions followed in late 2009 with Next Century Associates’ project team, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Conservancy. We are pleased to see that the preferred project (Option B) and several alternatives evaluated in the Draft EIR preserve the Century Plaza Hotel as a historic resource so that it may continue to be a vital asset and cultural touchstone for Los Angeles.

  • LOS ANGELES AS URBAN IDEAL the Prime Location for Learning Real Estate Law Dean’S Message
    MAGAZINE USCFOR FRIENDS AND ALUMNI OF THE USC GOULD SCHOOLLaw OF LAW ISSUE 12 | SPRING/SUMMER 2018 LOS ANGELES AS URBAN IDEAL The prime location for learning real estate law dean’s message His friends and family agree: Phil Nicholson, a Double Trojan who graduated from Gould in 1961, was devoted to the law school and to Cox, Castle & Nicholson, the premier real estate law firm where he was a founding partner. Which is why I think Phil would have been thrilled to learn that his law firm colleagues — many of whom identify as UCLA Bruins — have come together to establish a scholarship here in Phil’s memory that supports students with an interest in real estate law. That’s the same Trojan Family spirit that I see embodied in the alumni who return to Prof. George Lefcoe’s classroom each 8 semester to share their knowledge with future lawyers. Over the PHOTO BY MIKEL HEALEY past five decades, George has shepherded the careers of countless Gould students with a passion for real estate law. And with some students, the connection is so strong that they become lifelong friends. For instance, Amy Forbes ( JD 1984) invited George to her wedding. That’s the same Trojan Family spirit that I see embodied in the alumni who return to Prof. George Lefcoe’s classroom each semester to share their knowledge with future lawyers. It’s the same spirit that I see in the Lee Family — Jaime ( JD 2009), Phill ( JD 2012) and Garrett ( JD 2014) — all Double Trojans who run Jamison, a family-owned real estate empire based in L.A.’s Koreatown.

  • By Josh Stephens the Greening Century City Plan Envisions A
    PLANNING PRACTICE 26 Planning March 2008 Softening The Greening Century City plan envisions a pedestrian plaza and subway portal—with a rail connection to downtown Los Angeles. the Edge By Josh Stephens American Planning Association 27 In a confluence of tragedy and irony, the two most famous works of the late architect Minoru Yamasaki are known less for their design than for their demise. The first to go was his Pruitt-Igoe housing complex, demolished by the St. Louis Housing Authority in 1972. Twenty-nine years later, New York City’s World Trade Center fell victim to terrorist attacks. Yamasaki’s most prominent remaining work is a pair of 44-story triangular, aluminum-clad towers that mark the skyline of Century City, on Los Angeles’s western flank. “From afar, the two silver towers are beautiful, if you’re looking at the horizon and see how they reflect the sun,” says Stephanie Pincetl, professor of urban planning at nearby UCLA. Today, however, the Century Plaza Towers, which were completed in 1975, stand watch over a world markedly different from the one in which they and the rest of Century Modernism City first arose. In a city consumed by traffic and newly dedicated to fostering street life, the aesthetic pleasantries of Century City’s skyline amount only to an abstract “architectural notion,” according to Pincetl. “It may get doesn’t have anything to do with how people actu- ally navigate places. It’s not a human place; it’s a modernist aesthetic.” Nevertheless, roughly 6,500 residents live in Cen- an update tury City, and another 50,000 arrive there for work every day.
