洛杉矶市中心“涂鸦大厦”清理完成 三栋烂尾楼换新颜迎2028奥运

洛杉矶市中心著名的“涂鸦大厦”11月11日以全新面貌示人。最新照片显示,位于Crypto.com Arena对面的Oceanwide Plaza三栋烂尾高楼外立面的涂鸦已基本清理干净,与几个月前密密麻麻的涂鸦形成鲜明对比。这三栋楼2015年动工,原计划投资12亿美元,建成后包括柏悦酒店、公寓和商铺,但2019年起烂尾停工,此后成为涂鸦者竞相作画的“画布”,在社交媒体上走红,也成了市中心的一块心病。
今年7月21日,法院批准以5.17亿美元破产价将项目出售给KPC Group与Lendlease的合资公司KPC Square。根据法院批准的方案,新业主须在90天内清除三栋楼全部涂鸦,期限截至10月20日。施工队吊在35层高的吊台上逐层作业,共清理了约250个阳台的涂鸦。KPC Group房地产开发负责人约翰·佩蒂表示,第250个阳台于10月20日下午4时正好在90天期限内完工。
清理使用的是东洛杉矶企业World's Best Graffiti Removal Products生产的化学溶剂。如今三栋大楼正在为2028年洛杉矶奥运会前的整体改造做准备。
Graffiti Cleanup Completed at Los Angeles' Oceanwide Plaza Towers
The graffiti covering the stalled Oceanwide Plaza towers in downtown Los Angeles has been fully cleaned, the New York Post reported Nov. 11. The towers were sold out of bankruptcy for $517 million to KPC Square, a joint venture of KPC Group and Lendlease, in a deal approved on July 21. Crews cleared graffiti from about 250 balconies ahead of an Oct.
20 deadline, recovering roughly 1,000 spray-paint cans and a loaded handgun in the process. The $1.2 billion project, which was to include 504 condominiums and a 184-room Park Hyatt hotel, has stood unfinished since construction halted in 2019. The cleanup removes one of downtown's most visible symbols of stalled development, and the new owners are evaluating plans for the site in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County.
