The Gas Company Tower

Highlights

50-Story building
1,336,000 sf
Architecture by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

Description

Designed by Richard Keating of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, The Gas Company Tower is one of the most unique buildings in the DTLA skyline. Offering over 1.3 million net rentable square feet, the tower was completed in 1991 as the second building in the Library Square Redevelopment Project (US Bank Tower is the other). 50 Stories tall, this tower is a rare example of a building designed to suit its anchor tenant, Southern California Gas Company. Its form rises up in layers meant to evoke the image of the blue flame, a trademarked symbol of Southern California Gas Company. The symbol permeates throughout the entire building in wall sconces and chandeliers. Visitors and tenants will be amazed by Frank Stella’s mural Dusk which is painted on an adjacent building and is one of the world’s largest murals, running the length of an entire city block. The Gas Company Tower has won many awards including the 1992 Merit Award by the Californian Council of the American Institute of Architects and the 1994 Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce Beautification Award for a new commercial high rise and public use interior space. Tenants of the tower will enjoy its proximity to a plethora of eating establishments such as Water Grill and Café Pinot as well as convenient access to many retail shops as well as access to many nearby freeways.
