The owner of the property at 6601 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles investor and developer Maggie Miracle, has doubled down on an earlier $500-million proposal for the site near Gower Street with a $1-billion greenery-laden “vertical campus” designed by English architect Norman Foster, reported the Los Angeles Times. Miracle’s family-run company has submitted to the city revised design plans for the office tower, which has been dubbed “the Star” and which would cater to the entertainment industry.

Foster + Partners’ design for the 22-story Star includes the type of indoor-outdoor work spaces commonly found in low-rise office campuses and is intended to appeal “to the needs of the creative community and innovators we hope to attract,” Miracle told the Times.

“Since COVID, the importance of a healthy workplace and access to fresh air and outdoor space has been a driver, especially for those in the entertainment and tech industries,” she said. “The change in design is meant to respond to those demands.”

Although the plans haven’t been approved by the city, Miracle hopes to launch work on the 525,000-square-foot building by late 2026 and open its doors for occupancy in 2029.
