825 Hill 49 Story Tower by Onni Group Finally Breaks Ground

By: Chad Kim

Taking a visit to the 825 Hill project site, a Construction Site Notice from the City of Los Angeles was posted indicating the type of work to be performed at the project site. Aspreviously covered by LAOCDB, Onni Group was able to obtain their Grading and Shoring Permits on 01/12/2016. 

Finally, the Onni Group is applying their obtained permits to use and as shown in the above picture, the surface parking lot is no more. Instead, Onni Group finally breaks ground on their 49 story mixed use residential tower. 

Here is a closer look at the Construction Site Notice Posting. The following is stated under "Work Description": "Site grading for proposed 49 story high rise building including 2 levels of subterranean parking and 5 levels of podium parking under permit 14010-10000-01775. Shoring Permit and plot plan under 15020-10000-01881" 

Meanwhile, Onni Group is still working towards obtaining their Foundation Permit (LADBS).

Here are more pictures of the project site as we say goodbye to the former surface parking lot:
