Hacking the Highrise
Reimagining Office Towers for a New Era
Hacking the Highrise focuses on Downtown LA’s most well-known office towers and does a deep dive by property on how they are changing to meet the demands of tomorrow’s workforce and what that means for their tenants, surrounding neighborhoods, and the future of DTLA.
Celebrating a new perspective on traditional highrises, we are examining the evolution of these massive structures into cutting-edge office experiences designed for new modes of work and changing attitudes about employment. We are looking at every aspect of these iconic towers and considering the technology, amenities, social activities, and cultural programming that connect people and companies within their buildings and to the surrounding neighborhoods.
