Look At This: Wilshire Grand Center

Desmond Shaw flies us to the tallest building in the western United States, the Wilshire Grand Center. The massive skyscraper stands out from the rest and anchors the downtown Los Angeles' skyline.

[@beerussama7093]

US bank tower is still the tallest imo. I’m 5’10 and if I stick a chopstick in my head doesn’t make me 6’3

[@californiamade5608]

In LA yeah. Salesforce Tower tallest on west

[@roachtoasties]

Agree. Also, the US Bank building is further up a hill, closer to Bunker Hill, that makes its height measured from sea level even higher. Where do you get the best view? From the top of Mt. Everest, or from some tall building somewhere else in Nepal?

[@californiamade5608]

@@roachtoasties I get it. But even with the hill. US bank top floor is still taller than spire 73 on WSG.

[@heisnahom]

False. You can clearly see Wilshire is taller with the spire excluded.

Will the chopstick be a permanent element in your body's structure?

Rip to the worker that fell during construction 🙏🙏

He jumped, I worked there.

[@marioglez1553]

It’s only taller than the bank cuz of that pole

[@jaymoses7460]

That's what Desmond mentioned in this segment. Did you actually watch and pay attention??? Or did you just rush to leave a comment like a lot of idiots do on KZbin these days??? SMDH..

[@lwilliams396]

To roof height its not the tallest but structurally it is with spire. Be glad when LA has skyscrapers between 1200 and 2000 feet. Wilshire Grand was supposed to be 1250 feet tall.

The Centerpiece at 480m or 100s located at 8TH STREET FLOWER STREET

I hate that building, it looks like a east coast tower 🙄 Also that dumb spire, thats a New York thing. L.A should have flat roof with a crown like the US Bank Tower

[@end14forund]

I see you like to use this emoji 🙄and it doesn’t make you cooler WGC is tallest

[@californiamade5608]

@@end14forund no it’s not

[@end14forund]

[@MitchellBPYao]

Or a twin with a roof height like us bank than stack up to 480m

The best breakfast buffet in town is in that building🤤

[@A22DNAL]

Ohhhhhh do tell!!!! That is my favorite meal!

[@knuclear200x]

@@A22DNAL It's in Dekkadance. You have to take the elevator all the way to the top floor/hotel lobby, but you have to walk down the stairs to get to the actual restaurant. You get a beautiful view too

[@emsauce75]

So dumb! I hate how that building is the tallest by the bar that's on the side.

[@robyncook5255]

the slide as view building like the Vanderbilt one kinda

[@californiamade5608]

Glad I’m not the only one that thought this

[@roachtoasties]

Sticking a spire on top of a building,and then claiming it's the tallest building because of that is cheating. Using the same logic, a developer can build a two story building, then put a 5,280 foot tall pole on top, and then claim it's the tallest building in the world (one mile high). Nope, that doesn't work for me.

[@end14forund]

Burn khalid’s has spire and they count and i didn’t hear something bad about Khalifa from your balcony so that counts if it’s not oversized spire

[@roachtoasties]

@@end14forund With the Burj (I've been there), workers can climb to the top from the inside of that large cylinder, to get to the top. With the Wilshire Grand (I've been there too), it's what a call a glorified flag pole that tops the building.

True tallest is Salesforce Tower west of Chicago.

[@Blue-jd8jf]

Salesforce has and empty crest US Bank Tower is actually taller by floor

[@californiamade5608]

@@Blue-jd8jf you can go on top of Salesforce Crown and look down at US BANK Helicopter pad, so it still counts. Salesforce is tallest

[@seanlewis1148]

Salesforce Tower in San Francisco is TECHNICALLY the tallest building west of the Mississippi, followed by US Bank Tower here in L.A....THEEEEEN WGC(sorry, but the sphere doesn't count. I count by floors)

[@Blue-jd8jf]

The Salesforce tower has a empty crest on top with no floors which also doesn't count. In that case the US Bank Tower is large than Salesforce 🙄

[@end14forund]

@Sean lewis you count it it like that but others no so WGC is taller

[@californiamade5608]

@@Blue-jd8jf no it’s not 😂 because you can still go on top of the rooftop of the crown on Salesforce Tower. Which is taller than US bank helipad which you can also go up top. 1,070 feet is taller than 1,018 feet. Salesforce Tower is taller than US bank.
