Overview
editThe 2.4-acre lot was occupied by an office building built in 1970, and the site was once home to Jimmy's Restaurant, a popular hangout for celebrities and local politicians.[8] After its demolition in the early 2000s, the site was considered highly valuable and was contested by many developers including Donald Trump.[4] The auction was won by SunCal Cos of Irvine, but the company filed for bankruptcy in 2008. The site was bought for $59 million by Crescent Heights in late 2010.[4] The project was financed by the Bank of China, which lent $390 million in mortgage financing to Crescent Heights.[9][10] Construction started in 2014 and finished in July 2017,[1] with Ten Thousand opening for lease soon after.[11] In March 2018, Ten Thousand's eco-friendly status was recognized with a LEED Gold rating by the U.S. Green Building Council.[12][13][14]
The building's exterior is made from metal panel, stone, and glass.[15] The structural engineer was Magnusson Klemencic Associates. The interiors and landscape were designed by Shamir Shah Design and RELM Studio.[1] The building is located between Century City and Beverly Hills, and is walking distance from Rodeo Drive and Westfield Century City.[4][5] Amenities include a one-acre park, two swimming pools, a tennis court, a basketball court, a gym, a resident lounge, a private cinema, butler services, and elements of Smart Home technology.[5][16][17][18]
Accidents and incidents
editOn June 22, 2020, American businessman Steve Bing jumped to his death from his apartment on the 27th floor.[19] Once the heir to a $600 million fortune, drug addiction and various bad business decisions had resulted in his fortune being reduced to $300,000.[20] He had also reportedly been suffering from depression caused by a lack of human contact during COVID-19 lockdowns.[21]
