One Wilshire, Telecommunications office building in Downtown Los Angeles, United States
One Wilshire is a thirty-story office building at 624 South Grand Avenue with a reflective glass facade rising approximately 127 meters above the city. The structure houses one of North America's largest internet exchange points, serving as a central hub where hundreds of network operators connect their infrastructure.
The building was designed in 1966 by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill as an office tower for law firms and corporate clients. During the 1990s, it underwent a major transformation and became critical infrastructure for internet service providers and data networks.
The building functions as a central meeting point for over 260 Internet service providers, making it a fundamental hub for digital communications.
The building sits near major transportation hubs with good access via the Metro system and surrounding roads. Visitors should know that the interior is geared toward tech professionals and is not designed as a public tourist attraction.
The building contains specialized rooms on multiple floors where network operators can directly connect their equipment without relying on long-distance cables. This arrangement made it a preferred location for internet companies worldwide.
