MCI Center, International Style skyscraper in Los Angeles, United States

The MCI Center is a 126.3 m (414 ft) skyscraper at 700 South Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles, completed in November 1973 with 33 floors. It is a Class A office building with 63,032 m2 (678,470 sq ft) of office space, a glass atrium and a courtyard. Its lower level opens onto a below-grade public plaza connected to the 7th Street/Metro Center Station.

The building was completed in 1973 during a period of significant downtown development in Los Angeles. A major renovation in 2013 transformed the ground level into an open public plaza, giving the structure a second life.

The tower's lower level once held a glass atrium and brick walls; the 2013 redesign by Johnson Fain removed them and opened the ground floor to pedestrians. Its below-grade plaza links directly to the 7th Street/Metro Center Station, the first direct underground connection of a private development to a Metro subway station. The offices of La Opinión occupy Suites 3000 and 3100.

The MCI Center occupies the block tied to 925 West Eighth Street, part of the complex bought in 2005 and redeveloped as The Bloc. Its below-grade public plaza links directly to the 7th Street/Metro Center Station, the first direct underground connection of a private development to a Metro station. Enter from the plaza level rather than the tower lobby.

The structure appeared in the 1974 disaster film Earthquake and has served as a backdrop for other Hollywood productions. Today it houses offices of ImpreMedia Digital, a media company operating from within the building.
