One California Plaza

One California Plaza is an office building with 42 floors located in the Bunker Hill District of Los Angeles. The structure combines office spaces with public plazas and features multiple elevators that move people between the various levels throughout the day.

Construction on this complex began in 1983 and finished in 1985 as part of a major downtown revitalization effort in Los Angeles. The project helped transform the overlooked Bunker Hill area into a modern business district.

The building sits within California Plaza, where the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Colburn School of Performing Arts draw visitors interested in art and music. This location has become a gathering place for creative professionals and cultural enthusiasts in downtown Los Angeles.

The plaza is within walking distance of several transit stations in downtown and is surrounded by other buildings and public pathways. Visitors should know that this is an active business district, so the best times to visit are early morning or late afternoon when foot traffic is lighter.

The complex features an expansive water court with fountains and landscaping that stretches across the site, offering a calmer alternative to the usual street activity in this business district. This public space is often overlooked by passersby who move quickly through the area.
