820 Olive, Contemporary residential tower in Downtown Los Angeles, US.
820 Olive is a residential tower in downtown Los Angeles with 49 floors and retail spaces at ground level. It sits in the urban core of the city, close to other tall buildings, major streets, and public transit stops.
The tower was built between 2016 and 2019 on the site where the RKO Hillstreet Theatre once stood. The demolition of that older entertainment building to make way for housing reflects the broader shift that has reshaped downtown Los Angeles over recent decades.
The building stands in a part of downtown Los Angeles where office blocks and apartment towers now sit side by side. Walking the surrounding streets, you notice how shops and cafés at street level give the area a more day-to-day feel than a typical business district.
The tower sits in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, within walking distance of many other places in the area. Public transit connections are nearby, which makes it easy to reach other parts of the city from this spot.
The tower was developed by Onni Group, a Canadian company that brought outside investment to build one of the taller residential projects in this part of downtown. It is one of the few large towers in this area financed entirely by a foreign developer.
