Los Angeles Oceanwide Plaza redevelopment

Entities: Oceanwide Plaza towers · Karen Bass · South Park Neighborhood Association · Debra Shrout · KPC Square

Overview

A U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles confirmed a revised liquidation plan on 21 July 2026, allowing the $470 million sale of the stalled Oceanwide Plaza to KPC Square, a joint venture of the KPC Group and Lendlease. The city and county withdrew objections, and the court ordered graffiti removal from the three towers within 30 days, framing the transaction as a path to revive the project ahead of the 2028 Olympics.

By 24 July 2026, KPC Square and city officials began the physical cleanup, deploying 24‑hour security, fencing, and barbed wire while crews started stripping graffiti. The South Park Neighborhood Association pledged oversight to prevent further vandalism. The restoration is expected to be completed in under 90 days, marking the first visible progress on a development halted since 2019 and signaling momentum toward redeveloping the downtown site.
