The following projects have been submitted to the Planning Department of the City of Los Angeles for approval.
The Mirabel
The Mirabel is the latest Miracle Mile project to seek approval from the Los Angeles Planning Department. This 42 story mixed-use residential high-rise located on Wilshire Boulevard between Cloverdale Avenue and Cochran Avenue has yet to be vetted by board of the Miracle Mile Residential Association. That is because they have failed to provide requested supplemental documents to show compliance with the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) and other rules. The application and request for discretionary actions describe a project that appears to be in conflict with the LAMC which is why additional information has been requested. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

In the Hiss Tower, Dr. John Hiss’s son, also a Dr. John Hiss, and I had jazz group rehearsals in the father’s office. His son played the drum set well for most of his life and I played the saxophone with him on many engagements and rehearsals, some at his home in Santa Monica. This is just a nostalgic note, for the fun of it!
Good Wishes,
