Opus at 3545 Wilshire
Los Angeles, California
Gruen Associates led the architectural and landscape design for Opus,” a $220 million, 520,000-SF development at 3545 Wilshire Boulevard. Created for Jamison Properties, the project adds 428 apartments to the vibrant Koreatown community. Featuring a 22-story glass tower on Wilshire Boulevard and a 14-story tower on 6th Street—with structured parking for 800 cars and 500 bicycles spanning between the two—the buildings’ flowing curvilinear forms present varying bold sculptural images along the Wilshire and 6th Street vistas, marking the center of the energetic neighborhood.
Opus offers an impressive range of amenities including rooftop decks with a pool, a dog park, fitness centers, private dining spaces, co-working spaces, a game room, a private screening room, and an indoor golf range. Landscaped terraces with BBQ stations, fire pits and seating areas provide residents with inviting outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy city views. The light-filled interiors blend contemporary design, natural materials, and sweeping vistas.
Evolving through multiple design iterations, Opus optimizes construction efficiency while preserving its bold architectural vision. It stands as a modern symbol of Koreatown’s ongoing transformation, reflecting the neighborhood’s growth and aspirations.
