History

Prior to Ten Thousand, the 2.4-acre lot was occupied by an office building built in 1970, and the site was once home to Jimmy's restaurant, a popular hangout for celebrities and local politicians.[10] After demolition in the early 2000s, the site was considered highly valuable and was contested by many developers including Donald Trump.[6] The auction was won by SunCal Cos of Irvine but the company filed for bankruptcy in 2008. Eventually, the site was bought for $59 million by Crescent Heights in late 2010.[6] The project was financed by Bank of China which lent $390 million in mortgage financing to Crescent Heights.[1] Construction started in 2014 and completed in 2016.[3] Ten Thousand opened for lease in 2017.[11] In March 2018, Ten Thousand was certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council.[12][13][14]

Design and location

The building exterior, designed by San Francisco architecture firm Handel Architects, is made from metal panel, stone and glass.[15] The structural engineer was Magnusson Klemencic Associates. The interiors and landscape were designed by Shamir Shah Design and RELM Studio.[3] The high-rise is located between Century City neighborhood and Beverly Hills, in walking distance from Rodeo Drive and Westfield Century City[7][6] Amenities include a one-acre park, two pools, a tennis and basketball court, fitness center, resident lounge, private theater, robot butler and elements of Smart Home technology.[16] [7][17][18]
