Overview

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. [8] After its demolition in the early 2000s, the site was considered highly valuable and was contested by many developers including Donald Trump. [4] The auction was won by SunCal Cos of Irvine, but the company filed for bankruptcy in 2008. The site was bought for $59 million by Crescent Heights in late 2010. [4] The project was financed by the Bank of China, which lent $390 million in mortgage financing to Crescent Heights. [9] [10] Construction started in 2014 and finished in July 2017, [1] with Ten Thousand opening for lease soon after. [11] In March 2018, Ten Thousand's eco-friendly status was recognized with a LEED Gold rating by the U.S. Green Building Council. [12] [13] [14]

The building's exterior 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. [1] The building is located between Century City and Beverly Hills, and is walking distance from Rodeo Drive and Westfield Century City. [4] [5] Amenities include a one-acre park, two swimming pools, a tennis court, a basketball court, a gym, a resident lounge, a private cinema, butler services, and elements of Smart Home technology.

Accidents and incidents

On June 22, 2020, American businessman Steve Bing jumped to his death from his apartment on the 27th floor. [19] Once the heir to a $600 million fortune, drug addiction and various bad business decisions had resulted in his fortune being reduced to $300,000. [20] He had also reportedly been suffering from depression caused by a lack of human contact during COVID-19 lockdowns. [21]
