Buena Vista

Buena Vista is S&R Partners and Lincoln Property Company's plan for roughly eight acres of hillside between North Broadway and Los Angeles State Historic Park, just north of Metro's Chinatown Station, a 26-story tower with 986 residences at 1251 N Spring Street targeting 2034.

Designed by RIOS, the project splits into a South Parcel anchored by a 26-story, 344-foot tower and a 22-story, 301-foot tower, and a North Parcel with a 15-story, 209-foot building, joined by lower mid-rise buildings that step down the slope. It would hold 986 studio, one, two and three bedroom homes, including 200 affordable units spread through the buildings and operated by the Cesar Chavez Foundation, along with about 15,000 square feet of shops and 23,800 square feet of restaurants. Around 116,000 square feet of outdoor space is woven into the hillside, including a large central green between the parcels and terraces looking out over the park toward the Downtown skyline, and a pedestrian bridge linking Broadway to the park has been floated. The project is phased over several years and still needs City Council approval.
