What the source record says
13-story, approximately 485,892-486,000 gross sq ft tower (roughly 230,000 sq ft technical/server space per Bisnow) replacing a 1960s-era parking structure at 727-737 S. Grand Ave; architect OfficeUntitled. No city entitlements confirmed as of the most recent dated reporting - only an initial environmental study has been completed. A Nov 2025 trade-press report describes the project's status as 'unclear.' Industry-tracked as 'LAX13' (datacenterHawk); across the street from Digital Realty's untracked LAX10 (600 W. 7th St.) and near One Wilshire (624 S. Grand Ave); distinct from the already-tracked digital-realty-lax12-ca (El Segundo). No AI/HPC-specific marketing found anywhere - demand is framed as general entertainment/gaming and colocation. Correction: a widely-repeated '32MW, land acquired Nov 2025' claim associated with this address actually belongs to a separate, unrelated Digital Realty transaction at 4400 Pacific Blvd, Vernon, CA (5.4 acres, $48.8M, 32MW) - do not conflate; the Vernon site is not tracked in this dataset. Coordinates are an approximate street-level geocode, not a parcel-confirmed point.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
