Reaching for the sky on Wilshire
Get ready for more high-rise development in the already rising mid-Wilshire area. Globe St. is reporting that some underutilized church land near the Wilshire/Normandie subway stop is at issue:
Historic Wilshire Christian Church has retained Burbank, CA-based BTG Advisors as real estate consultants for the potential construction of a mid- to high-rise mixed-use project that could include a multipurpose assisted living or senior housing facility, new offices, a chapel, educational space and production studio space for a digital broadcast studio for radio and television ministry. The Disciples of Christ church, which was the first of the "tall steeple" churches on Wilshire Boulevard, is considering the development to replace an underutilized three-story school building on a quarter-acre parcel located behind Wilshire Christian.
