At 700 South Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles, the Bloc is a proposal for a 53-story tower at a heigh of 216.4 meters (710 ft) that will offer a total of 466 residential units designed as a mix of studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments. Parking for 441 vehicles will be provided within the existing structure. The project, filed by National Real Estate Advisors and designed by Handel Architects will add a high-rise apartment building above The BLOC’s parking garage.

The roof of the existing garage, which provides parking today, will be repurposed into a landscaped amenity deck with a swimming pool, a fitness center, and an activity lawn.

The provision of open space is factor under consideration by the Board of Recreation and Parks Commission. Requested entitlements for the project, including a transfer of floor area rights, will require a hearing before the City Planning Commission. The estimated construction timeline has not been announced yet.
