At 335 m (1,099 ft), the supertall skyscraper Wilshire Grand Center claims the title due to its spire, which overtakes the US Bank Tower by 24 m (80 ft).

The glass-clad 73-storey tower was designed by LA architects AC Martin and is located on the edge of the Downtown area, amidst the concentration of the other high rises in the city.

The building contains an 889-room hotel, restaurants, retail and office space, a rooftop swimming pool, and an open-air observation deck.

The sail-like glass crown that tops the building is illuminated with programmable LEDs, continue down the spine of the building.
