Graffitied skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles poised for sale
Oceanwide Plaza, the bankrupt, unfinished development in downtown Los Angeles that became a canvas for trespassing graffiti artists, is officially on the market.
The Chinese owners of the stalled residential, hotel and retail complex towering over Crypto.com Arena have hired real estate brokers to sell the property to buyers who could restart the project after work stopped in 2019. Taggers recently covered its outer walls with graffiti visible from far away.
Likely bidders for the property include large institutional investors such as Blackstone Inc. and BlackRock, and cash-rich overseas sovereign wealth funds from the Middle East, Asia and Europe, property broker Mark Tarczynski said.
“I think there’s a broad range of buyers,” he said, “but the pool of buyers is small because of the size of the project.”
Tarczynski is part of a team from real estate brokerage Colliers and Hilco Real Estate that will market the property, which fills a large city block on Figueroa Street across from the arena and LA Live.
An April appraisal by Colliers submitted in a bankruptcy case involving the project estimated the as-is market value at nearly $434 million, Bloomberg said. Colliers also projected a cost of $865 million to complete the buildings, which are 60% finished.
Real estate developments stall from time to time as developers run out of money; but rarely do they fail in such a high-profile manner as Oceanwide Plaza, which was supposed to be a glamorous addition to the skyline and center of activity in the bustling sports and entertainment district of downtown’s South Park neighborhood.
Beijing-based Oceanwide Holdings bought a sprawling parking lot across from the arena in 2014 and soon set to work on a three-tower complex intended to house luxury condominiums and apartments, and a five-star hotel supported by upmarket stores and restaurants. It was also to include a massive electronic sign intended to help bring a Times Square flavor to Figueroa Street.
The international company ran into financial problems that coincided with a Chinese government decision to restrict the flow of outbound investment. Work stopped on Oceanwide Plaza in early 2019 as contractors building it stopped getting paid.
In February, general contractor Lendlease filed a petition for the involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Oceanwide Holdings to force a sale of the property and pay creditors who were demanding almost $400 million. Major creditors include Lendlease and EB-5 visa investors, who helped fund construction. Oceanwide also owes back taxes to Los Angeles County and money to repay the city for security put in place in response to the graffiti and other incidents including BASE-jumping paragliders leaping form the towers.
The city allotted nearly $4 million to remove graffiti and secure the property in February. The property is now surrounded by a tall metal fence.
While some real estate observers have speculated that it might make sense to raze the towers to make way for a different development, Tarczynski predicts that the next owner will finish the existing project.
“It’s about two-thirds of the way done, with about $1.2 billion already invested in it,” he said. “Why would you tear down a perfectly good project? It’s unimaginable.”
Oceanwide’s location in the center of downtown’s sports and entertainment district should help entice investors to finish the complex, Tarczynski said.
“Every bit of the potential synergy between Crypto.com Arena, LA Live and Oceanwide Plaza still exists,” he said, “and there is a huge demand for housing and also hotel demand. This remains an attractive project.”
The brokerage team expects to distribute financial information and other facts about the project to qualified buyers early next month and call for offers by the end of July, Tarczynski said. “We hope to be in escrow by October.”

Scores of starving brown pelicans found on Southern California beaches
Scores of emaciated brown pelicans, too weak to fly, have been found on Southern California beaches in the last month and taken to an Orange County rescue center, according to its director.
“We’re getting dozens of calls,” Debbie McGuire, executive director of the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach, said on Saturday. “People are finding them in parking lots and their backyards.”
The rescued pelicans, she said, “are coming in at half their body weight. They are also very anemic.”
So far, she said, it’s unclear why the pelicans, which feed on anchovies, sardines and mackerel, are suffering from malnutrition.
McGuire said that she contacted scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration last week, who told her that there was “plenty of bait out there” for the birds to feed on.
“We don’t know the cause,” she said. “They are just all starving.”
Overwhelmed by the number of ailing birds, the wildlife center has been erecting pup tents to use as pens, she said.
In the last month, the center has taken in 89 brown pelicans, many of them quickly dying, McGuire said. More than 30 have survived, she said, as the center warmed them under heat lamps and gave them fluids.
She said the center sent tissue samples from the birds to labs for testing.
A similar spike in the stranding of brown pelicans up and down the California coast occurred in the spring of 2022. The cause has not been found.
The California brown pelican was listed as an endangered species decades ago after the spread of the chemical DDT caused the shells of their eggs to thin. The eggs became so fragile that nesting mothers crushed them.
After DDT was banned, the pelicans increased in number. The birds were removed from the endangered species list in 2009.
Wildlife officials say that anyone finding an ailing pelican should not touch or try to feed them. They urge people to instead call their local wildlife rehabilitation facilities. The Orange County center can be reached at (714) 374-5587.

In wake of youth brawls, Torrance mall set to require chaperons
A major Southern California shopping center that was roiled by two youth brawls last year has announced a new policy requiring adult supervision of minors on Fridays and Saturdays.
After 3 p.m. on those days, minors will not be allowed to enter Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance and any on the premises must leave if not accompanied by a parent or adult over 21, according to a statement from the Simon Property Group. The policy, which was first reported by other media outlets, goes into effect Friday.
“We are committed to providing a pleasant and family friendly shopping environment for all of our guests,” Simon said in its statement. “The program is in response to feedback from the community and community leaders, as the center reinforces its commitment to the community to provide a pleasant, family friendly shopping environment.”
The change comes roughly two months after a fight escalated into “escalating disruptive behavior” across the shopping center leading to its temporary closure and the arrest of five youths.
To quell the disturbance, Torrance police called on nearly a dozen other law enforcement agencies for help. Officers formed a skirmish line, issued a dispersal order, and escorted the young people away from the mall and surrounding businesses, according to a news release from the department.
Multiple police agencies also responded last summer when a brawl among juveniles drew a massive crowd of underage onlookers.
In that incident, a witness reported that at least one gunshot was fired, but there were no reports of serious injuries or arrests. Authorities worked to clear the fight watchers from the area, but there was not a general evacuation from the mall, police said.
Fox11 reported on Friday that signs detailing the policy were posted at the mall entrance.
In its policy, Simon said youths and their adult chaperons may be asked to show driver’s licenses or other proof of age, and those without identification will be denied entry or asked to leave.
Under the policy, one adult can accompany up to four youths but must remain with them at all times and is responsible for their actions.
Underage store employees can remain during their shifts but must adhere to the youth policy when not on the job.

The life-size Psyduck is coming back, and it’s available to pre-order
The Pokémon Company’s life-size Psyduck is back. It’s up for preorder on The Pokémon Center United States-based store, just weeks after it was restocked on the Japanese site. The Pokémon Company originally released its 31-inch Psyduck plush back in 2020, a blessing to Pokémon fans during the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. It’s been back in stock a few times before, and here it is again, with perfect timing with Netflix’s Pokémon Concierge, starring Psyduck.
Psyduck remains exactly the same as it was then, both stunning and perpetually stunned by its chronic headaches. (Psyduck is a migraine-haver’s icon.) Psyduck measures 31 inches in its Pokédex entry, making the big yellow duck true to life. The only problem is that it’s $324.99 — $45 more expensive than it was in 2020. That’s inflation for you.
The good news, though, is that you now can read user reviews to tell you how awesome owning a life-size Psyduck is:
Words cannot express how pleased I am with this massive Psyduck. Truly, massive. I’m thrilled that he finally came back in stock, and I had no qualms about purchasing him this time around. He shows up in random places around the house and it’s always a shock at first when I see him (most definitely he is using his confusion attack) but then a calmness quickly washes over me, and I feel comfort in knowing that he too, is confused all the time. Be aware that the shipping box is quite large, and says Psyduck on the outside, so don’t let him sit unattended for too long or someone else might try to capture him! He is way too rare and precious. Trust me – buy him and you will not regret it!! PS…he looks fantastic in hats.
There are actually two four star reviews out of the total 70 — the rest are top scores. The main gripe is that Psyduck is a little top heavy, so it falls over relatively easily. But for the most part, Psyduck has been worth the purchase for many Pokémon fans:
He is incredibly rotund and looks confused and distressed at all times, it’s like looking into a mirror! I couldn’t bring myself to place Psyduck on the floor so he takes up half my bed instead. A small price to pay for Psyduck to watch over me while I dream about an Appletun plush restock.
Also, Psyduck came in a box that was not discrete at all. Anyone will be able to read in big bold letters that a 31” Psyduck plush is inside so be ready to intercept the package once it is dropped off otherwise Team Rocket might steal him away.
The Pokémon Company expects to start shipping this new batch of yellow ducks in October. If you can’t wait until then but don’t care about what big Pokémon you have, a tall Lucario, big round Spheal, and massive Wailord are all in stock. In the past, The Pokémon Company’s sold big Mareeps, Slowpokes, and Gigantamax Pikachus among several other large dudes.

How some foundations get philanthropic dollars inside L.A. County bureaucracy
Wendy Garen, the recently retired president and chief executive of the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation, likes to say problems that seem to defy solutions — homelessness, injustice, child welfare issues — are too big for philanthropy to solve.
“We’re pocket dust,” she says, referring not just to the roughly $20 million the Parsons Foundation gives away each year to groups like the Coalition for Responsible Community Development, but to philanthropy dollars across Los Angeles.
While Garen believes that progressive philanthropies such as the Weingart Foundation and the California Endowment are right about the need to support marginalized communities by fixing broken public systems, directing unrestricted funds to community activists was a nonstarter at Parsons.
Instead, the foundation shifted to the public side of the equation, getting philanthropic dollars inside government bureaucracy to seed innovation.
The result was a union of the public and the private: Los Angeles County’s Center for Strategic Partnerships, within the county’s Chief Executive Office.
Garen — along with Fred Ali, former president of the Weingart Foundation, and Christine Essel, president and CEO of Southern California Grantmakers, which represents hundreds of regional foundations and corporate funders — was instrumental in the creation of the center, which opened in 2016. The Annenberg Foundation provided early support and continues to do so.
In the seven years that philanthropies have been working directly with county staff, $41.5 million in private funds have supported a wide range of public-private initiatives, according to Kate Anderson, executive director of the partnership center.
Before the center’s creation, private philanthropies thought the county considered them a cash machine, says Joe Nicchitta, L.A. County’s chief operating officer — and the county believed philanthropies only funded what they wanted, regardless of what the county needed.
“There is now a true partnership between L.A. County and philanthropy,” he says.
Kate Anderson of the county Center for Strategic Partnerships says $41.5 million in private funding has gone to a variety of public-private initiatives since philanthropies began working with county staff seven years ago.
(Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times)
Once mutual trust was established, Anderson says, private funds could move quickly to wherever the county needed them most — becoming particularly helpful in times of crisis. During the pandemic, the center fast-tracked private funds to pay for county services including child care for emergency workers and Wi-Fi hotspots for students struggling to connect remotely with their teachers.
It’s a model, Anderson says, that other local governments are considering.
One of the big-ticket projects is the county Department of Youth Development, created in June 2022 with a $50.6-million budget for programs to keep at-risk youth out of juvenile jails — especially out from under the authority of the county Probation Department.
The Probation Department has struggled for decades to safely care for young offenders. Juvenile halls have been plagued by staffing issues, drug overdoses, fights and beatings. Some facilities were stripped of their certifications to operate. Earlier this year, the county reopened one juvenile hall, and a few days later, a gun was found inside.
The strong correlation between the population of youths caught up in the juvenile justice system and those involved in L.A. County’s foster-care system has made improving foster care a top priority for Garen.
“About 1,200 kids a year emancipate from foster care,” she says. “We know from research that, within two years, half of those kids are homeless. … Two years after that, half of those children are permanently off track, broken.”
Earlier this year, The Times reported that attorneys from four law firms had filed a complaint saying the state and the county were “shirking their responsibility to ensure foster youths between the ages of 16 and 21 have a safe and stable place to live.”
When youths age out of foster care, “we throw them in the river only to fish them out half-drowned downstream,” says Garen. “Can’t we just not throw them in the river?”
Research from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that foster youths do better when they are placed with family rather than strangers, Garen says. With support from the partnership center, the county now prioritizes family placements, hiring a dedicated team to track down relatives of children in the system who might foster them.
In the meantime, local philanthropists have been working on an ambitious project to help support youths who age out of the foster system.
Last year, Garen brought Anderson together with her counterparts at Weingart, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, Ballmer Group and other philanthropies for a brainstorming session.
The result: a $750-million proposal to create housing with wrap-around services, jointly funded by L.A. County and philanthropic foundations.
“The foundations listened to the voices of foster youth,” says David Ambroz, an advocate for those in foster care, who supports the project.

Adorable ocelot kitten is born at L.A. Zoo. Here's when you'll be able to meet him
Visitors to the Los Angeles Zoo will soon have the chance to catch a glimpse of a new ocelot kitten, which zoo officials said is almost big enough to enter the animal’s public habitat.
Zoo officials announced Monday the arrival of the baby ocelot, a 19-ounce male born Sept. 12 to mother Maya, who was described as “an experienced nurturing mom,” according to the press release.
The kitten has been living “behind the scenes” under the care of his mom and zoo staff while he grows, receives vaccinations and is closely monitored. In the last three months, the kitten has already seen rapid development, now weighing 6 1/2 pounds — about five times his birth weight.
“His eyes opened after nine days and his teeth began to erupt after 20 days,” said Los Angeles Zoo animal keeper Stephanie Zielinski. “At first he was toddling around on unsteady legs, but he’s become stronger and more agile every day. He has a big personality now, and he’s brave and curious.”
The kitten, which hasn’t yet been named, will move to his outdoor habitat “in the coming days,” when zoo officials are confident he can safely do so, the release said.
Ocelots, scientifically known as Leopardus pardalis, are listed as endangered by the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife, as the population native to Texas and Arizona has drastically declined due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as hunting. However, in Mexico, Central and South America, the ocelot’s population remains much healthier, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
The solitary cat requires about seven miles of dense vegetation for its nocturnal hunting, making it particularly vulnerable to urban development, agriculture and transportation corridors, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
The ocelot is a midsize cat — larger than a house cat but smaller than a bobcat, according to the zoo. They develop much faster than larger cats; by age 2, the ocelot kitten will be fully independent.

Help the People and Pets of Hays County by Sharing Your Feedback
Hays County Pet Resource Center and Austin Pets Alive! Launch Community Survey
HAYS COUNTY – Calling all Hays County community members and animal lovers to participate in an important survey! Your participation will help guide the future of animal welfare in the area.
Hays County has partnered with non-profit organization Austin Pets Alive! to lead the development of a new animal shelter that will provide programs focused on public safety, animal safety and lifesaving, increased public access to important resources for pet owners, and community education to provide safe and humane care for pets. The survey launches September 1, and community participation will help determine programs for the Hays County Pet Resource Center.
“We want to know what the community’s needs are for people and pets,” said Lee Ann Shenefiel, Austin Pets Alive! Executive Advisor and Project Coordinator. “All survey responses will be looked at and considered, so this is an important opportunity for the community to share their input with us and drive the conversation from the beginning on what people and pets need in Hays County. ”
The project aims to implement recommendations from a 2022 feasibility study that proposed an animal welfare model for Hays County. This includes the construction of a new shelter designed to support 2000 dogs and cats annually, investment in robust community programs designed to reduce the number of animals coming into the shelter and help keep people and pets together, and a high-volume public veterinary clinic. Initial construction estimates are around $24 million.
The survey is open to participants through September 30 and is available in online and print formats in English and Spanish. Austin Pets Alive! is also looking for volunteers to attend local events promoting the Pet Resource Center. Volunteers will visit with local community partners to share information about the project, gather survey input, and input survey results. Training and community service hours are provided, and application fees are waived for Hays County volunteers. For more information or to sign up to volunteer, visit austinpetsalive.org/volunteer or email [email protected].
