Project Overview

The Bank of America Plaza stands as one of downtown Los Angeles' most recognizable landmarks. This 55-story Class A office tower required a comprehensive exterior restoration to maintain its prestigious appearance and protect against weathering from coastal conditions.

Our team was selected for this high-profile project based on our extensive experience with high-rise buildings and proven track record in downtown Los Angeles. The project demanded meticulous planning, advanced access systems, and coordination with building operations to minimize disruption to the building's prominent tenants.

Working at heights up to 800 feet above street level, our specialized crews employed swing stage systems and comprehensive safety protocols to deliver exceptional results on schedule. The project was completed in seven months with zero safety incidents and zero tenant complaints—a testament to our professionalism and operational excellence.
