Koreatown | Walker Tower Conversion Brings 495 Apartments to 3550 Wilshire Boulevard
Koreatown‘s glass‑tower at 3550 Wilshire Boulevard has begun its next chapter. A July 2025 permit issued by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety authorizes owner Jamison Services to convert the entire 20‑story office tower—completed in 1968 as Paramount Plaza—into housing. Plans prepared by Rockefeller Partners Architects call for 495 apartments carved out of the existing floor plates, with no addition to the building’s height or overall square footage.
