9800 Wilshire underwent a sophisticated transformation led by Belzberg Architects/BA Collective, with structural collaboration from LFA. The 40,000 SF, three-story office building was reimagined to enhance both form and function.

LFA’s structural expertise supported the installation of a complex new façade, a sweeping curved steel rooftop canopy, and a comprehensive seismic upgrade. Careful analysis of the as-built conditions ensured architectural ambitions were met with precision and structural integrity. The renovation also included extensive interior remodeling, featuring an open central atrium and sculptural staircase that fosters interaction and connectivity. Outside, the slumped glass façade enhances aesthetics while optimizing natural light and privacy.
