Tower Records’ Former Sunset Store Headed For The Wrecking Ball?
A poster on the Velvet Rope found this piece of news in the latest e-newsletter from the mayor of West Hollywood:
8801 Sunset Blvd (Tower Records Site) – Request demolition of existing building, construction of new 52,000 square-foot commercial structure – 3 stories commercial, 3 stories above grade parking, 1 story below grade parking. Gym use (CUP), creative video sign (CSP), billboard permit.
No word on when the request goes up for approval, but given that the store won’t be coming back anytime soon, at least someone’s doing something with the space, and not just turning it into a rotating outpost for holiday-themed satellites of other chains. Or condos.
