Cleanup set to begin at downtown LA's 'graffiti towers'

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by KTTV, FOX 11 Los Angeles (KTTV) · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Graffiti removal at the Oceanwide Plaza "graffiti towers" could begin as early as Wednesday under the property's proposed new ownership.

Why this matters in The Los Angeles

The impending cleanup of the Oceanwide Plaza "graffiti towers" marks a significant step towards revitalizing a prominent downtown LA landmark. As the property changes hands, the new owners will likely face scrutiny from local residents and business owners who have grown weary of the building's neglected state. The removal of graffiti will not only improve the aesthetic appeal of the area but also contribute to a safer and more inviting environment for pedestrians and commuters. Downtown LA's ongoing efforts to redevelop and revitalize its public spaces will be closely tied to the success of this project, as the area continues to evolve and attract new investment and residents. The community will be watching to see how the new ownership plans to utilize the property and whether it will align with the city's broader vision for a more vibrant and connected downtown.
