Cleanup set to begin at downtown Los Angeles' 'Graffiti Towers'

Summary by The Los Angeles Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Rachel Aragon, 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 Los Angeles location. As the property changes hands, the new owners will likely face scrutiny from local residents and business owners who have grown weary of the eyesore. The towers' notorious graffiti has become a symbol of neglect and disinvestment in the area, and their restoration could have a ripple effect on surrounding properties and local commerce. With the city's ongoing efforts to redevelop and revitalize its downtown core, the cleanup of the "graffiti towers" may signal a new era of investment and attention to this part of the city. As the cleanup begins, Angelenos will be watching to see if the new ownership can deliver on promises to restore the property to its former glory and contribute to the area's rebirth.
