FourFortyFour South Flower

FourFortyFour South Flower, formerly Citigroup Center, is a 627 ft 48-story skyscraper at 444 South Flower Street in the Bunker Hill area of downtown Los Angeles, California. At the time of its completion, in 1981, the tower was the fifth-tallest in the city.

History
The structure was developed by the Rockefeller Group and designed by Albert C. Martin & Associates. It opened in 1981 as the Wells Fargo Building. In 2003, Beacon Capital Partners purchased the property, then known as Citicorp Center, for US$170 million from Meiji Seimei Realty (USA) and Grosvenor USA Ltd. The building was owned by Broadway Partners Fund Manager, LLC from December 2006 to September 2009. Coretrust Capital Partners acquired the property in November 2016 for $336 million. Citigroup exited the building in 2018 and moved to the nearby 1 Cal Plaza building.

FourFortyFour South Flower is home to one of the largest public art collections in Los Angeles. When the building was constructed, five internationally recognized artists were enlisted to create public works that are represented throughout the gallery.
