"Downtown LA Skyscraper Graffiti: Daredevils, Vandals, and Arrests"

Daredevil graffiti artists were captured on video walking on the ledge of the abandoned Oceanwide Plaza in Los Angeles, covering 27 floors with colorful tags. The $1 billion project was left incomplete in 2019, and the graffiti artists claimed they were inspired by a similar project in Miami and accessed the building due to lack of security. The Los Angeles Police Department is collaborating with district representatives to secure the property and remove the graffiti.

"Vandals Tag 27 Floors of Abandoned LA Skyscraper Ahead of Grammys"

Taggers have decorated an abandoned $1 billion LA skyscraper complex with graffiti just days before the Grammys, marking at least 25 floors with street artists' designs. The unoccupied Oceanwide Plaza, which has been empty for over five years, has become a canvas for taggers, with some leaving personal tags while others spelled out phrases. Despite the police detaining some taggers, an invitation had been shared for people to put their mark on the buildings, and witnesses have reported seeing individuals from out of state coming to paint there. Law enforcement is working with property managers to secure the area and remove the graffiti, while construction on the complex has been stalled since 2019.

"27-Story DTLA High-Rise Vandalized by Taggers"

Taggers openly added graffiti to a partially completed skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, covering at least 27 floors of the building, which sits across from the site of the upcoming Grammy Awards. The $1-billion Oceanwide Plaza project has been stalled since 2019, and the lack of security has allowed taggers to access the site freely. Despite the vandalism, some view the graffiti as a way for people to use neglected spaces and make the city feel more "human" again.
