Built in 1966, at 32 stories with a height of 377 feet it is the tallest residential building in the city. It is topped with a distinctive tower antenna with three-point upswept base. The circular tower structure was the first major building in the United States to be designed using a computer. It is located at 1722 South Carson Avenue.
