MCI Center is a 126.3 m (414 ft) skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, California, United States.
The MCI Center is a Class A building, with 63,032 m2 (678,470 sq ft) of office space with a glass atrium and courtyard.
In 2013, the Ratkovich Company acquired the property, and after a redesign by Johnson Fain Architects, renamed the plaza “The Bloc.” Originally known for the fortress-like facade, the ground level was opened up and made more pedestrian friendly by removing the original brick walls and the glass atrium.
The redevelopment features a below grade open public plaza that directly connects to the 7th Street / Metro Center Station.
Filming was done over two nights in March, 1974, and centered mainly around the lower level atrium plaza area, and the escalators on the Sheraton Hotel entrance to the building.
