Oceanwide Plaza is an unfinished residential and retail complex composed of three towers in downtown Los Angeles, California, across the street from Crypto.com Arena and the Los Angeles Convention Center.[2] The complex, designed by CallisonRTKL, is owned by the Beijing-based developer Oceanwide Holdings.

Construction began in 2015 but stopped when Oceanwide Holdings ran out of funds in 2019.[3] It is unknown when the complex will open; development has been beset by financing problems related to ongoing geopolitical tensions between the US and China.[4][5][6] In late January-early February 2024, at least 27 floors of multiple towers at the complex were tagged with graffiti.[7]
