Four prestigious developers are now vying for the rights to build a skyscraper on the site of the abandoned Angels Knoll Park in Downtown Los Angeles.

The city selected them to redevelop the site — now called “Angels Landing” — from a previous pool of 10 applicants. The site was transferred to the city after its previous owner the Community Redevelopment Agency shuttered in 2014, the Los Angeles Downtown News reported.

Lowe Enterprises, developer of the Garey Building in the Arts Distric — paired with architecture firm Gensler — is one of the finalists to make the cut.

Canadian developer Onni Group — prolific in DTLA as of late, and currently working on the development of Times Mirror Square — also made the list, paired with San Francisco’s Natoma Architects.
