Downtown Los Angeles Loft for Sale - The Mercantile Lofts
Once rentals, The Mercantile Lofts are now listed for sale! The units facing Main St. have huge windows and are the best feature of this building, in my opinion.
Many of the units are quite large and can be configured to meet a owner's particular needs. Current prices range from $295K for 629sf to $595K for 1,861sf
The location is good, just blocks from lots of restaurants, bars, entertainment and culture!
Contact me to see any of the available units. 213.321.5040

Buzz Wine Beer Shop in Downtown Los Angeles Now Open!
buzz wine beer shop is now open in downtown LA in the Rowan Lofts building at the corner of 5th and Spring Streets. I visited the store this morning for the first time since their opening eight days ago. I was greeted by Matt who was very good at explaining the store and all the cool and unique services. Two services that we loft dwellers might like the most are delivery and wine storage. Check with Matt, or any helpful employee, for details.
buzz offers a very good selection. I bought three Roses that I've never seen before. The South African Rose ( '09 Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rose) that I've opened is quite delicious. Prices are decent too, I might add.
If you're a downtown resident, be sure to visit buzz. If you're looking to move downtown, buzz wine beer shop might be a good indication of downtown's desirability.
buzz is open seven days a week, 11am to 2am! And, they deliver!

Vegan Chef, Tal Ronnen doesn't get to spend much time in his downtown LA loft
In this week's Food section of the LA Times, Tal Ronnen, the famous vegan chef, is the feature story. As a vegetarian, I had to read the article. I found it interesting that the story mentions that Tal lives in a downtown LA loft, especially since where he lives has nothing to do with his work as a vegan chef and vegan consultant.
I'm glad, though, that the writer made it part of the story because it points out that some really cool and creative people live in downtown LA!
Be sure to read the story. The recipes look delicious!
Maybe Tal will decide to open a vegan restaurant downtown. That would be terrific!

Downtown Los Angeles Loft for Sale - Biscuit Company Lofts
This classic 1925 brick building, once a cookie and cracker factory, was built in 1925 and designed by architects Eckel & Aldrich. The conversion to the Biscuit Company Lofts as work/live lofts in 2007 was completed exceptionally well, keeping many of the of original materials of the building, including maple flooring (now in common areas), terrazzo tile and industrial-size bronze windows. Other classic features are exposed brick walls, brass lamps, copper doors and two original Otis freight elevators!
This three level unit is bright and light with beautiful wood flooring, an open loft floor plan, but with private bedrooms. A versatile layout makes this loft an ideal work/live unit. The large lap (swimmer's) pool is just off the main level patio. A large balcony off the master suite has gorgeous views of the downtown skyline!
Church and State, a popular restaurant in the burgeoning downtown restaurant scene, is located at street-level of this historic building. For a private showing, contact me at 213.321.5040

Downtown LA is focused in Los Angeles Magazine
Los Angeles Magazine's July edition has a good spread on Downtown LA. It focuses on living, eating, shopping and playing downtown. Overall, it takes a good view of the city's center. Will we see more and more people moving downtown because of the continued good press?
