Perch is officially open!  It's a great space on the 15th and 16th floors offering panoramic views of old and new downtown LA.  It's a great new addition to the downtown food and bar scene.  I will certainly be going back!

Downtown Los Angeles Lofts for Sale - Pan American Lofts - $485,000.

I toured this penthouse loft in the Pan American Lofts yesterday.  The Pan American Lofts are located on Broadway at 3rd St., just north of the Grand Central Market and The Million Dollar Theatre.

Built in 1895 as the Byrne Building and designed by Summer P Hunt, the building is adorned with Ionic Columns and beautiful brickwork.  It's one of the Historic Core's finest classically designed buildings.

This loft is in the back of the building with views of the skyscrapers on Bunker Hill.  There are five windows on three walls.  There is also a window in the larger than average bathroom.

The sleeping quarters is up one flight of the spiral staircase.  The rooftop deck, my favorite thing about these units, is one more level up.  The sleeping quarters is good size and has carpet flooring.

The rooftop deck has splendid views of the downtown skyline, The Million Dollar Theatre, City Hall and the skylight on the Bradbury Building.  I can envision a wonderful space with potted plants to create some greenery and privacy.  There is water on the deck, so a lush space wouldn't be hard to create.

The loft has bamboo flooring, lots of exposed brick, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops.

If the rooftop deck has you excited, contact me for a showing.  213.321.5040

Downtown Los Angeles Lofts for Sale - Textile Building - $174,900.

I haven't seen this new listing in the Textile building at 8th St and Maple other than on the MLS, but when I saw it there, I had to put it on the blog!  I do plan on seeing it in person this week.

If you're not in need of a big space, or an extensive kitchen, this bright corner unit is certainly worth seeing! Notice the walls of large windows! The efficient space has polished concrete floors and a separate sleeping area.

The Textile building (built in 1925 as Lloyd & Casler's Textile Center Building) was designed by architect W. Douglas Lee. It's a gorgeous brick building with prominence in the neighborhood.

I believe this is a good deal for a space with such great light and outlook.  If you want to take a look, contact me.  213.321.5040

Downtown Los Angeles Lofts for Sale - The SkyLoft - $550,000.

I previewed this great loft in SkyLoft at 8th and Grand yesterday.  It's a great space with lots of natural light, views (from the 15th floor), two very spacious bathrooms and a more than ample kitchen.  The space is a true loft space in that there are no walls separating the sleeping quarters, but it's not "true loft" in the fact that all surfaces are finished.  Nicely so, I might add.  The floors are maple. Space is over 1300sf with two bedrooms and 2 baths. The master space has a huge master closet!

The location at 8th and Grand is close to the Ralph's Grocery Store and lots of restaurant choices and not too far from 7 Fig where the new Target will go in after the current renovations are complete.  This location is also quite close to the office skyscrapers, so it might be an ideal location for many.

If you're looking for an historical building, SkyLoft isn't right for you, but if you're looking for a loft space in a more modern building that's finished nicely, you should consider looking at this one!  Contact me for showings!  213.321.5040
