Deeply rooted in the history of Downtown Los Angeles, The Rowan is an iconic loft residence that is a landmark of timeless elegance within the Old Bank District.  What started out as an office building in 1912 has been transformed into a 13-story living experience that still maintains the grandeur of yesteryear, while mixing in modern living.  One of the few buildings on the west coast to be constructed with a hollow clay tile arched floor system, the original steel structure has been retrofitted to meet modern earthquake standards.  When one enters the landmark, one can notice that the historic interior elements such as Carrara marble corridor walls, stairs and floors, oversized wood windows, and nickel silver detailed Art Deco elevator doors have been restored and preserved.  It is easy to spot with its ornate cast iron rosettes hanging from the building’s cornice while elegant glazed terra cotta panels sheathe the Beaux Arts style façade.  The Rowan houses 206 market-rate condo units. 

Some people might be happy with an apartment fitted out to look like a loft. Santee Village is for people who want the real thing. The Santee, The Eckardt and the Cornell are all historic manufacturing buildings with the classic concrete floors, oversized vintage industrial windows, open floor plans, high ceilings (10 - 14'), architectural concrete columns and all the rest you expect in a true loft.  Between the three buildings, there are 216 loft homes available.  Each Santee Village loft home has been artfully renovated to provide everything required for refined modern living while preserving all the classic vintage details.  Granite countertops, stainless steel Bosch appliances and Italian-style cabinetry grace the kitchen.  While 6-foot bathtubs and Italian-style cabinetry adorn the bathrooms.

Lee Homes and the CIM Group are once again breaking new ground with their Sky Lofts (a mixed-use commercial/retail/residential high-rise building) in the heart of South Park. This is the first-of-its-kind to be introduced to downtown Los Angeles that combines all three components.  The Sky Loft building is the third architectural success for this group.  Just a few short years ago, Lee Homes and The CIM Group converted the former UPS building at the corner of 11th and Flower Streets in downtown LA into chic urban lofts, Flower Street Lofts (which was an overnight success). Nearby they created Grand Lofts, a collection of 66 ultra-contemporary loft residences.  The team thus garnered the reputation as downtown LA’s 21st century pioneers. Now emerges the Sky Lofts, a 22-story building with 132 residential lofts with views of Downtown and the rest of Los Angeles.

Cutting-edge design and unmatched luxury can be fused with a historic 1920s building to create a post-urban retreat in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, and the Roosevelt does just that.  Originally completed in 1927, The Roosevelt is a registered historical landmark featuring Beaux Arts Classicism and Italian-Renaissance design influences.  The 15- story architecturally significant building still boasts dramatic arches, rusticated masonry and stunning architectural details that recall the grandeur of the distinguished department stores and city life on Seventh Street in the 1920s.  To this day the exterior and lobby feature mosaic floors and walnut woodwork, as well as cast stone details, stone quoins and multiple tall cornices that hearken back to a glamorous age when ornate fixtures and superior craftsmanship were the norm.
