At the beginning of the 20th century, Michael J. Connell established the first garment and textile manufacturing buildings launching the Fashion District of downtown Los Angeles. Each of these heavy, concrete-frame buildings reflects a distinctive architectural style through its decorative façade and oversized, industrial loft windows, both typical design features of the time.  MJW Investments purchased the buildings in 1998 and since committed its energies and efforts into reinventing these unique architectural landmarks.  Santee Court is the largest adaptive reuse project currently under way in the City of Los Angeles. It will transform nine historic garment buildings on the northern edge of the Fashion District into a contemporary downtown neighborhood.  Each building has been designated a local historic monument due to its significance as a social and architectural representation of industrial Downtown Los Angeles. 

Santee Court's units offer 12-14' ceilings, oversized industrial windows, polished concrete floors, and gourmet kitchens and bathrooms.  All brand new appliances, cherry wood cabinets, granite countertop, deep stainless steel sinks, polished stone bathtub/shower enclosure and 6' bathtubs add a modern touch to the historic place.  As another incentive, Santee Court residents get a discount on LA Athletic Club membership fees.
