In 2004, Long Beach based developer Urban Pacific Builders undertook a $20 million  transformation of the Irvine Byrne building. A new roof was installed, the garage ceiling was heightened, and a new elevator shaft was built. The rows of offices were transformed  into chic, spacious loft units, each with 12′ to 17′ high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering timeless views of the Downtown landscape.  Loft residences are adorned with original exposed brick and concrete walls, plentiful natural light, high end stainless steel appliances.  With it’s ideal location in the Old Bank District of The Historic Core, walking distance to everything downtown has to offer, including the upcoming renovations of Grand Avenue, Urban Pacific has created an establishment that cannot be replicated.
