Adaptive Use Ordinance Created A Robust Residential Neighborhood In Los Angeles Financial District

655 South Hope Street In DTLA Financial District

The Financial District contains some of the city’s tallest skyscrapers, and other significant destinations and buildings, including Los Angeles Public Library, MCI Center, Aon Center, City National Bank Plaza, Figueroa at Wilshire, Citigroup Center, 611 Place, 7+Fig Shopping Center and the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. The Financial District is also home to the 7th St/Metro Center station, which is served by the Metro Rail Red Line and Blue Line.

Over the past couple of decades, the neighborhood has undergone a major revival, thanks in part to the introduction of the Adaptive Reuse Ordinance in 1999.  First targeted at downtown Los Angeles, and extended to other areas in the city in 2003, the ordinance made it easier, cheaper and faster for “older and historic” commercial buildings to be converted into lofts and apartments.
It resulted in the creation of thousands of housing units in downtown and a rush of people moving back to the area. In 2008 DTLA had a population of 34,811. In 2013 estimates put the residential population at 58,000 along with 500,000 jobs. Downtown is not just coming back, it has set a whole new paradigm.

Mills Act Higgins Building A Gem Of Early 20th Century

Mills Act Bonus at Higgns Lofts in DTLA

The landmark Higgins loft condominium building takes downtown history full circle. It was conceived in 1910 by copper tycoon Thomas Higgins and designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Architects Arthur L. Haley and A.C. Martin. Surrounding the building lay architectural masterpieces including the Caltrans headquarters, Historic LA Times building, City Hall, and the LAPD headquarters.  Owners have recently been hit by a repair charge to exterior decorations. The Higgins Building does have its benefits however in the form of Mills Act savings, and some sellers are actually paying the assessments so that the buyer might be spared a major unexpected expense.  Paying for repairs or making repairs for buyers is a well-tested element of an overall home sales plan.
Mills Act participants can realize very fruitful property tax savings. Tax savings vary by building and are based on the rental value of a given building.  Don’t
