Eastern Columbia staff answer questions for the court during the Depp-Heard defamation trial.

EASTERN COLUMBIA FOR SALE    |    FOR LEASE    |    UNLISTED    |    SOLD

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — Taking center stage in the sensational trial about slander and spousal abuse among married A-list celebrities, the building that the attorneys call “ECB” is the famous historic art deco masterpiece landmark Eastern Columbia Building located at 849 Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles. This is because actor Johnny Depp owned several of the penthouses on the top floor of the notable live/work loft condominiums. Other residents report that they rarely heard a peep out of the Depp penthouses. Johnny was usually out of town filming, promoting and traveling. Depp eventually sold the properties upon the divorce, presumably to pay for divorce costs, spousal support and legal expenses. Some of the units still contain the creative interior design touches of talented artist Depp, which you can see in the tour video of the unit.

As homeowners of the Mills Act qualified building in the Historic Core of DTLA, Eastern Columbia loft condo owners receive substantial benefits in the form of reduced property taxes to help keep the antique architecture maintained in its original form of glorious splendor.

The trial video featuring Amber, friends, police officers and Eastern Columbia staff in the building lobby and elevator can be viewed at https://youtu.be/W_AsUg1ss6g?t=3m02s

In another video, Depp takes great pleasure in helping an artist by providing patronage and luxury accommodations at the Eastern Columbia. He speaks out against Amber Heard’s angry taunting of a frequently drunken Depp. We wish Depp and others a much happier, healthier future after their legal ordeal is resolved. The positive influence of Johnny will always be felt in the Eastern Columbia penthouses.

Rich, Middle Class and Poor: Nobody Safe in Los Angeles

REAL ESTATE NEWS (Los Angeles, CA) — From Downtown L.A. to Beverly Hills, crime and violence escalate to dramatic proportions. According to many cops of the Los Angeles Police Department, the department has insufficient numbers of police officers to handle all of the crime in Los Angeles. The result: even the wealthiest of citizens are today subject to being staked out by robbers, followed and attacked by organized criminals, petty thieves and burgeoning gangs with guns. In a big city like Los Angeles, victims can suddenly feel all alone and helpless when their number’s up. Calls to 911 often take 15-20 minutes or more as frantic callers are placed on hold, transferred or ignored. Police usually don’t arrive until it is too late.

In one recent follow-home robbery caught on video in broad daylight, thieves chase a frightened woman into the street in Downtown Los Angeles, then run her down with their car, in an all-out effort to steal her Rolex watch. More than a dozen gangs roam L.A. looking for those wearing expensive jewelry, driving high-end cars, leaving expensive shops or upscale restaurants. It’s open season on the wealthy of Los Angeles.

A few months ago, someone murdered a young lady named Heidi Planck, and put her body down the trash shoot of the Hope + Flower apartments at 12th and Hope St tower Downtown Los Angeles. Her labradoodle dog was later found in Flower tower. Police say that there may be some kind of cover-up due to strange unexplained details, and could be related to a Wall Street scandal that Heidi may have been entangled with. She apparently had a history of drug abuse, an affinity for spy adventures, a mysterious luxury lifestyle far above her means, and recent erratic behaviors. It turned out hat Heidi was either taking some serious drugs, involved in serious crimes, quite mentally ill or all of the above. Nevertheless, she did not deserve to be murdered.

We’ve also received reports that an armed robbery occurred last week, as robbers accosted a woman to take jewelry, in or near Hope + Flower.
