Mercantile-Lofts-ext-2With architectural reminders of its genuine vintage past, the Historic Core has become one of the most sought after neighborhoods of the re-emergent Downtown L.A . Located on Main Street, between 6th and 7th Street, The Mercantile Lofts is central to Downtown’s plentiful restaurants, shops, famous pubs, entertainment and transportation. The Artisan House bar, restaurant and market delivers food and drinks. Around the corner is Cole’s French Dip, one of the oldest operating restaurants in Los Angeles. It contains a speakeasy right out of 1920’s prohibition era, now perfectly legal, but with the lingering excitement of its secret past.

Industrial Loft two-story NY style Live/work loft
The building has a colorful past, giving it added texture and nuance today. Constructed in 1925, the building served as the Fuller Paint Company Warehouse for decades. Now, that same address is an important example of how adaptive reuse can artfully blend old and new to offer the best in contemporary living and still preserve a proud industrial heritage.
Building highlights include original four-story structure capped with two stories of newly constructed penthouse lofts, as well as direct-access, gated parking structure for residents and guests. Floor to ceiling industrial windows, along with retrofitted with dual panes are accompanied by exposed beam and ductwork. The exterior features fully landscaped open air courtyard and paseo, a fifth floor deck, and original concrete pillars throughout building.
The structure is a study in contrasts. The exterior features both neo-classic and contemporary touches. Inside, the same dichotomy holds with structural elements from the 1920s co-existing with modern kitchens, bathrooms and state-of-the-art sectional overhead doors. It’s an ideal mix, resulting in one-of-a-kind living spaces that radiate with light, energy and creativity.
Details matter here, cabinets, fixtures — each has been carefully selected to work together to create a welcoming and inspiring living environment. The building also features amazing unobstructed views of Downtown, Elysian Park and surrounding communities. It is an historic building with original architectural elements and two new modern penthouse floors. The ownership of lofts includes designated parking in gated and adjacent garage.
The bottom level is made up of 2-story and 3-story lofts. The center of the building was cut out for the restoration to add light, air and openness to the building and loft units.
