Real Estate News – New Condominiums to Open For Sale Soon

The L.A. Loft Blog is not affiliated with River House

New information has been released with details on the new River House condos now completing construction on the Los Angele River in the Elysian Valley, also known as Frog Town.

It is described as an eclectic collection of 56 stylish townhomes and flats (so far, see nothing eclectic, townhome-like nor flat-like as the construction continues to look more like a common, albeit new, apartment-style condo complex). We certainly agree that River House offers the chance to be part of history in the making as the residents will be among the first to witness first hand the revitalization of the LA River. The Los Angeles River is in the preliminary planning stages of a possible $25 billion facelift.

Just steps away from a popular new bicycle path and kayaking area of the river, the new condominiums are also next to the large, new Marsh Park.

The community will feature contemporary industrial inspired exterior finishes with metal siding accents and custom designed ornamental iron; outdoor fireplace at deck level complemented with several seating and gathering areas; landscaping at the deck level in self-watering pots, water-conscious landscaping and natural surfaces at ground level areas; landscape features, barbeques and an outdoor fireplace; water feature at the ground level area along the river; energy-efficient lighting throughout the common areas; shade sails in the courtyard; gated underground parking garage; EV electric vehicle charging stations; guest parking and state-of-the-art entry access system.

The residential units will include central heating & air with state-of-the-art thermostat control unit; low E dual-glazed windows; Cat5 e and RG6 communications package structured to accommodate service by Time Warner and Direct TV; spacious 9 foot ceilings; extensive use of energy-saving LED lighting throughout; ceiling fans with lights in all bedrooms; contemporary industrial style accent lighting in kitchen and bath; humidistat-controlled bath ventilation; designer-selected paint throughout; contemporary square-nose drywall corners; light orange peel finish on the walls with a light knockdown texture on the ceiling; contemporary slab-style front door; Masonite West End Collection interior doors; engineered wood, tile and carpet flooring per plan; decorative 2-inch horizontal blinds throughout; walk-in closets in bedrooms per plan; smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with battery back-up.

Los Angeles Lofts

In the City of Los Angeles, Downtown has the greatest concentration of industrial and commercial loft conversions. The word LOFT can refer one of three different things: a conversion of an old business building into modern residences; a new construction with open floor plan, high ceilings and exposed plumbing; or a modern condo or single family residence with extra high ceilings and an open mezzanine area upstairs.

The Adaptive Reuse Ordinance has become one of the most significant incentives related to historic preservation in Los Angeles, facilitating the conversion of dozens of historic and under-utilized structures into new housing units, mostly live-work lofts. The ordinance was originally approved in 1999 for downtown Los Angeles and was extended into other neighborhoods of the city in 2003.

Lofts in Los Angeles are usually measured by their square footage rather than by bedrooms because they usually do not have bedrooms. Most lofts are all open with no bedroom door. Some lofts do have a traditional bedroom with a door, or occasionally several bedrooms. Many lofts have either a natural separation of the bed area, such as around a corner, or else sometimes a loft-style bedroom has been created with partitions, furnishings, partial wall, short wall or sliding glass doors. Frosted glass is often used for its ability to transmit light into and out of the bedroom while giving privacy. Other lofts have no separation of the bed area, and the bed might be right next to the front door, or even next to the refrigerator, common at the Elleven lofts building.

Because lofts are basically just a big open box, furniture, decor and finish make the difference between a plain loft, an upscale chic loft or an artistic masterpiece. Of the approximately 2,500 new Downtown residents per year, most are choosing industrial and commercial live/work lofts with open space, lots of windows and natural light, in walking distance to lots of dining, shopping and entertainment. Small rooms are out, and wood or polished concrete floors are preferred.

In addition to Downtown L.A., other nearby neighborhoods with lofts include Lincoln Heights, Silver Lake, South Pasadena, Pasadena and Hollywood.
