Downtown Los Angeles Condos and Lofts That Provide Parking for Guests

The Little Tokyo Lofts Provide Guest parking soon to be in short supply in LA Buildings

Buildings in Downtown LA are growing up taller. They might also include less parking. A draft set of development guidelines for Downtown, released by the city, is testing the waters for eliminating the requirement that developers put parking in new apartment and condo buildings. In all of Los Angeles, when a new building goes up it’s required to have a certain number of parking spaces. A figure based on the building’s use—residential buildings, Like Little Tokyo Lofts, 420 San Pedro St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, for example, have to have between one and two parking spaces per apartment or condo, depending on the number of bedrooms in each unit. That opens up the availability for free guest parking in legacy buildings over new construction based on the plan in these draft rules.

Much of the housing Downtown is aimed at the higher end of the luxury loft market and those households are likely to have cars and want to store them. Without parking minimums, developers could work out arrangements to use existing parking spaces in nearby garages to meet that need without having to build new parking spaces. The challenge will be seeing if DTLA loft will want to live where guest parking and regular parking are not part of the building.

The draft version of the Downtown plan has a way to go before it’s put into action. If approved with the elimination of parking minimums, it would be the first community plan in LA to do so.

Downtown Los Angeles Lofts with parking Parking is by far the most mentioned request either on site or nearby. Off-Street, secure and accessible 24 hours. Don’t discount an otherwise perfect building for lack of parking. Your agent will be able to search for available parking within a block or two that could suit your needs. Even Doris Day did not always get to park in front.

Secure Parking with an assigned off street location is an ideal amenity to seek out

Lofts with Gyms in DTLA Just like location is the most important aspect of real estate, convenience is the cornerstone of a gym. On-site fitness centers make skipping your fitness routine almost impossible. It may not be the biggest or the best-outfitted gym but being on-site makes it easy to get your steps in or like Hans and Franz, pump you up. As James Clear says in Atomic Habits “Make the hard things easy and the easy things hard” when forming good habits like working out regularly. #entarlovesyou

DTLA Lofts with on-site pools An outdoor space with a pool is inviting and fun. You may not be a Tokyo Bound Olympic swimmer but catching some sun by the pool is a relaxing way to meet your neighbors or convent for entertaining friends and family from out of town. Are you a toe dipper or an all-at-once off diving board kind of gal?

Luxury Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles tend to have at least one if not all three of these popular amenities and more If not on-site than nearby. The Biscuit loft for example has a shared fitness center across the street. And some other Loft buildings don’t have parking on site but as we said your clever agent will make it work by finding something nearby. #luxurylofts
