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.

Nightlife
Downtown used to close up at 6:00 PM, but not anymore. When the sun sets, the excitement rises.
Whether it’s salsa dancing at the Mayan, martinis at LA’s hottest rooftop bar, The Standard (and don’t sweat parking, it’s 3 blocks from your door), or partying into morning at those secret after-hours clubs that only downtowners know about, you can join the A-listers where the action is.
New hot-spots are constantly arising (like the recently arrived Gavin’s) and the best nightlife in town just keeps getting better.
Sports & Recreation
If you want to watch great athletes up close, you’re in the right spot. Major League Baseball is just to the north at Dodgers Stadium. Football is just to the south at USC, NBA basketball, NHL hockey, boxing and more are even closer at Staples Center.
The 24-hour in-building fitness room will offer workout time on your schedule. You can have you own holiday on ice during winter with ice skating (that’s right!) in nearby Pershing Square.
Close to venues for Live Theater, Opera, and Ballet. Art museums and hip galleries. Music from the classics to experimental that’s beyond the cutting edge…
Downtown’s the arts center of LA and just blocks from 655 Hope Lofts. The premier theater venues of The Ahmanson and the Mark Taper Forum stand close by the opera and ballet palace, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

Architectural Heritage
LA’s architectural signature, the City Hall tower, looks down on a rich field of historical and fascinating buildings.
The landmark Central Library is just around the corner. The Financial District preserves some of LA’s classic 1920’s buildings. Art deco flourishes greet the eye on practically every block. Broadway’s preserved movie palaces are a wonder to behold. The futuristic freedom of the shining Disney Concert Hall always amazes the gaze.
For an ‘insider’s tour,’ surprise your visitors with the Bradbury Building, whose drab brick exterior conceals an interior gem of unique fin-de-siecle design.
Transportation
Up to now, very few of our buyers thought of giving up their cars to commute to work but with the Metro under their building, getting a ride to Korea Town, China Town, Universal City, Hollywood, Pasadena, and Long Beach Harbor for $1.25 sounds really appealing: no more driving in peak hours, no more worrying about drinking and driving, and no more parking issues.
And, how about the Metro link system to spend a weekend in Santa Barbara, San Diego or even San Francisco. It just keeps getting better. You could be reading the paper or a book while others are wearing out their brakes.
