NEW LOFTS

New Downtowners and investors love it when old historic and industrial buildings are converted from useless dilapidated structures into repurposed residential live/work lofts with open space, lots of oversized windows and natural light, in the best walking areas near shopping, dining, entertainment and transportation. From 2000 to 2014, more than 20 buildings were converted. But in the last 3 years, there have been only modern construction condos, along with thousands of new apartment rentals not available for purchase. The good news is that this trend is changing.

The most recent loft conversion was Barker Block Warehouse One in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. That was more than 3 years ago.

Where are the new Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles? When Barker Block Warehouse 1 opened in 2014, there was a mad rush on the very first day of sale, with more than 2,700 home seekers for less than 20 available units. The seller had a huge advantage.

While the neighborhood suffered from a glut of unsold properties 6 years ago, Downtown L.A. today is today experiencing a dramatic shortage with just a tiny inventory of affordable homes for sale. The lowest priced cool loft jus sold last month for $348,000 for 500 sq ft at the SB Grand lofts building. For slightly larger medium sized lofts, the cheapest entry level lofts have tripled in price from around $150,000 in 2011 to around $450,000 today. There is currently one loft that is 860 sq ft asking just $412,000 at the SB Grand.

Successful buyers today must take advantage of the most powerful strategies to find bargains around Downtown. Today’s smartest buyers check out the REO bank-owned foreclosures, short sales, distress sales, fixer uppers, raw lofts, as well as the nearby lofty condos and houses with character outside of Downtown LA. For those who want to live in the heart of Downtown, new construction and unlisted properties have most recently provided the best solution.

Downtown is so easy and affordable compared to some places. In West Los Angeles for example, investors will spend hundreds of thousands, sometimes more than a million dollars to remodel or tear down an existing home to make a profitable investment by creating a beautiful and popularly desirable home. The good news is that live/work lofts are much easier and cheaper to transform because the sturdy building does not need to be torn down or remodeled substantially.

Industrial live/work loft with filament lamps

In fact, decorating a drab loft and brightening up a dark condo are possibly the cheapest and most effective fixes that home buyers and investor can possible do. There are right ways and wrong ways to do them. For maximum return on investment, the lighting and decor should be picked out by a professional urban interior designer. #lofts #dtla #info

NO WINDOWS? NO PROBLEM

Whether a condo has big bright windows or no natural light at all, filament lamps with dark steel pipe conduit are perfect and popular today for most historic industrial lofts because, in addition to the remarkable historic-meets-modern design, the color and style match and blend in perfectly with existing concrete and exposed plumbing. Add track lighting and additional decorative lighting, and the natural light problem is successfully solved by the right solutions.

Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles are inherently very cool, hip and stylish due to their high ceilings, stand-out character and unique features, so the furniture and decor should match with an energetic vibe or urban chic theme. Prominent artwork, avant garde decor, cutting edge furnishings (economical buys from Ikea usually fit in just fine) and perhaps something whimsical or DTLA-practical such as a mounted bicycle would all fit perfectly in an historic or industrial residential interior. For dim lofts with insufficient natural light, skip the suburban Home Depot stock and instead upgrade to lighting from Restoration Hardware that will provide the substantial “WOW” factor required to make the awesome loft complete. While a loft with amazing views should be decorated with classy, minimalistic style so as not to distract from the views, lofts that lack a nice external view should be decorated fully with dramatic art, decorative furniture and awe-inspiring lighting that provide a rich, full and eye-delighting visual experience. For a few thousand dollars or less, the boring abode has been transformed into a compliment-inducing dream loft and wise investment.

LIGHTING FIXER ALERT

Here’s a loft that matches the perfect criteria for a superior investment: a neighborhood that is transforming from blight to luxury, and a loft unit that only needs some simple touches of an interior decorator and their lighting electrician to transform from boring to brilliant, from cave-like to captivating and from so-so buy to super successful investment:
