LA – That’s short for Los Angeles, spanish for The Angels. That should probably now be changed to The Dodgers, which would be Los Esquiveros in spanish.
The Downtown News has reported that 950 S. Broadway, the seven-story structure across from the Ace Hotel, has plans to be turned into 30 loft apartments, and will include a rooftop deck, as well as 7,500 square feet of retail space.
Designed by Killefer Flammang Architects, which has done many Downtown LA adaptive reuse projects, the plan is to restore the historic look of the original facade, namely by re-creating a decorative cornice along the roofline and adding some balconies. White plaster will replace today’s gray concrete surfacing on the exterior.
The 102-year-old building happens to sit in the Fashion District adjacent to Palmer’s under-construction Broadway Palace, which will create nearly 700 apartments in new seven- and 10-story structures at Olympic Boulevard and Broadway. A budget and construction timeline have not been revealed.

One of the most respected buildings in Downtown Los Angeles, 1100 Wilshire towers above its neighbors as it sits atop 17 floors of parking. Every single unit in the building offers a great view. Even the elevator gives a breathtaking view, as it is glass enclosed, making it feel like a ride at an amusement park, albeit more smooth of course.
Beneath you, the city stretches out as far as the eye can see. it’s not a view reserved only for those at the very top. it’s the view from every window of every residence. When you go for a dip in the pool, you have a better view than most people will ever see. you never scramble for parking; you’re above that, too. You are above every other condo, loft and apartment in downtown L.A.
You live a life beyond what you ever imagined it could be.
As you enter 1100 Wilshire: The soaring lobby, a hint of what’s to come. Deck 17: The ultimate wet bar, with the city at your feet. The view from your living room: Over-size windows let you take it all in. Residences at 1100 Wilshire start on the 17th floor, in a building built on the crest of a hill. no matter which floor you’re on, the view will take your breath away.
On Deck 17: There’s a spa, a nook with a fire pit, lots of private, furnished cabanas, stainless steel BBQ stations, wet bars. It feels like you’ve landed in a resort, not the overgrown wading pools that pass for rooftop aquatics in the average downtown L.A. building.
The condominiums at 1100 Wilshire has 37 floors. Most residences talk about their great views. Ours views stretch from Catalina to Echo park Lake. Natural light floods every residence by day. The night is a cascade of diamonds. Yet, for all this loftiness, we’re quite grounded: Our building’s base-its pedestal, contains the most coveted space in all of downtown: 12 levels of parking. To put it in perspective, when you live here, you have the equivalent of a 4-car garage. below that, shops, a business center and one of downtown’s best gyms.

Nor have we overlooked the view on the inside: It’s sleek. Modern. Dramatic (how could it not be, with 10’8″ ceilings?). The appointments themselves go well beyond the usual: Hardwood floors. European cabinetry. Granite countertops. Stainless steel appliances. All tied together with beautiful designer color palettes. Then there’s a central A/C and heat, and washer/dryers. Compare those to many downtown high-rises. Surprisingly, those go beyond the usual as well.
Care to start your day contemplating the Hollywood sign? Or watch the stars come out, with a view of Griffith Observatory? Dodger fans have the ultimate sky box.
