Loft Rentals – Renting is all the rage for those who prefer instant gratification, freedom and cash liquidity. Renting is especially desirable when it’s a spacious modernized historic or industrial loft rather than an ordinary apartment.

Currently, this zig zag moderne landmark condo loft building on Los Angeles’ list of historic and cultural monuments, enjoys Mills Act property tax benefits, and provides buyers a timeless setting for urbane living. ¨Spacious, sophisticated, urbane: each of Eastern Columbia’s 147 loft condominiums juxtapose luxurious contemporary upgrades and classic period details.

Directed by internationally acclaimed interior designer Kelly Wearstler Interior Design (kwid) and award-winning architectural firm Killefer Flammang Architects, the detailed redesign brought new polish to Eastern Columbia’s faceted beauty.
Eastern Columbia Building Entrance
“Eastern Columbia, Broadway at Ninth” – over several decades, the city’s airwaves chimed this jingle to advise Los Angeles shoppers of new arrivals and special offers at Downtown’s flagship department store. For years the tallest building on the area skyline, the Eastern Columbia Outfitting Company opened on September 12, 1930. ¨Perhaps Los Angeles’ finest example of the Art Deco era’s zig zag moderne style, the Claude Beelman-designed tower has long captivated arts and architecture scholars. Faced in turquoise terra cotta and trimmed with deep blue and gold terra cotta, the tower’s façade features sunburst patterns, geometric shapes, zigzags, chevrons and other stylized motifs. A four-sided clock tower emblazoned in neon with the name EASTERN caps its thirteen stories.
Eastern Columbia Lobby
After retail operations ceased in 1957, Eastern Columbia was transformed into studio and office space for local garment businesses and arts organizations. Among the tenants: the Los Angeles Conservancy and West Coast swimwear icon Jantzen. In fact, just up until residential conversions began, a fashion runway blazed through the building’s eleventh floor.
¨The Historic Core¨ Loosely outlined by 3rd Street on the north edge, 10th Street to the south, Hill to the west and Main to the east, the Historic Core was the cradle of early Los Angeles commerce and entertainment. A frequent backdrop for film sets, the area’s lofty Victorian, Beaux Arts and Art Deco buildings instantly telegraph urban history and culture. But it’s at the pedestrian level that the Historic Core truly reveals its deep roots – and its rising outlook. Along Broadway, retailers vend diverse wares at Grand Central Market and the Arcade building, and vintage movie palaces host concerts and dance clubs.
¨THE KOR GROUP ¨An innovative presence in the real estate and travel communities, the Kor Group is redefining the concept of home with its distinctive hotel and residential properties. ¨Every Kor development reinterprets the modern day environment, blending the comforts of home, business necessities and leisure amenities in unique settings. Starting with Beverly Hills’ Avalon Hotel in 1998, Kor Hotel Group continues to craft a rare array of boutique hotels consistently singled out for praise in such influential publications as CondéNast Traveler and Travel + Leisure. ¨That success extends to Kor’s residential projects. Respect for the historic character of landmark buildings and their local legacies guides Kor’s redevelopment approach; insight into modern residents’ desires for a luxurious yet relaxed lifestyle underscores the design process. The result: personal spaces at sought-after addresses, rich in classic and vintage elements, up-to-the-moment conveniences and inspired interior design.

Do you have a vision that you will be a pioneer in the next great place? Are you ready to get there now? The new loft building was named one of ten best real estate deals. With FHA financing (may need to be re-initiated), the place offers the creative person the rare opportunity to own a genuine loft in an historic building, often FHA loans that can be as little as 3.5% down. Not only does that make it possible to own a chic loft in the Downtown L.A. area, but the FHA financing adds tremendous monetary investment value. What is easy to finance for purchase is also easy to sell, thus pushing up the value of the property more and more over time. Being the only genuine loft with FHA financing, loft units in the building can be a superior investment. SPECIAL UPDATE – FHA and VA financing has generally not been effective for condominiums in Los Angeles. Get FHA/VA details at https://www.laloftblog.com/?s=fha.
The eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and cafes of historic Lincoln Heights brings a true community vibe to the new lofts. Adding to the neighborhood’s appeal is its close proximity to Los Angeles’ most popular destinations. Dodger stadium, Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA and Downtown’s financial center are all just minutes away. With convenient access to three major highways and a nearby Gold Line stop, Pasadena, Glendale and Los Feliz are also easily accessible.

The building has a colorful past, giving it added texture and nuance today. Constructed in 1925, the building served as the Fuller Paint Company Warehouse for decades. Now, that same address is an important example of how adaptive reuse can artfully blend old and new to offer the best in contemporary living and still preserve a proud industrial heritage.
Building highlights include original four-story structure capped with two stories of newly constructed penthouse lofts, as well as direct-access, gated parking structure for residents and guests. Floor to ceiling industrial windows, along with retrofitted with dual panes are accompanied by exposed beam and ductwork. The exterior features fully landscaped open air courtyard and paseo, a fifth floor deck, and original concrete pillars throughout building. Historic high, board-formed concrete ceilings denote the first through fourth floors, as new-construction steel now forms the fifth and sixth floors.
The structure is a study in contrasts. The exterior features both neo-classic and contemporary touches. Inside, the same dichotomy holds with structural elements from the 1920s co-existing with modern kitchens, bathrooms and state-of-the-art sectional overhead doors. It’s an ideal mix, resulting in one-of-a-kind living spaces that radiate with light, energy and creativity.

BUYER TESTIMONIAL:
… a giant space for nearly a third of most lofts from Venice to Downtown. We also appreciated it being an FHA building… Our space is perfectly suitable for our needs. Everyone we worked with to get our place was very kind and helpful with no pressure. That was very important to us! NO PRESSURE! And we had many models to chose from, so we were able to find the best fit for us! Plus, everyone that has moved in thus far is wonderful and friendly. – Brian L. Jacobs
