FLOWER STREET LOFTS 1130 S Flower St, Los Angeles, CA 90015

Flower Street Lofts Downtown Los Angeles 1130 South Flower Street, 90015

The Flower Street Lofts is located at 1130 South Flower Street, in the heart of the South Park district in downtown Los Angeles, across the from the world renowned Staples Center and the L.A. Live entertainment complex. FSL blends the best of the city’s energetic future and respect for the past into 91 loft-style live-work condominiums in the historic 1936 United Parcels Service (UPS) building.

Opened in the fall of 2003, Flower Street Lofts features over 12 distinct floor plans, which range from 1,315 sqft to 2,410 sqft, as well as the tallest residential ceiling heights in the area (from 14′ to 20′ high). Generous sunlight shines through the expansive windows which were a reflection of the original UPS building with views east, west and north. Each unit is equipped with gourmet kitchens, stone countertops, well-appointed bathrooms, and state-of-the-art wiring for high speed internet.

Behind these first-of-their-kind lofts are the two leading urban development teams; the Lee Group (Grand Lofts, Sky Lofts, and Bay City Lofts); and the Cim Group (Santa Monica Third Street Promenade, historic Gas Company Lofts, Old Town Pasadena, and the Gas Lamp district in downtown San Diego). In 2006, the two developers opened the Ralph’s supermarket, downtown’s first in over 50 years, just two blocks north.

The Flower Street Lofts has received numerous design awards and recognition, including two Golden Nugget awards and the 2004 architectural award winner by the Los Angeles Business Council.

The United Parcels Service (UPS) building was built in 1936 and serviced Central City (downtown Los Angeles) and the surrounding neighborhoods for over forty years. Originally only three-stories high (Flower Street Lofts features a new fourth floor penthouse level constructed on top of the existing structure), the building was the main distribution source for all packages coming into Los Angeles, as well as the garage for their famous brown trucks. it also housed the executive offices for the West Coast division and their main accounting department.

Customers could drop off/pick up packages at the main lobby located in the southwest corner of the building, or trucks from the various suburban stations would drive into the complex through the alleyway entrance. Once inside, the packages would be unloaded onto a slide where hand sorters would take and place them on 11 various conveyor belts which distribute the packages to various areas of the building. Seven of the conveyor belts led directly to large transfer cars that would travel to their suburban stations, while the other four would lead to separate city stations where they were marked and sorted for individual delivery. The loaded cars would then leave via the two-way ramp on the north side of Flower Street. Not to be burdened by the stresses of work, drivers and employees enjoyed a roof top recreation room complete with lawn chairs and a ping pong table.

In the heart of the South Park district in downtown Los Angeles, Flower Street Lofts is a walk away from world class sporting events, concerts, clubs, restaurants, shopping, theatre, museums and galleries. Across the street from the Staples Center, catch a Lakers, Clippers, Kings, or Sparks game, or one of the numerous concerts and celebrity-packed events including the Grammy’s and Emmy’s. Enjoy a five star meal at the adjacent Palm Restaurant or one of over two dozen other critically acclaimed eateries just within a block’s radius including Rivera, WP24, Flemings, and Katsuya. Spend the day at the L.A. Central Library or Museum of Modern Art, and the night hopping galleries in downtown’s popular art walk. Attend a concert in the breath-taking Walt Disney Concert Hall, and sip martinis afterwards with other downtowners at your choice of rooftop lounges like the Standard Hotel, Elevate Lounge, or Ion Bar at L.A. Live.

If adventure is your game, the Los Angeles Public Transportation System can take you everywhere without stepping foot in your car. The adjacent Metro Blue Line can take you as far south as Long Beach or up to Union Station where you can transfer to the Gold Line north to Old Town Pasadena; the Expo Line as far west as Culver City; and the Red Line subway to Hollywood and Universal Citywalk.

Loft Rentals: How to find and rent a loft in Downtown Los Angeles

For Lease: Individually Owned Lofts or Managed Communities?

by Corey Chambers, Lofts Downtown Los Angeles

For those searching for lofts to rent, this article will help prevent frustration by making the Downtown loft search easier.  It will save time and money by helping to find hidden loft bargains.  It will reveal a method of getting three months of searching done in about three hours.  Lower rents, lower deposits, nicer selection of lofts can all come into sight when one is aware of unadvertised, unlisted, hard-to-find lofts.

Of the 160 residential properties in Downtown L.A., about 60 of them are loft-style condominium buildings with individually owned units.  The other 100 or so buildings are apartments and other managed communities with loft units.  The managed communities usually have leasing offices, while the individually-owned lofts generally do not.

The managed communities and owner listings will only push their own units, while a listing by a real estate agent can lead to additional services such as offering to show several different buildings in a desired price range during the same appointment. A loft specialist Realtor® provides pros and cons on each one.  By knowing the positives and negatives up front, one can often make a better decision in advance, without needing to learn tough lessons after moving in.  The real estate agent may provide a warning in advance about which buildings have thin walls and noise problems, higher crime rates, issues with maintenance and management, etc.  The Realtor® can also provide a comparison of which might be the better value. The agent can often provide applications for more than one unit, and sometimes save the applicant money by only charging for one credit report for multiple applications.

Downtown Los Angeles is like a glazed donut in the shape of its neighborhoods.  The outer edges are the preferred areas, while the “hole” in the center is Skid Row, where many new residents try to avoid.  A Realtor® can help guide newcomers to the right neighborhoods.  Some prospective residents prefer the new, upscale neighborhood of South Park, while others like the raw, industrial feel of lofts buildings in the Arts District.  Many prefer to be in a neighborhood such as the Old Bank District where they can walk to their favorite stores, restaurants and entertainment, while others prefer to drive to most places.  The more isolated neighborhoods usually offer larger loft units, along with better parking situations such as free guest parking on the street.

Most real estate agents will show only the individually owned lofts because they get paid a commission after the client finds the right place.  When asked, the agent will usually not show a building with a leasing office because the management will usually not pay the agent anything.  The agent will tell the client that the individually owned lofts are better because they are largely owner-occupied with residents who are better neighbors.  The other side of the argument is that the leasing communities can provide twice as many units to choose, from often for less money than the individually owned lofts.

Many loft-seekers prefer to be fully informed of all of the bargains in Downtown living, including the condo lofts, hard-to-find managed community lofts and unadvertised bargains in Downtown.  Some have budgets under $1,750, and therefore need to see more loft units in a specific price range.  They can get a private tour with a licensed Downtown real estate specialist, and the tour will only include properties that match specific search criteria.
