A Tale of Two Condos – Contrasting Traditional and Industrial Home Styles

Recently, some clients were discussing and comparing two nearby buildings in the Arts District, both along Alameda Street by the most popular part of Little Tokyo. These are two different types of condominiums that are not usually enjoyed by the same kind of people. Both have condo units for sale and for lease, but it’s like comparing apples and oranges, so lets enjoy delving into the big differences. #artsdistrict #condos

Beacon Lofts is an historic industrial loft building, while Savoy, a block away, is a modern construction traditional condominium complex. Right off the bat, those who want more traditional comforts will prefer The Savoy while those who want industrial character will certainly like Beacon Lofts better.

While most of our loft specialist team’s clients have preferred Beacon Lofts, a recent LA Loft Blog reader and rental-seeker recently chose the Savoy Condominiums at 100 S Alameda Street because she felt that a one bedroom with an actual door is preferable. The delineation of space also makes it feel bigger and more homey to her. She mentioned that a lack of closet and/or storage space at the nearby Beacon loft would be a huge issue for her and her boyfriend, and that the balcony with extra storage space at Savoy is a huge perk. The amenities at Savoy are really nice (pool, gym, covered parking, landscaping, etc), Beacon doesn’t have those. The location of Savoy is preferable for her since she intends to take the train most days and Savoy is a block closer to the Gold Line Metro and Union Station.

The Beacon loft is super cool, modern loft but feels a little too industrial for her preference. Because it lacks bedroom walls and bedroom door, lofts like Beacon are easier to visualize when they have furniture to give people an idea of how cool they can look when set up because lofts are neat spaces, and Beacon has with cool amenities in the surrounding area.

Compared to other nearby condos and apartments, Beacon lofts at 825 E 4th Street has plenty of street parking for guests around the area. Satelite speed internet hook-up, no annoying on-site management and no strict move-in/move-out rules (at other nearby condos, you can’t move in or out on the weekends) — Beacon is mostly owner occupied and self-governed with a community feel. Beacon is a concrete building so no ants/roaches/bugs/rodents. The sound isolation is much better that most buildings. No strict restrictions on the rooftop deck, BBQ, and hot tub (may be used late at night).

Just a quick note to remind you that you can do anything! No matter what your situation is, you can accomplish your highest goals, dreams and aspirations.

Yes, while I often prefer vegetarian, I do appreciate a steak once in a while that is way too big to eat in one sitting. I do like left-overs, and try to make the most of everything. My family once lived in a tiny one-room shack behind a family friend’s house. Today, I get to help buyers and sellers to overcome obstacles when buying and selling million dollar lofts and condos in Downtown Los Angeles, and that led to owning a big, 2-story L.A. loft of my own.

I’m am lucky enough to have an amazing and special family member, Bob Wieland, to inspire me, and hopefully to inspire you as well:

The year was 1969 when Bob Wieland an All Star athlete from Milwaukee, Wisconsin was drafted and sent to Vietnam. When Bob was given a choice of becoming a cook or a medic, he chose medic.

Bob recounts: Well I’ll tell you what happened I ended up in the middle of the jungles of Vietnam showing with first platoon Alpha Company 2nd of the 14th Battalion 25th Infantry Division and one day we were on a search-and-destroy mission heading toward the enemy stronghold. We were told to turn the place into a parking lot, but I was surprised when it was our company that got ambushed.

Bob Wieland lost both of his legs in combat when he stepped on a land mine, yet still went on to break world records, then walk across America on his hands to help children. Bob Wieland, Mr. Inspiration as he is now known, today shows us how to take the steps of faith that we need to help us overcome all obstacles. He helps millions of children and adults to realize their full potential.

The next time someone says “It can’t be done,” we will remember that it most certainly can be done if we are motivated and inspired to achieve it. I’d like to hear your Downtown Los Angeles aspirations or your real estate goals no matter how challenging they may seem.
