Water, the symbol of life, attracts civilization — except when it is storming and flooding. That’s why the once green Los Angeles River was paved over as a make-work project in the 1930s. While water features usually increase property values, the monstrous concrete eye-sore caused real estate to literally turn it’s head. Homes that would normally face the water were built to face away from the ugly scene. Eighty-five years later, this is now finally changing as the L.A. River goes green again with trees, fish and waterfowl, leading to new homes being built with river views. #lariver #newhomes #dtla

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.
