Is Eastern Columbia Loft Living For You?

Swathed in dramatic turquoise terra cotta and gold leaf, the premier art deco tower that opened in 1930 is now an architectural statement topping Los Angeles' list of historic and cultural monuments. Modern, elegant, timeless: each of Eastern Columbia's light-filled lofts combines luxurious contemporary upgrades with authentic period details. Is living in a modern museum setting for you?

It depends what you are looking for. The Eastern Columbia (E.C.) lacks the virtues of green living, but you do get a Mills Act tax break of in property taxes. The windows are sparse, and many complain of "darkness", however, the  striking statement of the exterior is unmatched by any loft historic loft thusfar. If you enjoy expansive city views through floor to ceiling windows, the E.C. is going to come up short, look at Evo or Elleven. If you want an unimpeded view of the city, again, look elsewhere, like 1100 Wilshire or even Sky Lofts. No, the E.C. draws the likes of Johnny Depp into its fold. People who appreciate the vintage charm of art deco and understated elegance. E.C. is for those who enjoy stepping back into time everytime they look up at the aqua blue tiles rising into the sky.
