Why Roosevelt Lofts in Downtown L.A. Is A Great Choice

The Roosevelt Building was built in 1927 and upon completion, was one of the largest office buildings in Southern California encompassing most of Seventh Street between Figueroa and Hope streets. It is an E-shaped building with a terra cotta exterior recalling elements of Italian design. The entrance incorporates high arches that serve as a dramatic exclamation point to the Rennaissance inspired details. The same architects that designed two other Downtown landmarks, the Eastern Columbia and Equitable buildings, also designed the Roosevelt. Originally, this building was a medical office occupied by occupied by doctors and dentists with ground floor attracted attention housing a large barber shop and popular shoe store. Especially notable in 1927, were the additional four underground floors for parking and service for about 400 cars. Today, this stately building is registered as a historical landmark that qualifies for Mills Act property tax exemptions. 

Residents choosing to live in the Roosevelt Lofts will be nestled between South Park and The Historic Core and be centrally located to all the shops, restaurants, metro stops, Gold’s Gym and the new Ralph’s grocery store. Cutting edge design fused with a historic 1920s building to produce a one of a kind living experience in the Financial District. Residences include top of the line appliances and fixtures, from Bosch and Bontempi. Live-work loft sizes range from 800 to 2700 square feet and start at $550,000.

For the money, its competitors may include Elleven, Eastern Columbia, Evo, Sky Lofts and 1100 Wilshire. However, in terms of  character appeal harkening back to a bygone era, its only true competitor is Eastern Columbia. Between Eastern Columbia and Roosevelt,  the Roosevelt offers a more central location  in the heart of the Financial  District  and valet parking. The unique combination of value, convenience, luxury and beauty belongs to the Roosevelt.
