Little Tokyo Lofts

This old Westinghouse office building and warehouse on San Pedro Street became part of the new exploding residential loft revolution that is changing the face of downtown at the end of 2003. The lower floors of the building had been and continue to be used by toy merchants but the upper floors were converted to apartment units with high ceilings, big windows and all the amenities of modern living.

In the rear of the building, a new multistory parking garage was added for the tenants and between the 2, a new swimming pool, spa, and outdoor courtyard was formed for the tenants use. The concept was to create as tropical and lush a garden as possible to create an “oasis in the desert” so to speak within the surrounding concrete jungle. The use of bold colored foliage, palms, and vines, gives this garden a lot of potential. Come back in 2 years and the place will be transformed.
