The Douglas building is a renovated 1899 office building that was originally the city headquarters of the Standard Pacific Company and built by lumber baron T.M. Stimson. In 2006 it was converted into 50 luxury loft condominiums. It’s in the heart of the Old Bank District and across the street from the famous Bradbury Building. This beautiful home sure to retain it’s value long after the today’s new contemporary residences in the area become out of fashion. A great location: near Little Tokyo, Grand Central Market, the Metro Red Line, California Plaza, L.A. Live, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and Ralphs, and in the heart of the Historic District.

The Douglas Building conversion was carefully designed to preserve the integrity of original splendor. This east facing loft has 2 private bedrooms built-out by the developer. Adorned with original Douglas Fir floors, the original office hallway tile goes through the middle of the unit, and has the original quarter-sawn oak front door with replicated cast hardware, there’s exposed brick walls, and original panoramic hung windows. Modern accoutrements include central air and heat, open kitchen with one of the largest pantries in the building, top-of-the-line appliances including washer and dryer, and finished with Waterworks bathrooms. The building includes secured underground parking at $100/month with a long term lease plus options, additional secured parking is very close, and ample on-site secured guest parking. A security desk is in the lobby.
