100 Year Old Gets Facelift!

The Historic Pacific Electric Building Gets A Facelift ... and makes room for the NEW Angelenos. The New Pacific Electric Lofts will consist of 314 luxury live/work rental lofts featuring spacious, open floor plans, state of the art appliances and fantastic amenities. The majority of the apartments will have the commanding views overlooking the Downtown Los Angeles Skyline and beyond. To see what the apartment amenities will include or for more information, please visit Legacy Partners

The 100 Year Old Pacific Electric Building has undergone many changes since 1904! Originally the hub of the Pacific Electric Railway, over 20,000 Angelenos used to pass through the grand lobby every month! Throughout construction, they have found original train tickets, war crackers, and many other historical items that have been preserved and will be exhibited in the building's own museum. Once home to the exclusive Jonathan's Club, Pacific Electric Lofts offers extensive history, magnificent architecture, and the grandeur of old Los Angeles.

The new site looks fab. I was going to say that I remembered the
Pacific Electric bldg from my childhood in LA. So much great old and
new architecture there, from art nouveau to Gehry. Rod

I too will be moving into the building as soon construction is done, sometime in June. It's been a long wait, but I am sure it will be worth it. As a (amateur) historian of the Pacific Electric, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to actually live in the storied building. They are spending a lot of money on amenities and security. Downtown's resurgence seems to continue, but some people aren't convinced. I believe that due to a continued shortage of housing stock in Los Angeles, the rehabilitation of downtown should continue over the next decade and beyond. Further cultural amenities are being added all the time. Rehabilitation of the historic theatre district on Broadway should be attempted. The new Ralph's supermarket is coming and should be open next year. Once that happens, I believe a lot of the naysayers and skeptics will be silenced.
