This historic building is located in the heart of downtown and once served as a station for Los Angeles’ fabled Red Car trolleys. Constructed in 1925, this building has been designated a historic-cultural monument. It’s one of the largest historic adaptive reuse projects in LA County history and many elements of the building were salvaged for architectural appointments. In addition to respecting the building’s historical significance, this effort of preservation was intended to give the spaces more character and reflect the building’s past. Remodeling presented many design and structural challenges.  Since the structural elements couldn’t be changed, they had to be worked into the design.  The building’s main lobby and public areas are largely intact and were refurbished using the existing mosaic tiles and marble columns as design inspiration. These distinctive features represent the height of the 1920s style and craftsmanship.  Amenities included a rooftop garden, fitness center, movie screening room and an additional parking structure for residents’ convenience.
