THE COOL JEWEL

Great location is our Buyers favorite amenity.

But let’s not forget the fitness center, the business center, the indoor parking and the roof top star gazer entertainment deck.

Buyers will enjoy amazing views through the floor-to-ceiling windows and the volumetric feeling of 9 to 11 foot ceilings in each unit.

8 foot solid core doors, double wall insulation, wood floors, stone counters and all stainless steel appliances create elegance and comfort for those who want what they deserve.

Luxuriously proportioned, versatile living space is ready for your lifestyle. From the lustrous hardwood floors to the generous ceiling heights, comfortably modern elegance abounds. Reflective glass windows bring added privacy to your living space.

Your sleek granite-countered kitchen is fully equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, double-door refrigerator, washer and dryer.

And if you wish to experience some of the best that downtown has to offer – just park your car in the above-ground indoor parking garage and walk to several local attractions just minutes from your new home at 655 Hope.

A city reborn.

This live-work building has the elegance of luxury living and the convenience of a metropolis for busy professionals. It’s the perfect combination for both. Located on restaurant row, two blocks from Ralphs’ Fresh Faire, and a block from Louies Gourmet Market, grocery shopping is easy.

Located across the street from the post office and Macy’s Plaza, next to coffee bean, two blocks from Kinkos Fed Ex and Bank of America, projects are a snap. At barely 10 minutes away from Nokia, Staples, Cineplex, Disney, and 30 restaurants and bars, planning an entertaining evening is extremely convenient and simple.
Shopping. From high-end fashion to bargain hunter’s dreams, everything is available downtown.

Macy’s Plaza, right across the street, includes not only a top quality department store, but also such conveniences as Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, Casual Corner, Border’s Express, and a U.S. Post Office. The opening of Ralph’s, the first supermarket downtown in decades, certifies the rebirth of the district as a neighborhood.

The Grand Central Market is a food-shopper’s paradise.
Bargain secrets like Santee Alley and The California Market Center in the garment district present miles of fashion at wholesale prices. The nearby jewelry, toy and flower districts afford incredible opportunity and selection. Chinatown, minutes away by DASH bus, offers not only Asian specialties, but a selection of fresh seafood and poultry hard to beat anywhere in Southern California.

Nightlife

Downtown used to close up at 6:00 PM, but not anymore. When the sun sets, the excitement rises.

Whether it’s salsa dancing at the Mayan, martinis at LA’s hottest rooftop bar, The Standard (and don’t sweat parking, it’s 3 blocks from your door), or partying into morning at those secret after-hours clubs that only downtowners know about, you can join the A-listers where the action is.

New hot-spots are constantly arising (like the recently arrived Gavin’s) and the best nightlife in town just keeps getting better.
Sports & Recreation

If you want to watch great athletes up close, you’re in the right spot. Major League Baseball is just to the north at Dodgers Stadium. Football is just to the south at USC. NBA basketball, NHL hockey, boxing and more are even closer at Staples Center.

The 24-hour in-building fitness room will offer workout time on your schedule. You can have you own holiday on ice during winter with ice skating (that’s right!) in nearby Pershing Square.

Arts and Culture

Theater, opera, ballet. Art museums and hip galleries. Music from the classics to experimental that’s beyond the cutting edge…

Downtown’s the arts center of LA. The premier theater venues of The Ahmanson and the Mark Taper Forum stand close by the opera and ballet palace, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

Disney Concert Hall and REDCAT present world-class artists performing the complete range of concert music.

The Museum of Contemporary Art is close enough to be a local hangout. And you’re in walking distance of the endless fascinations of the Central Library.

Architectural Heritage

LA’s architectural signature, the City Hall tower, looks down on a rich field of historical and fascinating buildings.

The landmark Central Library is just around the corner. The Financial District preserves some of LA’s classic 1920’s buildings. Art deco flourishes greet the eye on practically every block. Broadway’s preserved movie palaces are a wonder to behold. The futuristic freedom of the shining Disney Concert Hall always amazes the gaze.

For an ‘insider’s tour,’ surprise your visitors with the Bradbury Building, whose drab brick exterior conceals an interior gem of unique fin-de-siecle design.

Transportation

Up to now, very few of our buyers thought of giving up their cars to commute to work but with the Metro under their building, getting a ride to Korea Town, China Town, Universal City, Hollywood, Pasadena, and Long Beach Harbor for $1.25 sounds really appealing: no more driving in peak hours, no more worrying about drinking and driving, and no more parking issues.

And, how about the Metro link system to spend a weekend in Santa Barbara, San Diego or even San Francisco. It just keeps getting better. You could be reading the paper or a book while others are wearing out their brakes.

But after all, you’re probably buying here because you want to walk to work and walk to dinner, bars, dancing, movies, sports, or the arts. Now we’re comparing the cost of shoes to the cost of tires. No contest.

One buyer figured the savings of living where they worked and walking to entertainment would lower the cost of car insurance plus wear and tear, save them hours a week and add years to their lives. Not a bad deal.
