Fashion District Lofts and a Great Neighborhood to Live In!

DTLA districts.

With many new lofts coming onto the market next month, I have decided to write a series of blogs on the Districts of Downtown Los Angeles.  If you are interested in purchasing a loft or just interested in the growing downtown area, it’s better to know the districts.

The Fashion District is full of industrial buildings that are now converted to lofts as well as newly constructed lofts.


Santee Alley is one of the most popular shopping areas in the LA Fashion District, best known for its festival-like atmosphere and amazing bargains. Santee Alley's over 150 stores and vendors sell everything from apparel for the entire family, accessories, toys, perfume, gift items and much more!

The LA Fashion District is where the business of fashion happens.

80% of the LA Fashion District is comprised of wholesale-related business and is the hub of the apparel industry on the West Coast. Buyers, retailers, wholesalers and designers all gather here, creating an exciting synergy that has become synonymous with Los Angeles fashion. The world looks to LA and the LA Fashion District for the cutting edge styles that are influencing the way the world dresses.

ECKARDT LOFTS

The LA Fashion District is home to the largest  wholesale and retail floral selection in the United States.

Focused along 8th Street, virtually every  variety of cut flower can be found, plus potted plants, dried and silk flowers  and floral supplies. The LA Flower Market, the largest flower market in the  United States, is centered along Wall Street, between 7th Street and 8th Street  and is the premier resource for those in the floricultural industry.

The LA  Flower Market is comprised of the American Florist Exchange and the  Southern California Flower Market. Many other flower stores can be found on 8th  Street, between Wall Street and San Pedro Street. These stores are open to  wholesale and retail during normal business hours and require no admission fee.

Santee Village is a community of 7 various building in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. Three of the seven loft buildings are Condos/Lofts which means individual home owners run the building. Four of the seven buildings are rental buildings managed by Santee Court.  Click on one of the below links to see available condo/loft units for sale and for lease.

New Lofts for Sale in Downtown Los Angeles. Why a buyers agent that specializes in Lofts is essential!

ext bbw shootsNew Lofts are being sold in Downtown Los Angeles for the first time in a very long time.  Lofts have been sold out in Downtown Los Angeles and getting in front of other buyers is very important.  The best lofts in buildings get sold first and rarely are put back on the market.  Using a real estate agent who represents both buyers and sellers will often result in a higher purchasing price, and will often bring more problems for the buyer.

http://www.laloftblog.com/new-lofts
A Loft is not a Condominium or a house.  This is obvious, Right?  Well not really.  Even though Lofts have HOA fees, they are not Condominiums.  Lofts do not qualify for conventional loans and if a agent is not experienced they will not discover this fact until it is often too late for the buyer.
While lofts do not qualify for conventional loans it does not mean they do not qualify for mortgages.  It means that a purchaser, the real estate agent, and the loan agent must work to get documentation and contact lenders that will fund a loft.  Often, a lender will use conventional lenders and not find out until the end of escrow they can not use conventional lenders.  This will often extend escrow while appropriate lenders are found, or will end escrow and the seller will walk away.  Don't let your dream loft slip from your hands because your agent and loan agent are at the beginning of the learning curve when it comes to Lofts!  Corey Chambers at the Keller Williams team are experienced in special lending terms and can help turn this nightmare into a advantage when competing with other purchasers.
Law suits is a ugly term.  But more than 20% of Loft buildings are in the middle of some law suit of one kind or another.  If you work directly with a developer to purchase a loft, or if you a use a agent that does not specialize in Lofts, chances are you will not be informed of existing law suits and how it affects the owners of the lofts in a particular building.  As a experienced loft specialist, Corey Chambers will let you know of impending law suits that a building may have.  Often many loft buyers complete escrow and find out later that there are outstanding law suits against a building.  A developer is not required to inform buyers of impending law suits.  Corey Chambers has a 100% satisfaction rating because he gives the buyers the bad news up front.

Corey searches for new lofts before they go on the market!
Pocket listings or secret supplies are common place in the loft market.  Many lofts are not listed on the MLS.  There are many reasons for this, but ultimately it means that there are beautiful lofts on the market that get over looked buy purchasers.  Corey Chambers has 100s of pocket listings for lofts for sale in Downtown Los Angeles.  Only a handful of agents specialize in lofts and developers use these specialist when they have earned their confidence.
Lofts are going to market this year, and there are fewer loft warehouse conversions available in the future.

NEW LOFTS in Downtown Los Angeles! Sales Begin January 11!


Corey searches for lofts before they go on the market
For over a year Downtown Los Angeles lofts have been virtually sold out.  Brand new lofts are going on the market in January.  Many buyers have been waiting for years to get a chance to be the first to purchase a loft in a building when it first goes on the market.

http://www.laloftblog.com/new-lofts
With 10 times as many pocket listings, Corey’s team has provided more than 100 unlisted properties, secret inventory not available to the general public.
These special properties are sold privately and have yet to be listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).  Many property owners want to sell their real estate, but do not want the aggravation associated with showing the property.  This is especially true in the loft market where sellers of real estate want buyers, not just curious people.
With VIP credentials to the New Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles, I can provide earliest viewings while most must wait until these Lofts open to the general population and most realtors.  I can submit the earliest bid to the developers before the competition comes into play, getting you ahead of the competition and inflating the prices for these Downtown Lofts! Buyers who see the new lofts early often get the best units at the lowest prices.
 As a loft specialist Corey can help you get the best price for lofts.  The developer’s goal is to get the highest price for lofts.  They often create bidding wars to inflate the price.  Corey’s goal is to get you the lowest price possible.
 Also, developers are not required to inform buyers of outstanding lawsuits against a property.  Often buyer’s will purchase a property and will not find out the property has a law suit against it until they have purchased the loft.  Corey will help you make wise purchases by providing information other agents and developers keep from the buyers.  This is why Corey has a 100% satisfaction rating. 
Working exclusively with buyers, Corey’s goal is to provide all information to the buyer’s, good and bad.

Barker Block Lofts Los Angeles
Barker Block Lofts Los Angeles
Barker Block is a new loft concept in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. It brings modern design and amenities to an original Angelino warehouse in the heart of the city’s most authentic neighborhood. Mixing life, art, energy and home, Barker Block offers one of the most beautiful and intriguing living experiences around. We invite you to see it for yourself.
Barker Block's location in the Arts District is one of those genuine places with a real neighborhood fabric, originality and creative energy that gives it a familiar big-city feel with a uniquely Angelino vibe.
The surrounding blocks are full of independent shops, boutiques, bars, avant restaurants, the ever-popular Urth Caffe, endless creative studios, art galleries and underground spots waiting to be discovered.  Enterainment destinations like L.A. Live and Staples Center are just a few blocks beyond -- along with easy access to freeways and the Metro Gold line.
The lofts at Barker Block were created with an incredibly unique aesthetic, mixing 164137_livingroomcontemporary finishes with histroic materials and details.  Each one is individually crafted with its own inventive palette.
Barker Block is an adaptive reuse of an historic warehouse.  This allowed them to keep and repurpose original and historic elements, like exposed rafters showing a century of character, period wood floors and brick walls from the early 1900s.  These act as a backdrop to the modern finishes, sleek countertops, designer cabinetry and stainless appliances and steel staircases. Totally authentic and entirely one of a kind, this is genuine live-work loft.
164136_entry
Barker Block allows a feeling of real freedom. Each home has been individually crafted with a unique variation of these materials, giving every one its very own persona. All of this is matched a gym with a view, luxury rooftop deck with swimming pool, hot tub spa, comfy lounge chairs, and cabanas that extends your home and living experience through retreats and spaces that bear the signature Kor resort style and flair.
