Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the history of the building?
Originally constructed in 1923 as a Bekins Storage facility, the building served the industrial needs of Los Angeles for nearly a century. It was meticulously "re-adapted" into residential live/work lofts in 2012. The interiors feature wide-open floor plans, high ceilings (up to 11 feet), and industrial finishes that can easily be configured as both a residence and a creative studio or office.
