Pros & Cons

Pros

Historic & Architectural Significance: The property is located in the iconic Eastern Columbia building, a stunning Art Deco landmark that has won multiple preservation awards and recently underwent exterior restoration, enhancing its unique appeal and value.
Exceptional Tax Savings: Benefits from the coveted historic Mills Act contract, offering property owners up to 70% off property taxes, which is a significant and rare financial advantage.
Premium Building Amenities & Location: Features a stunning rooftop pool, sun deck, spa, fitness center, 24/7 reception/security, and is within blocks of major DTLA attractions, dining, and retail, including Whole Foods and Metro.
Rare Private Balcony & Views: Offers a private balcony with city and sunset views, a unique and highly sought-after feature for lofts in this building, complemented by massive west-facing windows for abundant natural light.
Modern Loft Living with Inclusions: A beautifully maintained LIVE/WORK loft with tall ceilings, stainless steel kitchen appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, a Kelly Wearstler designed bathroom, and an included covered parking space.

Cons

High Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $1317.13 per month is substantial, potentially impacting affordability and long-term ownership costs, even with parking, water, trash, and gas included.
Open Plan Layout: The 1030 sqft open-plan loft, while offering flexibility, may not appeal to all buyers who prefer traditional room separation or more private living and sleeping areas.
Potential for Limited Climate Control: As an older building (1930), the description does not explicitly mention central air conditioning, suggesting potential reliance on alternative cooling methods which could be a drawback during warmer Los Angeles months.
