1100 Wilshire Boulevard
Yes, Los Angeles does have a downtown area, and the newly redeveloped 1100 Wilshire Boulevard high-rise condo is at the very heart of it, only minutes away from the best the city has to offer. Originally built in 1986 for Rolls Royce, 1100 Wilshire is a dramatic 37-story triangular tower in blue glass. The building is currently being converted to 230 ultra-modern residential units, all with spectacular skyline views that, thanks to recent zoning regulations, will remain unobstructed. 1100 Wilshire Boulevard is part of the rejuvenation of the city’s downtown, bringing sophisticated urban residences into what had been a largely commercial/industrial area.
1100 Wilshire’s residences begin on the 17th floor and offer the open space and ambience of upscale lofts. Units range from studios to one-bedroom/one-bath and two-bedrooms/two-baths, to two-story penthouses as large as 3,466 square feet. Interiors have been attentively designed using various hardwoods to match or contrast with wall colors and sleek built-in wall sconces. Kitchens are equipped with stainless steel appliances and color-coordinated granite counter tops, while bathrooms are tiled and trimmed in natural stone or marble, with contemporary basins and hardware. Most units feature 13-foot ceilings, but a few soar to 23 feet. All residences are pre-wired for cable televison and high-speed DSL Internet.
Building amenities include the 17th floor Sky Deck with an outdoor pool and private cabanas, fire pit, as well as a health club and full-service spa. Spacious private storage is available, as is a business center and concierge services.
Native and just-arrived Angelinos alike will appreciate 1100 Wilshire’s unparalleled location, close to downtown business and government centers, upscale and eclectic boutique shopping, fine restaurants as well as neighborhood diners. Residents can browse the open-air markets of nearby Olvera Street, Central Market, and the Flower Market, or window-shop in the city’s Chinese and Japanese business communities, only blocks away. Dodger Stadium is a two-minute drive, as is the Staples Center, home of the L.A. Lakers and L.A. Kings sports teams. And, of course, L.A.’s entertainment resources have no equal anywhere in the world.
