Downtown - 1315 S. Flower Street

Sunday morning, in the incessant rain, I dragged Robbie (close friend & real estate guy) to check out properties I had seen earlier. He put to rest any hopes I had for the loft on Berendo which for him was also love at first site. He agreed it was a great place but not for my intents and purposes of converting into a restaurant. He was quick to point out no back exit/delivery door, exhaust system, etc. It was sad to put that dream to bed, but I must move on.

I took him to the downtown property (loft building on Pico/Flower - 1315 Flower Street) which he agreed had lots of potential. He did advise that the unit on Pico, facing North (the Staples Center) is better than Flower (facing East) for sunlight and be brighter/warmer energy in general. The building is residential lofts on top, retail downstairs. They're hoping to have four retailers. So far there is independent record store (opening in January) and possibly a designer furniture store. Perfect neighbors for me, since all of us have the same young urbanite demographics. Downtown is on the verge of exploding, or so we hear. Of course being down there, you see it. The units range between 1100-1300sq ft.



Typical Interior (app. 1100 sq ft., railroad style)


Unit on Pico, facing North to the Staples Center


General area: Staples Center, Flower Street Lofts (Yellow Bldg.), Ralphs grocery (2005), Palm Restaurant, lofts, Standard Hotel, Office bldgs, Convention Center

Looks like a great space for a cozy restaurant, I like the idea of streaming sunlight.
