Located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles’s historic core, the Old Bank District comprises three historic office buildings that were converted into 230 market-rate, rental loft apartments with 102,840 square feet (9,520 square meters) of ground-floor retail space. The first project completed under a city program designed to promote the development of downtown housing by relaxing building code requirements, the Old Bank District serves as a model for other adaptive use projects in Los Angeles. Redevelopment of the historic buildings along Fourth Street between Spring and Main streets has attracted national attention. Planning for the $33.5 million project began in 1998, and the loft conversions were completed in 2001.
