The AT&T Tower will no longer have the AT&T sign. The University of Southern California will now have it’s seal and letters on top of the 32 story building long known as the AT&T Tower. The University is now leasing 30,000 square feet inside the two building complex at 1150 S. Olive St. The space will house offices for USC’s Marshall School of Business and School of Social Work, and brings the university’s presence in the complex to 245,000 square feet.

I just showed this Downtown LA loft at the Little Tokyo Lofts to my client today February 27, 2015. It’s new on the market. This loft has a cool layout, two large pillars, an industrial look and a nice balcony facing the inner courtyard where there is a lounge area.
It also has a big walk in closet. It’s offered at $1,750 a month. It is 780 sq. ft. This building also has a heated pool, spa, BBQ grills and a gym. It has a gated parking structure with a guard.  It’s great loft living in Downtown LA for a good price.  

Featured Downtown LA loft of the Day! – Elleven Lofts!

Elleven is located in prestigious South Park, an upscale neighborhood blocks away from the Fashion District, L.A. Live and the Staples Center. The lofts are modern and stylish as Elleven was recently constructed in 2006. Elleven stands as the first new construction residential high rise in downtown Los Angeles in over two decades. The building’s slender exterior is wrapped in glass and allows light to flood in the lofts all while providing beautiful views of the city.  In select units, there are outdoor terraces and Juliet balconies.

The Elleven lofts are “soft lofts” with a bedroom area and closets. They have bamboo floors, stainless steel appliances, laundry rooms, high ceilings and spectacular views. The lofts are deconstructed like a loft but sophisticated, modern and stylish like a home.

The amenities are luxurious at Elleven with beautiful views of the downtown L.A. skyline from the heated saline lap pool and spa. The deck on the fourth floor is designed with a modern, sleek look providing comfort and many intimate seating areas for residents to gather. For those that love to cook, there are several barbeque grills along with picnic tables to help you entertain your guests in a deck that has a peaceful ambiance with its bamboo shoots, waterfall fountain and serene garden experience.  This outdoor common area is spacious and can accommodate many residents. Heat lamps are also provided near the swimming pool for residents who like to enjoy night time swimming. Residents can also entertain near the outdoor fireplace where there is lounge seating on the deck.

The lobby of Elleven has a sophisticated and modern design with comfortable leather couches in the spacious waiting area for guests.  For your convenience and safety, the lobby has an attendant and package delivery.  Another added plus is that there are four floors of private gated parking.

Elleven is the first green residential building in downtown Los Angeles and is LEED certified from the U.S. Green Building Council. It is close to many of L.A.’s best restaurants, L.A. Live ®, FIDM (the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise) ®, the Staples Center ®, the world class Nokia Theatre ® at L.A. Live ® which holds concerts, movie premieres and awards shows. If you are looking for the loft experience in a grand, luxurious and comfortable style with world-class entertainment at your fingertips, Elleven is the choice for downtown L.A. city dwellers.

 Showing Tips

Once you’ve decided to put your home on the market, try to view it from a buyer’s perspective. Here are six helpful steps to give your home a winning look:

  • Keep it clean.

A good cleaning and fresh paint creates the impression that your home has been well cared for.

  • Keep it uncluttered.

It will be neater and look larger. You want to convey a spacious feeling.

  • Keep it repaired.

Fix it before the buyer inquires about it. The need for repairs can affect a potential sale.

  • Keep it neutral.

Eliminate distracting colors and personal accessories. Neutral colors and simple décor can help someone visualize their own belongings in a room.

  • Keep it dynamic.

Make your home memorable! From fresh flowers to fresh clean smells, your house should be inviting!

  • Show time.

Make a final check of every room. Keep toys, clothes, food and other items picked up.

Seller Disclosures about the Condition of the Property

What must a seller disclose about the condition of the property?

A seller must disclose known material defects about the property. Typically, a seller would make make these disclosures on a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement.

In addition, sellers may also give you a Natural Hazards Disclosure Statement.  That form contains disclosures about certain flood, earthquake and fire zones. These are often provided by a third party report and the information may depend on the availability of public reports and maps.

What is the Transfer Disclosure Statement?

The TDS is a form required by state law which the seller completes (unless exempt) and delivers to a buyer. Among other things, it asks the seller to list the various features of the property and disclose whether or not any of those features are in operating condition.   It also allows a seller to state whether the seller is aware of a variety of common issues such as environmental hazards, permits, homeowners’ associations and other matters that might affect the property. Some areas have additional local disclosures required by the country or city.
