Our new listing, a two bedroom luxury loft-style condo with views of Los Angeles’ downtown Financial District takes you right to the pulse of the city: It’s at the heart of a revived downtown that is increasingly walkable–with something to experience at almost every turn.
Whether for a student or executive, artist or entrepreneur, 655 Hope St. #1002 is a perfect home at the hub of it all. Just steps away is the burgeoning The Bloc, a mixed-use complex set to rival major world shopping and entertainment meccas ( with a flagship Macy’s nonetheless!)

Here are just some of the reasons we feel #1002 is for an owner who can’t wait to escape into downtown:
The Neighborhood
Pop over for a morning cup of coffee right across the street at The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Later, hop over to the celebrated restaurant Bottega Louie for delectable macaroons on par with the patisseries of Paris.The Walt Disney Concert Hall and the 7th + Fig shopping center are all within walking distance.
A little further, but not more than an Uber ride away, is LA Live and the Staples Center; together both form a world-renowned sports and entertainment complex.
The Building
Sleek and emerald green, 655 Hope was originally built in the 1960s and carefully redesigned in 2010. Ownership means access to an array of amenities. You are greeted by friendly management in a lobby with 24 hour security service, have private parking, and can work out in a modern gym outfitted with the latest equipment. Invite friends to enjoy the sunset from an incredible rooftop lounge complete with wet bar, fire pit and BBQ. Reach the rest of L.A. with direct 7th St. metro access from the building itself. Furry family members are welcome as the 80 unit community is pet friendly.
#1002
At ± 1,001 square feet, the two bedroom two bathroom loft is exceptional for a few reasons. With dark floors and picture windows overlooking the architecture of the Beaux Art buildings of downtown’s Financial District, the spacious open floor plan gives an immediate sense of sophistication.
A contemporary kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances including dishwasher and refrigerator make dining in or entertaining a pleasure on the nights when staying home trumps the delights of downtown.
Generous walk-in closets will accommodate any wardrobe and dual vessel sinks give the bathroom and accompanying closet space a refined dressing room air.

The home can easily be transformed into a dual live/ work space for two–we can even suggest ways to integrate two design styles and merge furniture if a couple is moving in and wants seamless design incorporating both tastes.
In my opinion, what really makes this loft a value aside from location, building amenities and view; is that it comes fully furnished with beautiful, custom ordered Italian furniture less than two years old. The furniture includes a full sized bed and a complete living room set along with an electric fireplace. Tucked away from view, is a stackable washer dryer in its own dedicated laundry space.
With the stylish furniture a part of the deal, moving in has never been more convenient. As spacious as the loft already is, an included additional storage unit means if you need extra space to store a bike, scooter or maybe even mini wine cellar or rotating art collection; you needn’t invest time and money looking for outside storage space.

For anyone in love with living downtown, this will make a wonderful home. If you are interested in a private tour of the space I am happy to show you in person everything that makes living at 655 Hope so special.
Step outside to downtown adventure. Close out the day with an incredible view. The pulse of the city is right at home.
