The lofts at Barker Block were created with an incredibly unique aesthetic, mixing contemporary finishes with historic materials and details.  Each one is individually crafted with its own inventive palette.

Barker Block is an adaptive reuse of an historic warehouse.  This allowed them to keep and re-purpose original and historic elements, like exposed rafters showing a century of character, period wood floors and brick walls from the early 1900s.  These act as a backdrop to the modern finishes, sleek counter tops, designer cabinetry and stainless appliances and steel staircases. Totally authentic and entirely one of a kind, this is genuine live-work loft.

Barker Block allows a feeling of real freedom. Each home has been individually crafted with a unique variation of these materials, giving every one its very own persona.

GREEN DESIGN

Barker Block was created for beautiful and sustainable living. By reinventing an original warehouse, they re-purposed and reused many existing structures and materials, like brick walls, wood floors, timber rafters and concrete floors. This preserves historic elements with irreplaceable character, while requiring that fewer raw materials be taken from the earth – conserving natural resources and reducing the building’s construction footprint.

In addition to the eco-friendly nature of adaptive reuse, the homes are very energy-efficient with Energy Star appliances, insulating dual pane windows and water-efficient landscaping. Barker Block is also at the heart of a walkable neighborhood and close to job centers and public transit, which reduce the need for driving.

All buildings in Downtown Los Angeles have issues that buyers should know about before seeing the property.  Barker Block and its developer have had issues with parking, lawsuits, health and safety, HOA and broker conflicts of interest, overpricing and other questions. All prospective buyers and renters of Barker Block lofts should get free help from a Downtown specialist Realtor(R).
