NEWBERRY LOFTS FOR LEASE | NEW LEASE LISTINGS | UNLISTED LOFTS

900 East 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

Newberry Lofts in the Arts District of Downtown L.A. was originally the main warehouse for JR Newberry Co, a Los Angeles grocery store chain that housed a candy store, blacksmith shop and restaurant. The building is eligible under Criterion C of the U.S. National Park Service as a representative example of industrial warehouses at the turn of the century. The renovated lofts for lease feature exposed brick walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, city views, granite kitchens, baths and some customized features. Because the building has been home to many students of the nearby Southern California Institute of Architecture, the units vary greatly on how much or how little they have been modified and upgraded.

ABOUT JR NEWBERRY

J. R. Newberry was the pioneering founder of one of the first Los Angeles grocery chains. He is also known as one of the organizers of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, as well as one of the first directors of the Chamber of Commerce. He was part of a group of local business leaders instrumental in bringing in the Santa Fe Railroad to the area. By this time, the Flats, as the lowlands along the Los Angeles River were called, developed into the warehouse district. The J. R. Newberry Company was one of four early buildings in the district, predating construction of the 1st Street Viaduct. Character-defining features of the warehouse include its location and close proximity to the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad rail yards, the simple plan, relatively plain wall surface, random placement of the fenestration and the use of brick as a construction material.

Parking is available, and may be included with some units. Dogs and Cats are now accepted, subject to management rules.

Newberry Lofts apartments is two blocks from Sci-Arc, close to the 101 Freeway, walkable to Little Tokyo Village, near grocery, restaurants and shopping.

SEE THE NEW UPDATE ON SB GRAND AT
https://www.laloftblog.com/2017/09/15/sb-grand/

All Downtown Los Angeles loft buildings have issues, but one stands out as possibly the most troubled loft project ever in DTLA. The ShyBary Grand has some advantages: genuine historic lofts at good prices, but the worst thing may be the way it makes one feel.

The Homeowner’s Association does not provide all of the financial documentations that one might expect. Several homeowners have not paid HOA dues in a long, long time. We don’t know what kind of reserves the HOA has or does not have.

Because more than 50% of residents are renters, most lenders will not finance units at SB Grand. When the developer sold the condos, they only sold about 70% of them to real home buyers, and held out around 30% for the developer and other commercial interests to rent out. Weird — it’s the only condo building that has a leasing office. The units rent cheap, and take a long time to rent out. The result is that SB Grand is a condominium that is all but devoid of ownership pride. In fact, the building’s true personality comes out every Spring Break as the pool gets fun and frolicky.

Hectic with a capital HECK! While SB Grand is not in Skid Row, it might as well be, as Skid Row comes to the building nearly all day long every day because the neighboring Metro station is the closest station to Skid Row. Around the SB Grand, the homeless are the least of the problem; the main problem is the almost homeless. That’s where the hectic, frantic situations occur outside. Like a pimp and ho version of General Hospital – How about General Rehab?

Loiterers stand around in front and nearby almost constantly. Many of them are yelling, sometimes obscenities, sometimes threats, sometimes drop to the ground from drug overdoses, sometimes get rescued by paramedics, and sometimes get a gun in the face compliments of undercover Metro police.

Inside the building is a different type of turmoil. The renters sometimes have people over, questionable dealings, sometimes arguments occur in the common areas. The renters sometimes litter in the building and throw cigarettes down onto neighboring balconies below.

Oh, and parking is not included, but the HOA dues are low.
