Unit 622 at Pacific Electric Lofts

We offer Self-Guided Tours by Appointment Only. Step into over 120 years of Los Angeles history at the Pacific Electric Building—a national historic landmark that once buzzed with the energy of the Pacific Electric Railroad and later echoed with the elegance of the Jonathan Club. Constructed in 1905 and considered the city’s first skyscraper, the Pacific Electric Building now stands firmly in the modern age as PE Loft Apartments–downtown Los Angeles, CA’s premier residential community. Reborn in 2005 through a meticulous renovation, this architectural gem now offers 314 open, loft-style apartments that blend timeless character with contemporary comfort. Soaring ceilings, expansive Chicago-style windows, and panoramic city views define these one-of-a-kind living spaces. Beyond bespoke residences, our community offers a host of lavish amenities. Beginning in our dramatically designed lobby and continuing to our rooftop terrace with pool, spa, cabanas, fireplaces, barbecue grills, and more, you will find striking design and breathtaking sights at every turn. Further entertainment is available in our game room, sauna, and fitness center. Positioned in the aptly-named historic core of DTLA, our pet-friendly community is surrounded by a myriad of options for fitness, dining, shopping, clubbing, and more. Conveniently commute with nearby Metro rail and bus options. Easily move about the city using DASH bus routes or jump on nearby I-10, 101, and 110 for routes beyond the downtown core. Located in the heart of Downtown LA, the Pacific Electric Building is more than just a place to live-it's a piece of history you can call home. Schedule a tour today and experience a living legend.
