The Textile Building is a 12-story, 1925 Gothic/Italian Renaissance–influenced loft conversion in Downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District. Originally a garment-manufacturing center designed by William Douglas Lee, it was restored and repurposed into one-bed live/work lofts while retaining industrial bones: oversized multi-pane factory windows, exposed brick, concrete columns and polished concrete or hardwood floors. Units typically feature 12-foot ceilings, open floor plans with defined bedroom nooks or lofted sleeping areas, modernized kitchens with stone or granite counters and stainless appliances, in-unit laundry and generous built-in storage and walk‑in closets. Common building elements include elevator access, secure underground parking and additional storage rooms in the basement. As part of the larger Santee Village complex, residents share a wide range of communal facilities spread across adjacent buildings: rooftop pool and spas, a fitness center, 24-hour gym, BBQ and lounge areas, basketball court, driving range/putting area and a dog run. The property holds historic landmark status and participates in the Mills Act, offering substantial property tax savings; on-site management, gated entry and controlled elevator access contribute to security. The building sits amid restaurants, wholesale and boutique retail, transit options and cultural destinations in the Fashion District, delivering an urban live/work lifestyle with strong walkability and skyline and mountain views from corner units.
