738 S Los Angeles St

Built in 1914 and converted to condominiums, the Eckardt is a seven‑story historic loft building in Downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District. Its industrial origins remain visible in large commercial windows, exposed structural elements, towering ceilings and polished concrete floors that define the open loft layouts. Units are primarily one‑bedroom or loft‑style homes with features such as eat‑in kitchens, granite counters, beamed or high ceilings, balconies on select residences, lofted sleeping areas, and in‑unit laundry; many floorplans favor expansive, flexible living/work space rather than rigid room divisions. Common-area amenities are extensive for a low‑rise: rooftop pool and multiple spas, sundeck and barbecue terraces, a rooftop half‑basketball court and putting practice area, a fitness center, dog run, and 24/7 security and controlled access. The property participates in the Mills Act, offering qualifying owners substantial property tax reductions. Parking is available but varies by unit (some underground deeded or assigned spaces; occasional adjacent garage access). Located inside the walkable Santee Village enclave, the building sits steps from retail, restaurants, and transit, and integrates into a courtyard-focused neighborhood with on‑site convenience retail and communal seating areas.
