Pacific Electric Lofts
Built in 1905 as home of the famed Los Angeles "Red Car" trolley system
and once owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad, this
500,000-square-foot office building is part of the Historic Core
Business Improvement District and has been converted into 314 luxury
loft apartments on a budget in excess of $60 million. Bank of America
is ICO’s historic tax credit equity partner on this Los Angeles
landmark. Pacific Electric Lofts commenced occupancy in August 2005 and
is currently 98% leased and occupied at rents substantially above pro
forma. The building’s redevelopment has received numerous awards
including Downtown News’ 2006 Project of the Year and the Los
Angeles Conservancy’s 2006 Preservation Award. In addition, the project
has been featured on HGTV, and is the recipient of the largest grant
bestowed by the television channel’s Restore America program.
