As the first high-rise in Los Angeles’ historic Arts District, Alloy introduces vertical living to one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods, establishing a bold new landmark that reflects and elevates its industrial heritage.
The one-million-square-foot mixed-use development comprises a 35-story residential tower, a 105,000-square-foot creative office building, 20,000 square feet of retail, and a 748-car parking garage. The design enhances the Arts District community by creating 55,000-square-feet of activated open space with an expansive public paseo.
Rooted in context yet forward-looking, the design, a partnership between SCB and Works Architecture, reinterprets the strong grids and material rigor of the district’s historic warehouses and factories. The façade shifts and breaks in response to programmatic needs while maintaining a cohesive, tactile language across the tower, office, and paseo.
Alloy brings 475 new homes to the neighborhood, from studios to two-bedroom residences, each thoughtfully designed with a minimum of 150-square-feet of unobstructed space to support the creative practices of artists and makers. Affordable, loft-style live/work studios on the ground floor further reinforce the project’s commitment to community and accessibility.
The amenity-rich residential program prioritizes wellness and indoor/outdoor lifestyles, featuring a gallery bar and event space, pool deck, fitness center, spa, and a rooftop sundeck with sweeping views of Downtown LA and the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains.
The five-story creative office features column-free, flexible floorplates that support open and collaborative environments for creative industry tenants.
The public paseo connects Santa Fe and Mateo Streets with retail, outdoor seating, and a performance stage crafted from a repurposed train car in a nod to the site’s industrial past. Envisioned as a year-round gathering space, it will host art installations, performances, and events that foster connection, creativity, and community in the district.
