Highly desirable loft with skyline views AND courtyard views in the historic Higgins Building which made its mark in 1907 as one of the very first office buildings in Los Angeles to have electricity. In fact, it preceded the city's electric power grid, so it was forced to generate its own electricity in the mini-power plant in the basement which was designed by Thomas Edison himself; the appropriately name, sophisticated nightclub - The Edison -- now occupies that spot. The Higgins is at the epicenter of several desirable neighborhoods in downtown and sits at the junction where Little Tokyo meets the Historic Core and the Civil Center. The regional connector is currently under construction which will afford a subway stop across the street.The Loft itself is light-filled and quiet with a bedroom area naturally separated from the rest of the open living space; there is plenty of built-in storage.
