Want Over 1300sf of Space? There are Currently A Few Gems Available.

I keep reiterating that things are getting smaller in DTLA. It's a fact that nearly all the new residential development will have studios and "1-bedrooms" starting around 550sf. That sounds small--because it is. Even the converted historic spaces are getting smaller as land and construction costs are going up, so developers are chopping up the units. Their bottom line is to get as many livable units onto a floor as building codes will allow.

That said, things that are close to 1000sf will become more desirable. An 800sf 1-bedroom is being considered ample now. And anything over 1200+sf is considered spacious. Currently available "oversized" lofts in unique buildings:
