The Brockman Building is a 12-story Beaux-Arts, Classical, and Romanesque Revival style building located on 7th Street in the Financial District of Downtown Los Angeles, California.
History
Built in 1912, the Brockman Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. The building was built in 1912 for John Brockman (1841-1925) and designed by George D. Barnett (1863-c. 1925) of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett. The Brockman Building was the first building west of the Broadway Commercial District to reach the city's 150-foot height limit.[2] Brockman's move started a westward movement of the downtown commercial district and turned Seventh Street into the city's high-end retail district. Several department stores (including the original J.W. Robinson Co.) and office buildings were developed along Seventh Street after the Brockman Building was completed.[2]
Adaptive reuse
The Brockman Building was converted into an 80-unit condominium project from 2006 to 2008, however the building's owner filed for bankruptcy protection before the project was completed.[3] The building was owned by Bank of America until April 2012,[4] when it was purchased by Simpson Housing LLC of Denver, in what was reported as "the second highest price-per-unit sale in Downtown Los Angeles’ history." There were reportedly 26 offers for the building.
Renamed the Brockman Lofts, they are now luxury rental apartments with largely-finished 'loft interiors.'[5][6]
The Bottega Louie restaurant has operated on the building's ground floor since 2009.[7][8][9]
