39 Luxury Loft Condominiums
7 Custom Panoramic View / Two-Story Penthouses
20,000 Sq. Ft. Commercial / Retail Space
The historic Walker Building was built in 1929 and designed
by Meyer & Holler Inc. of Los Angeles, who also designed Grauman’s Chinese
Theatre. The property was built to house Walker’s Department Store, which
remained a solid downtown Long Beach retailer for many decades.
Plans for adaptive reuse of the Walker Building have begun.
Designs include trendy first floor retail. Floors two, three, and four
will be transformed into luxury Manhattan-style loft condominiums. Additionally,
seven spectacular penthouse units are planned for the rooftop level.
The 46-unit residential element of the historic Walker Building
will be an extravagant departure, unlike anything else within the City
of Long Beach.
The lofts on floors two through four will be immaculately
restored to their original Art Deco style featuring 14-foot ceilings,
central heating and air-conditioning, gourmet kitchens including professional
series Viking ranges with custom designed hood ventilation systems, European
style bathrooms with large walk-in showers, and state-of-the-art features
such as wiring for high-speed internet access and multiple pair phone
lines. The penthouse units will have spectacular city views, private terraces,
and a private access elevator.
