Fuller Lofts, an adaptive reuse project in Lincoln Heights, received mention in haute architecture mag Dwell. The concrete building, formerly Fuller Paints, is located a few blocks from the Lincoln Heights/Cypress Park Metro Gold Line station, and when completed in January 2008 will house 80 units. A few are to be set aside as “affordable” units, while market rate condos start in the mid-$200,000s.

The Fuller item is towards the end of the article, “The Condo Generation,” available online and in dead-tree form in the October 2007 issue. The article praises the Fuller architects, Pugh+Scarpa, for this project and an affordable-housing complex built in Santa Monica.

Curbed LA reports the drab concrete exterior has been sexied up with “a wall of colorful red, yellow and purple blocks.”

  1. More destinations and more convenience to Metro, makes Angelenos much happier!

  2. Has anyone been to the Fuller Lofts? While I’m all for TOD, the neighborhood is a dump! Within 500 feet of the Fuller Lofts are the following:
    1. DASH bus yard. Buses start at 5:30 a.m.
    2. St. Vincent De Paul thrift shop. There are piles of trash on Avenue 21 and Barranca.
    3. Goldwill Industries on South Broadway.
    4. I-5 freeway noise.

    I wouldn’t walk to the Gold Line Station from the Fuller Lofts given the dumpy neighborhood. Unlike other TOD areas, the local area won’t get any better. All of the Fuller Lofts residents will drive.

  3. And $200,000 for a one bedroom, 650+ square foot condo, is way too much considering rental prices. They will drop to below $100,000 in a couple of years. These apartments should rent for $1200 or so market rate, not the $2000 or so that would justify mid 200k.
