Cherokee Lofts is the most advanced and distinctive building of its kind in Los Angeles. It will be the first “green” LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified building in Hollywood per the U.S. Green Building Council certification system and the first LEED Gold Certified mixed-use or market-rate multifamily building in Southern California.
The development pays homage to the significant musical and Hollywood history of Cherokee Recording Studios, MGM Studios before it, and all the artists who recorded music on the site from Frank Sinatra to David Bowie to Dave Matthews. Its unique architectural form and integrated function create a high-performing building that is an expression of the environmental and cultural context in which it is built.
Cherokee Lofts consists of 12 condominium lofts and 2800 square feet of retail space. The building is 5 stories, including 1 underground level of parking, first floor retail and parking, 3 floors of lofts on floors 2 through 4, and a rooftop deck and green roof.
The lofts range in size from 1,000 square feet to 2,000 square feet, with unique and distinctive floor plans. Seven of the lofts are two-story town homes perched 30 to 50 feet above street level. The living space, consisting of a state-of-the-art kitchen, great room, bathroom, and home recording studio or office, is on the 4th floor, 38 feet above street level, so as to maximize city skyline views, daylight, and energy efficiency. Three of the lofts have 17 foot high ceilings with mezzanines and open to a lushly landscaped courtyard.
Two loft flats have 10-foot high ceilings and open to the landscaped courtyard. All lofts have 2 to 3 bathrooms and 1 to 4 bedrooms. Interiors including kitchens, baths, and finishes will all be ‘eco-luxury,’ with high-end appointments that have simple and modern lines while maintaining sustainability.
