The Roosevelt, constructed in 1925 and the first building in downtown Los Angeles to include an underground parking garage, features a new vehicular entry which leads to a sleek porte cochere and into the original grand historic lobby. An on-site MetroRail station provides residents with quick and easy access to convenient public transportation.
The lofts are carved out of the E-shaped building while keeping the original historic corridors intact. The corridors on alternating floors are eliminated to provide cross ventilation to two-story units located in the buildings' two wings. The lightwell begins at the fourth floor and encloses a quiet landscaped area. The fitness center and conference room open out into the lightwell.
The roof, once flat with a mechanical penthouse, now has multilevel penthouses, private patios, and common outdoor spaces. An indoor lounge with a large catering kitchen and glass walls opens onto the exterior lounge, which is highlighted by a fireplace, fountain, pool and spa.
