Pacific Electric Lofts

We offer Self-Guided Tours by Appointment Only. Constructed in 1905 and considered the city’s first skyscraper, the Pacific Electric Building now stands firmly in the modern age as PE Loft Apartments–downtown Los Angeles, CA’s premier residential community.

Choose from 314 unique studio loft floor plans, including penthouse layouts thoughtfully architected to combine modern features with the structure’s original design to create a contemporary, yet still industrial chic aesthetic. Inside each apartment for rent, discover flexible layouts with wide windows, soaring 14- to 25-foot ceilings, and a contemporary kitchen.

Beyond bespoke residences, our community offers a host of lavish amenities. Beginning in our dramatically designed lobby and continuing to our rooftop terrace with pool, spa, cabanas, fireplaces, barbecue grills, and more, you will find striking design and breathtaking sights at every turn. Further entertainment is available in our game room, sauna, and fitness center.

Positioned in the aptly-named historic core of DTLA, our pet-friendly community is surrounded by a myriad of options for fitness, dining, shopping, clubbing, and more. Conveniently commute with nearby Metro rail and bus options. Easily move about the city using DASH bus routes or jump on nearby I-10, 101, and 110 for routes beyond the downtown core.

Price reflected is base rent and does not include mandatory or optional fees. Detailed fee information and fee schedules can be found on the community's Leasing Info page on our Essex website.
