Rowan Lofts And Condos

ROWAN: An L.A. INNOVATOR
Designed by John Parkinson (noted for his architecture of Los Angeles City Hall 
and The Pacific Stock Exchange) and G. Edwin Bergstrom in 1911, the Rowan 
Building was formerly home to many of the city’s oldest and most prominent

downtown area.  Built by famed real estate developer Robert A. Rowan and 
A.C. Bilicke, the building is located at the corner of Fifth and Spring Streets,

known as "The Wall Street of the West."

THE BUILDING

Deeply rooted in the history of Downtown Los Angeles, The Rowan is an 
iconic loft residence that is a landmark of timeless elegance within the Old 
Bank District. Located in the epicenter of an innovative neighborhood replete 
with eclectic restaurants, galleries and shops, The Rowan is an intricate part 
of this progressive urban vanguard.
 
The Rowan boasts exceptional natural light, owing to its extremely high 
ratio of window to square footage, combined with it’s southerly facing 
orientation. The original mahogany sash is beautifully restored, featuring 
single-paned, laminated glass windows in operable frames. With most

city views while also providing natural airflow.
 
The true effect of these uncommonly large windows, set against 
exposed brick, is best appreciated directly by touring the site. Description 
cannot articulate the quality of the space framed in natural light by day, 
and skyline by night.
