Toy Factory Lofts | DTLA Arts District Live/Work Spaces
Explore authentic, open-concept industrial lofts, premium resort-style amenities, and active MLS listings at the Toy Factory Lofts (1855 Industrial Street) with Downtown LA real estate specialist David Hernandez.
The Toy Factory Lofts building stands as one of the most culturally significant and architecturally celebrated residential conversions in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District. Originally constructed in 1924 as a manufacturing warehouse for the Star Trucking company and later utilized as a major West Coast toy factory, this massive block-long structure underwent a brilliant architectural transformation into true live/work condominiums in 2006. Positioned right across from its sister property, the Biscuit Company Lofts, the Toy Factory Lofts perfectly preserve the grit and structural grandeur of LA’s manufacturing era while integrating high-end modern upgrades built for creative urban lifestyles.
Residences within this iconic development feature authentic "hard loft" architectural elements that are highly coveted by artists, designers, and creative professionals: soaring 11-to-13-foot poured concrete ceilings, heavy structural columns, raw polished concrete floors, and expansive walls of industrial-style windows that flood the open floor plans with natural light. The flexible dual-purpose live/work zoning legally permits residential and commercial operations under a single footprint, making it a perfect canvas for photography studios, architectural offices, or premium creative workspaces.
