The final phase will convert an original Angeleno warehouse into 68 state-of-the-art lofts and townhomes for a total of 72,451 square feet. When finished, Barker Block will comprise 309 condo units.
The Barker Block condo units, developed by Blackstone and CityView in partnership with The Kor Group, will be the first for-sale homes in Los Angeles since the economic downturn. The project is the result of a $150 million investment, with $25 million committed for the final phase. Construction of the final 68 units is expected to generate around 100 jobs for the local economy.
