1100 Wilshire condos

I agree with Gabs G. review it’s spot on but now I’m going to vent even more. I’ve been here for just as many years as well and the newest management company (Seabreeze Management) is the absolute worst they have had in the building to date. Those that are somewhat new to the building have no idea what the building used to be versus how it is today but those that do have definitely felt the changes. Little get’s done around the building as before and the response time to resident issues is always delayed or unresponsive. Our building at one time had solid reviews now it just keeps going down and for good reasons.
WHAT IT USED TO BE VERSUS WHAT IT IS NOW:
1. 24 Hour Pool/​Jacuzzi access gone. Apparently some people were making noise so now instead of fining the noisy homeowner (s) the building association enforced specific hours. If you have a backwards schedule don’t plan on using the Jacuzzi at night to relax. Not everyone is loud and the majority of residents do have respect for others but now I guess we are all to blame.
2. Guest Parking gone. This is and has been an on going battle that is just too complicated BUT I have to say before the new management came into the building everyone (building owners, HMOA, older management) seemed to play in the sandbox at ease even with their ongoing issues. When the new management «Seabreeze» came in and replaced the old management sand started being thrown around on all sides and everyone just started fighting leading to the mess we are dealing with now.
3. Professional concierge gone: I’m not sure why Seabreeze decided to higher a security company to run the front desk but they did and unfortunately that’s what you end up with, a security company with no professional hospitality training at all. They did decide to keep a few of the trained hospitality staff but they eventually all left or now in other positions. Its crazy to think that the management company has no understanding that people go to school for Hotel and Hospitality Management, these are the trained people that should be at the front desk to greet our guests and deal with our issues not a security company staff. Hire a security guard to secure the building if need be.
The previous concierge companies that we had were great and rarely if ever did I have issues. Now I have issues so much that I don’t even bother to call or follow up, basically I’m over it.
Update: Apparently… the building just hired a new front desk company and again it’s a security company most likely with no professional trained staff in the Hotel and Hospitality Management field. Here we go again, round two.
4. Management company that cares gone: I could go on and on about this one but I’ll just list a recent experience that hopefully will help understand why I don’t feel they care as with past management companies.
The previous management company «Action Life» (and the one before them) always cared enough to make sure no issues were left unresolved. Most residents even had Angie the manager’s cell phone number in the event there was an issue that needed to be handled after hours. I remember the front desk staff unable to locate my spare key when I got locked out one night. They looked for over an hour but was unable to find it so Angie drives to the building at 11pm and finds it in about 5 minutes. This would be considered a scene straight out of the Twilight Zone if the current manager would have driven to the building to find my key.
–Versus New Management–
The evening when guest parking privileges were taken away completely last month and no resident had yet to be notified I called the current manager on her cell phone around 5:30pm asking what was going on. She did inform me about the issue in full and said that residents would be notified in detail about the loss of guest parking the following day in an email. Why the following day? Why not then? Why make everyones guest pay when you know they will get stuck with charges upon exiting? Later when I went down to the lobby the front desk concierge asked how I got the managers cell phone number. She must have called and asked if he had given me the number moments after we got off the phone. The thing is she included her cell phone number in her old email signature but then quickly removed it later. That’s how much they care about residents, enough not to be bothered.
Now when I have a really important issue that I’ve waited patiently on I have to include a few of the HMOA board members (the few emails I have) just to get a response to the pending issue.
It’s really become quite ridiculous around here to say the least
Update 2÷27÷16:
As for the «New» security company mentioned above… Someone broken into my vehicle just the other night for the first time in 4 years. After speaking with the new guard he tells me that he was TOLD to ONLY safeguard SIX (6) specific parking levels. Basically, if your car is parked on those other floors you’re pretty much screwed now.

I’ve been living here for about 4 years and when I first moved in I was happy with everything, enough parking space, clean building overall, concierge, and enough guest parking (which is very important to me because I have family and friends that visit me and sometimes spend the night).
In the last 1 ½ year thing have changed for the WORST in the building. Guest parking was changed into storage spaces (storage for lease) & storage for bottega Louie (restaurant on 7^th and grand) leaving us RESIDENTS with less than 20 guest parking (including handicap) spaces for the entire building. That was a stupid and ridiculous idea, thanks to Adam T.
And like I said before things in this building are going from worse to worse… Resident are not allow to have their guest parking overnight in the guest parking floor — which means that if family and friends want to spend the night they can NOT park in the GUEST parking area, so where are they suppose to park? Exactly!
As a resident I pay around $ 800 a month in HOA fees and I’m not allowed to have my friends and family leave their car overnight? That’s is crazy!
— please do not buy in this building, go and spend your money somewhere else.
–people getting payed under the table to manipulate the HOA board! If you don’t believe me do you homework!
— I’m not he only unhappy resident here!

Been here just a couple weeks and I love it here! The amenities are great and the building is clean! The entire staff is super nice! Glad I made the move :))

Quiet, amazing views, amazing pool deck, absolutely no parking issues at all. Almost unlimited guest parking. In my opinion, unbeatable for the price. I looked at a lot of newer places in the area, but honestly, I didn’t find one that paralleled this place (The Ritz being the exception… but that’s a totally different ballgame). I’m absolutely amazed at how clean and quiet this place is. The carpets in the hallways are always clean; even trash shoot area is spotless. Probably the only complaint I could levy is that it is too calm! If you are looking for more of the downtown LA party life, go elsewhere. There are better options (Watermarke, 1010 Wilshire, etc). But if you want a quiet, clean, professional atmosphere, this is the place.

I bought, and have lived in the building since 2006. As a Realtor I had plenty of buildings to choose from. I chose 1100 due to its fantastic views, two parking spaces per unit plus free guest parking, and its unapologetic luxury. The 17^th-​floor pool deck, screening-​room, business center, large gym, and concierge-​style front desk is on par with buildings on the Wilshire Corridor or Beverly Hills. I’ve never regretted purchasing my home and if asked today I would still choose 1100 over any building downtown.
This link will give you more stats and features of the building.

First word that comes to mind? GORGEOUS! This building has insanely gorgeous views of LA (especially from the helicopter pad on the roof! Yes thats right, theres a freakin’ helicopter pad!)
Second thing that comes to mind… PARKING! 17 floors of it! Woop woop! No parking woes here!
Third; the building has a very sexy classy vibe that I’m absolutely in love with. Check out the pool deck; its to die for.
Not that I can afford to live here, but I feel that for the location and quality of the units, rent isn’t all that bad. I checked it out today and I saw a 1 br for $ 2,200. Thats almost double what I pay for my current digs down by the beach, but for a high rise in downtown it doesn’t seem horrendous. Shoot, I’d take it if I was raking in more dough. Maybe some day…

if you’re a fan of parking, let me tell you, this place has it in SPADES

holy moly, i can’t believe it. next time i need to park a car, you better bet your left nut i’m gonna park it here, at 1100 wilshire.
A+ FIVE STARS TWO THUMBS UP.

One of the best place I’ve ever seen in LA. View is fantastic especially at night. Everything is very convenient to access including parking, pool, etc. For me, only complaint is that the area prohibits smoking. :(

One of the best places to live downtown! Absolutely NO parking issues at all, for residences or your guests. Pool, spa, cabanas, fire pit, and BBQ’s on the 17^th deck. A gym, a movie room, and a conference center. Doesn’t get much better than this.
