History

[edit ]

The apartments were developed by their namesake – Isaac Newton Van Nuys – in 1913 as a financial center in the heart of Los Angeles. The building was designed by the architecture firm Morgan, Walls & Clements, who designed other notable landmarks such as the Mayan Theater, El Capitan Theater, and The Citadel.[1]

Upon its opening, First National Bank occupied the entire first floor and basement of the building, while Dean Witter & Company, Merrill Lynch, and other financial services firms occupied offices in the upper floors. The building served as a bank and office building until the late 1970s.

In 1982, the building was converted into a 299-unit residential complex reserved for low-income senior citizens via funds from the HUD and CRA/LA. The conversion also included rehabilitation, and the creation of 13,000 sq ft (1,200 m2) of retail space on the ground floor. The basement was converted into parking.

In 2018, the property was acquired by Related Companies, which purchased it from Aimco.[2]
