Removed scaffolding reveals a building ready to get its finishing touches.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES —

Just in time for its Saturday Premiere event, the Rowan Lofts has shed its scaffolding and once again said hello to the Historic Core.

There's still much to be done. Today, construction crews are hard at work installing glass into the building's window frames.

Even in the building's unfinished state, it's striking how completely the removal of the scaffolding changes the feel of the corner.

You're right, Eric. The change is dramatic. Before it felt a bit like crawling through a mine shaft when walking by the building on 5th Street. Now it feels open and one can even enjoy the trees! Thanks for the great photo.

Agreed. The corner is so much more appealing now. I hope they can do what most of the other buildings can't seem to do. Get decent retail tenants.
