WORK / LIVE  LOFTS

The 500 Block of West Second Street is one of the best surviving examples of pre-WWII industrial blocks in Southern California. Arteco performed the adaptive re-use of three historic buildings in the district into twenty-two live/work lofts. Lofts feature open-beam ceilings, concrete floors, original brick walls, central heating and air, a full kitchen with stove, and full baths. Some units feature roll-up door access and some feature glass store-front frontage.

With portions dating to the 1890's, the Union Block West is one of the oldest structures in Pomona. It now features live/work artist lofts, retail spots, and the Rookery Ale House restaurant. La Bomba Vintage Clothing Boutique has been growing along with the Arts Colony since 1996.The second floor lofts occupy former classrooms and offices of the City's first grade school. In 2003, internationally renowned artist, Judy Chicago, led a team of eight local muralists to complete the "Envisioning the Future" mural on the western facade facing Thomas Plaza.

Arteco Partners completed the award-winning restoration effort in 2007. Historic features were preserved, such as the three-story-tall sawtooth skylights, while improvements were made for a vibrant mix of lofts, offices, galleries, boutiques, and entertainment venues. The Packing House is now a centerpiece of community life - the largest historic building in Claremont Village and one of its landmark attractions.

This 1931 Art Deco building was formerly the headquarters of the Progress Bulletin, now known as the Daily Bulletin. Arteco's revitalization exposed the beautiful facade, and inside, formed concrete ceilings and other architectural delights were rediscovered. The Progress now features upper floor live/work artist lofts, ground floor retail, and a non-profit community art gallery receives donated space in the basement.

The 1915 Investment building was partially modernized in the 1980's. After Arteco Partners acquired the building, they revitalized it with open floor plan live/work lofts on the second and third floors, creative offices on the fourth and fifth floors, and with two non-profit community art galleries in the basement. Two retail spaces activate the ground level, including local favorites, Pho Vina Vietnamese restaurant and Homage Brewery.
