Group attached the name Pegasus to its new 322-unit apartment complex in downtown L.A. to symbolize the rebirth of the once-vacant office building designed in the late 1940s by architect Welton Beckett. City officials said the 12-story building at 612 South Flower St. is the largest adaptive reuse Adaptive reuse is the process of adapting old structures for new purposes. When the original use of a structure changes or is no longer required, as with older buildings from the industrial revolution, architects have the opportunity to change the primary function of the project completed since City Council approved an ordinance in 1999 that relaxed parking, density, height and other codes for historic and other older buildings. "The Pegasus is a big step forward toward our goal of creating a 24-hour downtown," said Hamid Behdad, director of adaptive reuse projects for Mayor James Hahn's economic development office. Kor pumped in $55 million, including $35 million for renovations of Pegasus, which it purchased in 2001.

It's the type of project that has become the hallmark of the Kor Group's portfolio, which includes 3,500 apartment units, including 2,500 in Hollywood, downtown, Mid-Cities and the Westside. The company specializes in buying and renovating would-be apartment buildings and hotels, rather than buying occupied structures in the hopes that the market sends rates up. That strategy, in part, prompted Kor Chief Executive Brad Korzen to part ways with his former partner, Jeff Elowe, in 2000, a decade after the two formed Elkor Reality Group in Chicago. Korzen kept all of the California properties while Elowe kept everything outside the state. "We wanted to pursue higher-risk, higher-return investments," said Gregory Schem, president of Kor. "We recognized that the market was getting saturated with people doing the same thing." |
