LOS ANGELES, CA - Century West Partners, a JV of Fifield Companies and Cypress Equity Investments, the Los Angeles-based developer of sophisticated luxury apartment communities, has completed NEXT on Sixth, an uber-luxury community aiming to raise the bar in LA rental living. Boasting exceptional in-unit features and finishes, unparalleled community amenities, and an upscale artwork collection, the community is continuing the renaissance in Los Angeles’ thriving Koreatown.
“The completion of NEXT on Sixth marks a major milestone for Century West Partners and the neighborhood of Koreatown,” said Steve Fifield, co-founder and principal of Century West Partners. “NEXT on Sixth is a true community collaboration, delivering luxury rental living to a thriving and sought-after neighborhood of Los Angeles while providing a coveted lifestyle package to many.”
The seven-story NEXT on Sixth community presents 398 stylishly-designed rental units offered in a collection of contemporary studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floorplans. High-style, tech-friendly living is offered in units decked with: luxe adornments and materials; stainless steel appliance packages; white Quartz countertops; gracious eight-foot entry doors; lofty nine-foot ceilings; wood plank style flooring; full-size, front-load washers and dryers; walk-in closets with built-ins; electronic keyless entry; USB charging ports; built-in audio systems with in-ceiling speakers; and floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of the downtown Los Angeles skyline; among many others. Apartments are situated on the community’s upper stories above a ground level featuring one of Los Angeles’ few urban-concept Target retail stores. With lobbies on both Commonwealth and Virgil, NEXT on Sixth is the epitome of convenience and luxury.
“Securing an urban Target at NEXT on Sixth is a major coup for our residents and the surrounding community,” said Michael Sorochinsky, co-founder and principal of Century West Partners. “The convenience it brings is a major component of the complete lifestyle package NEXT on Sixth offers, including sophisticated in-unit amenities and robust community offerings, at an incredible location.”
With contemporary, thought-provoking art integral to its brand, NEXT on Sixth features renowned artists in large-scale custom commissions that include two striking 50’ high contemporary billboard-size paintings adorning the community’s exterior, visible to the surrounding community via the street. One of the major murals is a creation of Sam Rodriguez, a Bay Area artist inspired by graffiti culture and trained in fine arts. Known for noteworthy brand collaborations with Puma, LinkedIn, Google, and others, Rodriguez’s custom ‘Xochitl’ mural depicts a beautiful cross-cultural woman with symbols, including the Korean symbol for flower, artfully overlayed on her face, symbolically representing the neighborhood’s vibrant bloom. The second mural, created by Erik Jones, celebrates the diverse culture of Koreatown, featuring Korean symbols for Community, Unity, Koreatown, Friendship, and Love.
The 7’ tall ‘Radiance’ sculpture, a visually-complex geometric installation inspired by Korean fan art showcasing colors that evoke the sunsets of Los Angeles, is a focal point of the community’s interior courtyard. The polished stainless steel and powder coated metal commission was created by artist Curtis Pittman, a Pacific Northwest artist whose work joins the fields of architecture and sculpture. The interior of NEXT on Sixth also acts as a dynamic gallery, with numerous pivotal works showcased throughout, including pieces from Ryland Arnoldi (among others) and hand-blown glass chandeliers by Higgins Glass.
“NEXT on Sixth showcases incredible artists of our day with upscale interior installations that are sure to turn heads,” said Randy Fifield, principal of Century West Partners.
