Originally built in 1925 as the landmark S.H. Kress Department Store, The Kress Lofts remain one of Long Beach’s most iconic residential conversions—where Beaux-Arts architecture meets modern urban living. Set in a coveted corner position on the eighth floor, Unit 8D has been dramatically reimagined, blending industrial volume with refined finishes and elevated functionality. The brand-new kitchen is a showpiece, featuring bespoke walnut cabinetry, Taj Mahal honed stone countertops and backsplash, an oversized island with bar seating, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully remodeled—the primary with a marble walk-in shower and additional built-in storage, and the powder room with a striking green tile feature wall. Throughout the loft, soaring 15-foot ceilings, exposed brick, concrete floors, and massive warehouse-style windows pay homage to the building’s original character while capturing exceptional light and breathtaking views of the city and morning sunrises. New contemporary light fixtures add sculptural drama, while Alexa-enabled smart home features allow intuitive control of lighting, audio, and the newer HVAC system. Gorgeous millwork and a beautiful new gallery television adds to the home’s polished sophistication. One of the few units to offer modern climate control and premier deeded parking, this loft also includes generous storage throughout, a spacious walk-in closet, an elevated sleeping loft for overnight guests or creative use, and an in-unit washer and dryer. The building features secure entry, a rooftop lounge with panoramic views and BBQ area, and an unbeatable location in the heart of downtown—just moments from restaurants, shops, galleries, transit, and the waterfront. Eligible for Mills Act tax benefits, Unit 8D is a rare opportunity to own a historically significant space that lives effortlessly modern.Show Description MLS® NumberPW25174923
