LA's Sierra Towers

Make that a whiskey sour at sunrise, doll face.

Isn't it loud?

Whishky shhour

are earthquakes a deterrent from living there?

Low ceilings

Massively expensive.

Joan sold hers.

LA earthquakes are terrifying. No way.

Joan’s taste is awful. But then so is she!

Gurl, why do you say that?

That is some bad motherfucking taste.

I had a friend who lived there. Very NYC apt luxury feeling when you drive up with valets, doormen etc, but his apartment was just a normal little crackerbox apartment with really nice views and a lot of mirrors.

WHy does Op's link sat Doheny Drive - when google maps say Doheny Road?

It looks beautiful from the street.

and I love the little building next door...very old Hollywood.

Is this where Candy Spelling houses her staff?

Dear God! The balcony's are narrow. Joan's apartment is quite a decent space inside, but she has managed to combine all the truly awful styles from each decade. I bet all the "marble" fittings are just painted MDF too.

The balcony's whats are narrow?

Most DLers wouldn’t fit through the sliding doors never mind onto the balcony!

LOL

[quote]a normal little crackerbox apartment

What the fuck's a crackerbox apartment?

I love it - but I don't understand it.

Wonderful views though, from her apartment and sky.

LA can "look" so wonderful.

Matthew Perry's former apt. there

Joan's style was Ming Deco. Also living in a 'cracker box' should be comprehensible to all--- with the exception of the Darfur Orphan who has never seen a cracker, much less its box.

Strange VERY QUEENY article and comments re Perry and the building in Variety.

If no stars lived there, it would just be an awful apartment block with crappy interiors.

I had my feet in the air and my asshole stuffed in that apartment.

[quote]Why don't the rich LA eldergays all move in and convert it to an unofficial retirement home?

Don't be silly OP, most rich people in LA live in mansions not apartments.

This is a proper LA home for the rich and gay.

R27 = >

Penthouse is on the market for $58M.

OP was talking about retirement. Learn to read!

[quote]If no stars lived there, it would just be an awful apartment block with crappy interiors.

Not really. It's a beautiful looking building in an excellent location.

If I were to spend those kind of bucks, I'd want a pool.

$58m to live there? To share a pool? At least the balcony is large enough to accommodate the hefty gentleman.

[quote]$58m to live there? To share a pool?

There is no pool.

The air quality of the higher floor flats must be horrific, given the extent of LA's smog, which must block the view much of the year.

Ughh 58 mil ? How grotesque. There are better more modern buildings in LA.

[quote]OP was talking about retirement. Learn to read!

A mansion can become a retirement building so I was on topic.

R35 scroll down on r30’s link. A couple floors up there appears to be a communal pool.

READ the listing:

"The building’s many amenities include [bold]a swimming pool[/bold], a fitness center, and valet parking for residents.

DL ICON Lindsay Lohan had a 3 bedroom pad there before she ruined her career. I recall she paid less than a million. Prices have gotten way out of hand.

That swimming pool better be covered in gold.

The pool looks a little...functional.

other pools around LA >

R42 that looks like a motel pool.

[quote]The next bubble is coming

Top end places in London are now coming down.

I'll bet the pool is never used.

They're so weird, Angelenos.

Ugh, I have been in better pools in Los Angeles.

Yes, it DOES look like a motel pool.

[quote] a fitness center

SMELLY!

$5.5 million for a 1 bedroom? WTF is that all about?

I can't think of many places in NY that cost that much for a 1 bedroom. Insane.

r36 is posting from 1965

I wonder how long it took them to get the stench of freebase fumes out of the walls of Matthew Perry's old apartment.

SHIERRA TOWERSH

I’d love to see Liza poolside showing off her clay models.

Omg Liza working with clay by the pool, with a cig hanging out of her mouth, would be worth the HOA fees!

Mmmm...yeahhhh, R55.

The ceiling height is 11'. That's not low; what am I missing?

That changes everything, R57. All apartments?

R57 - I believe that's only the penthouse. The other units look to be 8'.

Mirrors on every single wall can make a low ceiling seem higher.

an interior designer friend of mine told me it's quite popular with LA's gay designer community. But this was years ago, now it is probably too expensive now for your average designer.

A roster of stars at Sierra Towers ...

Rumor has it that Dean Martin sold his condo immediately after riding out the Sylmar Earthquake.

R61 it’s too expensive for just about everyone. I know it’s LA but $5m for a 1 bed?

A 1 bed when it was built cost roughly $70,000. Adjusted for inflation that’s around $450,000 today. So these places have outpaced inflation by more than 10x.

$5 mil for a one-bedroom in LA is ridiculous, who would pay that when you could get a much bigger place for the same amount?

Schhwimming pool

I’ve done LOTS of blow in that building. My favorite drug dealer of all time lived there. He was gorgeous, and had a HUGE cock.

We thought it was love, but it was the drugs. And his huge cock.

Low ceilings. Narrow balconies. Mirrrored walls.

Way to expensive for what you're getting. I'll take a mansion in Calabasas instead. $5.5 million dollars for a one bedroom? They've lost their damn minds.

They can have that.

Sierra Towers sounds like the name of a porn star.

Cary Leeds lived there in the 90's

Calling the Cary Leeds troll ...

The 1 bedroom is realistically worth about $650,000 max.

r73 Something is "worth" what someone will pay for it.

R72, Vive Le Troll!!!
