Exclusive Penthouse Apartments

Perched at the peak of Mid-Wilshire, one-of-a-kind penthouses at Desmond pair historic Art Deco surroundings with rare, house-like scale and expansive residential footprint. Crowned by soaring ceilings, expansive living footprints, and private rooftop decks, these top-floor residences offer an exclusive urban retreat where historic Miracle Mile charm meets wide-open skyline views.

Above the Rooftops

Top-tier living on the 7th floor of Desmond brings an open, layered perspective to Mid-Wilshire. Free from surrounding high-rises, these classic penthouses offer open, sweeping sightlines across Miracle Mile’s historic mid-rise architecture.

Because the neighborhood’s character was forged during the 1920s under strict city height limits, the surrounding skyline remains remarkably open. Your view from the top captures this unique urban landscape—from looking down at The Desmond’s iconic Art Deco tower to gazing out toward the Downtown Los Angeles skyline and the Hollywood Hills beyond.

Grand Balconies & Roof Decks

Indoor living expands effortlessly outdoors across the penthouse collection. Private balconies come standard with every penthouse residence, but their designs vary to offer distinct outdoor experiences:

• Generous Terrace Footprints: Sprawling, extra-deep balconies with ample room for full outdoor lounge furniture, al fresco dining, and container gardens.
• Multi-Level Outdoor Living: Select multi-level penthouse plans feature private balconies on both floors, giving you separate outdoor spaces connected to both your main living area and upper-level quarters.
• Exclusive Rooftop Decks: Select floor plans also offer private rooftop decks, an exclusive feature that's unique to the penthouse collection.

Ideal Miracle Mile Location

Situated in heart of Miracle Mile, residents are steps away from world-class arts institutions—including LACMA, the La Brea Tar Pits, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The neighborhood combines historic visual charm with effortless connectivity, boosted by the newly expanded Metro transit corridor that makes commuting across LA simpler than ever.
