The Wilshire Regent

Originally built in 1963, The Wilshire Regent stands tall with its 23 stories. It has witnessed the transformation of the Wilshire Corridor. The Wilshire Regent wasn’t always a condo building. It started as one of the first co-ops in the area. Imagine, back in the 60s, this being one of the tallest structures on the Wilshire Corridor. The fifth tallest in all of Los Angeles. The views were spectacular. Residents could gaze upon the sprawling hills of Bel Air, the emerging skylines of Century City and Beverly Hills, the bustling heart of Downtown Los Angeles, and even the serene campus of UCLA. Some lucky residents even had glimpses of the Pacific Ocean. Over time, new buildings have altered the vista, but the prestige remains. The Wilshire Regent offers 208 units, ranging from cozy studios to expansive two-bedroom apartments. Many of the original layouts have been combined, creating even larger, more luxurious living spaces. The Wilshire Regent offers more than just a place to live. It offers a lifestyle. Residents enjoy a heated pool for year-round swims, a relaxing spa, a sun-drenched sundeck, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and elegant banquet halls for special occasions. There’s also a dedicated concierge always ready to assist, convenient valet parking, and even guest suites for visiting friends and family. As part of the HOA dues, utilities like electricity, cable, and internet are included. The Wilshire Regent combines historical significance with modern luxury, providing a unique living experience in the heart of Westwood. Even Hollywood has recognized the allure of The Wilshire Regent. It served as the backdrop for Joan Merrill’s residence in the novel “Stranger at Home”. Even the stylish secret agent Derek Flint called The Wilshire Regent home in the classic film “In Like Flint”.
