Make Magnus Walker's LA Warehouse Your Car Collection Paradise

Professional Porsche collector and renaissance man Magnus Walker is, in some ways, the ultimate face of automotive passions in Los Angeles. His chill demeanor and friend-to-all attitude give off the vibe of his past days as a professional surfer. He’s regularly in attendance at every car event in the city, he’s constantly got something new revolving in and out of his garage, and he always has time for anyone who needs it. Walker has a uniquely weather-and-time-worn style, just like his warehouse downtown. His infamous collection of Porsches has been housed in this building since 2000, while he has occupied the loft upstairs. If you’ve always dreamed of being in the center of it all, here’s your chance.

The building has stood in this location for 122 years, and back when Walker purchased the property it wasn’t exactly prime real estate. Over the last twenty-five years the neighborhood has developed from a ramshackle collection of warehouses into a fully fledged LA City Life locale. Instead of crime and grime, it’s surrounded by hipster coffee spots, upscale eateries, and Spotify’s corporate offices.

A tour of Walker’s loft was recently featured on Everhouse. It’s a gorgeous building and has lots of room for activities.

It seems unlikely that this warehouse will continue to be a car person’s paradise, honestly. The real estate has become too valuable, which is likely why Walker wants to get out. With original brick and patinated wood floors, this would make a gorgeous HQ for some weird tech startup or a reclusive billionaire’s private hideaway. I’ve personally been in The Magnus Walker Warehouse, and it’s a beautiful location. I don’t think I need anything close to 25,000 square feet for my collection of cars, but I definitely find myself wishing I had the spare cash to buy this place.
There’s no price on the listing, but warehouses in downtown Los Angeles typically rent for $22 per square foot annually, so don’t expect it to be inexpensive. If this place is any less than $10 million, I’ll be very surprised.
