The Arts District Doesn’t Look Like DTLA

LOS ANGELES—The Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles is stilling finding its design foothold. There are some developers bringing in new, bright buildings and others delivering textured and creative properties that fit the typecast of the neighborhood. Either way, neither of these properties look like the ultra luxury modern high-rise towers in the rest of the Downtown Los Angeles market, where development is booming.

“There is a lot of consistency in the development of South Park, and I think that here, in the Arts District, we have a little more freedom to really differentiate yourself,” Tom Wulf, SVP at Lowe Enterprises, tells GlobeSt.com. “You have a variety of texture and context that is all around you that likely isn’t going to change anytime soon. We have a long list of older historic buildings, and there is a great fabric and texture that comes along with it. You don’t necessarily have that in other pockets of Downtown, and it is exciting.”
