Downtown L.A.'s Revitalization, Far from Over

LOS ANGELES—The revitalization of Downtown Los Angeles continues to be a hot topic of discussion in the commercial real estate industry, with many speculating on when activity will peak. Overall, property values rise as the market gains influence regionally, nationally and even internationally, resulting from capital and resources being infused to meet the demands of this growing urban epicenter. As jobs and population increase, a myriad of new restaurants, bars, retail, and other amenities are being added every year. For investors, this means there is no better time to snatch up existing properties and lots, with many Downtown neighborhoods promising exciting opportunities for growth. 

There has been strong retail momentum in active hubs such as Broadway, FIGat7th, the Fashion District, and Historic Core. New-to-LA retailers, in addition to those already rooted in LA, recognize Downtown’s emergence as a retail destination as well as the city’s center for entertainment, dining, culture, nightlife, and urban living.
