I won't lie, I found out about this economic principle on the Netflix show "Explained," the diamond episode. Since then I've been thinking: can DTLA office space be a veblen good? A veblen good is type of product that increases in demand when the price increases. For instance, the quality of attorney services is often fallaciously thought that the higher the hourly the rate, the better the attorney and his or her services. The same goes with diamonds. Some people might say "Oh that diamond is priced so high... it must be of an exquisite quality" or, "I can't get buy my wife that diamond it's too cheap, she'll find out, then I'll never hear the end of it!" But can this phenomena occur in the search for office space? Well, the answer is yes and no. Suppose you're looking at a list of DTLA office spaces and one is ranked $2.60 per square foot and the other rate is $1.50 per square foot. What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it, "Wow the latter is a great deal!" or, "The latter must be very bad quality!" Well, I don't know what your answer is, but I could see someone thinking the office space must be of an awful quality. A logical person would visit each office building. She would personally assess the quality of the view, the flooring, the natural light, the ceilings, the lighting, the common areas, the amenities, and et cetera. Then that person would determine for herself whether the space for $1.50 per square foot is simply awful and the rate is indeed justified, or it is simply just a great deal. My concern is that people will assume the latter with my listings that are priced aggressively: not realize it's a great deal and think it must be awful. You might say, "Donegan are you worrying that your clients looking for office space in DTLA are stupid?" My answer to that is, "Not really." I think if people aren't studying the spaces closely, and doing a preliminary search, they might just toss that one out of the pile just because it's so far below the other buildings nearby it's not even worth touring. Actually, I normally assume my clients are smart. I assume they'll shop around. So if I see the market going one way or another, I'll price them in anticipation for that; and expect people to see it's a good deal. But what about those decision makers who aren't meticulous searchers? Ones that make decisions quickly and move forward full throttle. Well, often times, business owners make decisions like this. It's one of the DISC personality types, the D for dominant. And business owners are the ones who rent office spaces. So what is the solution? Well, there is no perfect way to market something, I suppose. I'll continue to assume my renters are smart and see that my listings are priced well. But I'll also keep in mind the possibility that some people looking for DTLA office space may be quick to judge just by the price per square foot being low.

For me, it has been an interesting ride in commercial real estate from when I first came to DTLA in 2008 to now. It was the lowest point of the recession. I was homeless at that time, and then I found myself staying with a friend who was living in a warehouse in the Fashion District. I connected with his landlord and started renting warehouse space for artists to do the same. Because I was so successful at it, I wasn't surprised when the residential market exploded with growth. And equally, I wasn't surprised that the industrial style or warehouse-look became increasingly popular. I quickly found my services more in demand for smaller commercial real estate space than residential space. Also, I liked commercial better, and legally converting commercial space to live/work was and still is far too onerous, costly, and time consuming of a task. And it just was not worth dealing with how over-regulated, and quite frankly, bullshit-oriented the Los Angeles bureaucracy machine made it to make living in commercial space legal. So I quickly focused on office, warehouse, showroom, & retail uses only. At the time, space having an industrial look in Los Angeles office space was a unique thing. And not to disparage it, because it is still as awesome as ever, after 12 years, the warehouse space look in office space is now basically the status quo. So as you probably know the Downtown LA renaissance burgeoned into full flowering mode. Other things happened too. Ecommerce took flight. The face of retail has been changed forever. The type of commercial tenants in DTLA began to change from lawyer offices & sewing factory tenants to artists & "creative" tenants. And guess who specialized in artists and creative tenants? :) Also companies became more ecommerce focused in their use. Manufactures steadily moved overseas and continue to do so with California's over-regulation and increases in minimum wage. As ecommerce flourishes, ground floor space in the Fashion District have seen showroom tenants dropping like flies, and dropping rent prices. This fact, and all the new development that has occurred has created a surplus of cheap cool ground floor space. And this surplus, has also amplified the surplus that has been created in the office market as well, because at the end of the day renters are going to compare pricing, location, style, and amenities and an increase in ground floor space also affects the overall creative office market. Countless abandoned buildings or buildings that were once all sewing factories sold and were converted to live/work lofts. Many also converted into creative office buildings. Brokers sold developers/buyers on the idea that "You can get $3psf if you convert to creative office" and well, buyers bought it. Well, right now, it is pretty damn hard to achieve $3psf for office space in most of DTLA. Another factor has been that, with the conversion of types of uses of space, there was once a far less supply of small office spaces in Downtown LA. As a result, more co-working spaces businesses have popped up, effectively increasing the completion of attaining tenants looking for space for 2000sf or less. So basically, after such a long development and redevelopment run, now everyone and their mother is trying to lease out their commercial space to artists, and smaller commercial spaces are more abundant, and well the DTLA office market is more competitive overall, a lot more competitive. There is a surplus but it is a manageable surplus. It is not a huge, and not sure if I want to say big, but there is definitely strong competition out there. Since everyone is largely doing the same style, the name of the game has largely been who can offer the best price-per-square foot. And renters now a days, care a lot more about price per square foot than they use to. I do not see these trends in the DTLA office space market ending soon. Depending on the economy goes, we could be looking at a continued slight surplus for at least a year. But the good news is there are things that can help landlords be more competitive, aside from price. Amenities are a nice thing, like a roof lounge, an on-site cafe or market, a shared common area of any kind like a game room, kitchen space, meeting/conference room, gym, and et cetera. And of course, we here at dtlarealestate.com are an incredible resource for landlords and tenants of all kinds looking for office space in Los Angeles, not to mention warehouse, showroom, and retail space as well!

Every second Thursday of the month Spring Street from 2nd St to 9th Street hosts Downtown LA's ArtWalk Event. The stretch is informally dubbed "Gallery Row" and all of these galleries open their doors to the public. Even more traditional retailers get involved hosting events and exhibitions. Food trucks and sidewalk vendors crowd the streets. Over the past few years it has quickly become one of Downtown's "don't miss" events. One of the questions that comes up frequently among artists is how do I display my work during this event? One of the easiest methods could be having your own gallery right in the middle of the event. DTLARealEstate.com is proud to present the opportunity to take over a small gallery space at 333 S Spring St. The gallery is a ground floor space measuring 644 sq ft. The rate is three dollars per square foot which well below market value for a sub 1000 sq ft space. There is also 844 sq of mezzanine space which the new tenant will have the option to lease at a negotiable rate. This is a 15 month sublease after which the new tenant can negotiate for a new longer term lease with the building. For more information please view our website at dtlarealestate.com

If you walk through any neighborhood in Los Angeles you're likely to come across one of nearly 1500 concrete buildings that were constructed before 1976. Full concrete buildings became popular throughout Los Angeles around the turn of the Century due to their durability. In 1976 the city determined that while sturdy these building were very vulnerable to the side to side motions of earthquakes. Over the next twenty five years the city began the process of having these retrofitted with steel beams. Today these buildings are perfectly safe and are a testament to an architectural rage of the past. People might guess that the first concrete structure was built in Downtown Los Angeles but it actually sits in the MacArthur Park area at 601 S Rampart Blvd. It was constructed in 1910 and today exists as the Rampart Arms Apartments. Recently multiple retail spaces have opened up in the building and offer an exciting opportunity to launch a business in a rapidly emerging area. It is the feeling of many stakeholders that MacArthur Park/Westlake will soon become a de facto suburb of downtown. If you are interested in this exciting opportunity you can find more details on our main page.

Commercial real estate in Koreatown Los Angeles is an interesting thing because Koreatown is so vibrant and diverse with historic buildings and brand new buildings and little bars, restaurants, and cafe gems that are hiding in every nook and cranny of the city. This building is no exception. Haddon Hall, built in 1926, is an apartment building with retail space now available. This building has a beautiful raw brick facade, and unfortunately the previous owners covered up some of the unique architectural details of the retail. Fortunately, the new owners of this building are moving forward with improvements to bring back the architectural historic design integrity, first of which includes exposing the covered up archway windows. This however, will make coming up with a way for business owners to have visible signage a challenge that will require some creativity, but we here at dtlarealestate.com aren't one to back down from a challenge! In any case, these spaces will not be hard to lease since there are not many small retail spaces for lease available listed at such reasonable prices per square foot. This area is slowly gentrifying, just like Downtown Los Angeles. These retail availabilities are a prime opportunity for a young business to get started and develop into a brand with multiple locations. If you have a retail business with a hip concept that caters to the growing gentrified population of Koreatown, we here at dtlarealestate.com will be happy to schedule a showing with you. For this and more commercial real estate for lease in Koreatown LA give us a call!

A Downtown Diamond in the Rough Very Rough Like many of the best finds in downtown Los Angeles real estate, there is a gem hiding in plain sight. You wouldn't know it from looking at the exterior of the building located at 229-241 East 7th Street, but upstairs there are four amazing spaces that can be combined in a variety of ways. Many hopeful tenants who want to lease in Downtown Los Angeles covet 20-foot ceilings, central HVAC, 24/7 access and an adjacent parking lot; this property has it all! [caption id="attachment_689" align="aligncenter" width="571"] Warehouse space in Downtown Los Angeles[/caption] Situated on a transitional block of 7th street, you can see the grit turn glint. It is across the street from Santee Court, home to over 200 hundred downtown LA residential lofts. There is nothing sweeter to an Angelino than a one-block commute. Standing on the front sidewalk of the building, looking a few blocks West, you can watch the new Korean Air skyscraper making its way to the high point of the LA City skyline. Fortunately, this building will be getting a paint job soon, as it desperately needs it!  Hopefully the colors will be consistent with the creative interiors.  We'd like to do dark gray with a neon green accent, but we will have to see what the owners say!  This building was actually purchased not long ago.  Having sold recently, the building also has a new property management company!  Everyone seems to be on board with upgrading this commercial building in DTLA! [caption id="attachment_688" align="aligncenter" width="599"] Creative DTLA Office Space[/caption] Last but not least, this building also has to ground floor retail spaces for lease!  Being that this building is situated at the border of the Fashion District and the Toy District, and walking distance from the Historic Core, pretty much any type of tenant you can think of could potentially be a good fit!  The building also has a private parking lot situated next to it, and the spaces include parking!  This could be the great deal you are looking for.

Property Management in DTLA. Have you ever met a Downtown Los Angeles commercial real estate property owner? It might be a little like spotting a unicorn. The truth is, most Downtown LA real estate is owned by international investors. So what does this mean for those of us who live, work and play in DTLA? It means that some of the gentrification efforts are slowed down due to out-of-touch property owners. Have you ever noticed a great building hidden under an old paint job, in need of some light maintenance, and wondered why this great building has been left unkempt in a rapidly gentrifying area? The answer is property management. With owners being remotely located, the property manager is left responsible for the property management and property maintenance, but not all managers know what’s best for the property and the investment. In fact, managers are often reluctant to ask owners for the funds necessary to update old properties. Ironically, in an attempt to save a few thousand dollars, they end up costing their property owners tens of thousands of dollars! In my experience, some managers are too shortsighted. Take the Fashion District for example. Downtown LA’s Fashion District has become a destination spot for retail shoppers all over the city.  However, most typical retailers prefer more traditional retail locations in other areas of Downtown that are less about wholesale: for instance, the Arts District, South Park, or Bunker Hill.  To lease your commercial space for top-dollar, you need to have the right management company in place, assuring that the value is there for both tenants and property owners. Wholesale District property management and Toy District property management is a great example of this point. Buildings in these districts are being managed the same way they were decades ago, while at the same time trying desperately to lease for top-dollar. The buildings that have signed on with property management firms and who have made reasonable upgrades to their properties have seen the returns on their investment and have added to the gentrification efforts; beautifying the neighborhood, increasing foot-traffic, and attracting top-tier tenants who are willing to pay more for the added value. The lesson here is to outsource your Fashion District, Toy District, or Wholesale district property management to professionals, like those at dtlarealestate.com. Donegan McCuaig knows property management and he knows what it takes to keep your building looking great and attracting the best tenants at the most competitive price.

Happy to be working with this owner! Had been trying to list his building in Little Tokyo and one day he said, lease this! It's ironic because warehouse space is what we are best at. Whether it's ground floor or creative office style or for manufacturing or retail space, leasing warehouse space style is what we do! Anyway, this building has outstanding loading and a private gated parking lot. Could fit more than 15 cars in here if you do it all tandem.

This space is clean, nice, and importantly, affordable! Building has central HVAC along with your own private entrance and 24 hour access! Space is only $1 per square foot and is minutes away from central Downtown LA with all the amenities one could want.

Space also has it's own entrance from the street. Stair access, no elevator. Interestingly, this intersection on Hill Street and Pico Boulevard has an aggregation of watch/clock shops. Anyway, where else are you going to find $1psf with central a/c and 24 hour access in Downtown Los Angeles other than with dtlarealestate.com!

So basically I've been trying to get this listing for a year. It's a long story, not one of the likes that would excite you, so I'll leave it out. But with some very random very lucky chance, here it is! This building is a four story building built in 1907 on Olive Street between 6th Street and 7th Street in Downtown LA's Jewelry District. Like many buildings of its time, this building is built out of raw wood and raw brick, and luckily for us that's a style that's really desirable in Downtown Los Angeles right now. I don't know exactly how big each floor is, but it is around 6000 square feet. The third floor is occupied by the owner's company, a jewelry business. But at this moment, the second and fourth floor are completely empty! So the retail space on this building has had a sign that says "Office Space for Lease" on it forever, and it isn't obvious that the retail space is available because it's not an all glass store front. But there's a "Retail Space for Lease" sign on it now, by the likes of yours truly. Apparently the retail space was a restaurant space a long time ago, and when they vacated the completely gutted the space down to it's bare bones, as you can see from the photos. So, yes, you'll have to use your imagination with this space! I believe it would be great for a restaurant space for lease because one of such seems like a good addtion to the mix of the current tenants which are a cafe and a liquor store. Additionally, there is an Italian Restaurant space behind the building that is also part of this property, which is another unique thing about the building. The existing restaurant is basically hidden and to access it you need to walk past through the lobby to this discrete hallway! As for the creative office space available upstairs, what makes it unique is the classy historic feel. I could see a progressive law firm occupying the space. Again, raw brick walls, exposed flat ceilings, and the units currently have old drabby carpeting that can be removed to expose the original raw wood floor, which can be sanded and refinished for the tenants. The building does indeed have a passenger elevator and the stairwell to the upper floors has a beautiful glass enclosure that reveals the wooden stair case and raw brick wall from the interior. There's space available ranging from 300sf to about 6000sf. It's currently being listed at $2 per square foot with move in specials!

This has been another blog report on Downtown LA commercial real estate, by broker Donegan McCuaig. Thanks for reading!

Are you looking for office space for lease in Little Tokyo? Well, since Little Tokyo is a comparatively small district, there's not so many buildings to choose from. There is one creative office building but the rest are all class-b style office space. That's fine, if you like the traditional sort of office. Of course, you don't have to be a Japanese company to rent office space in Jtown. Though there are many companies related to Japan or Japanese-American commerce in one way or another other non-related companies proudly occupy space there. If you want a list of what's currently available in Little Tokyo Downtown Los Angeles, give us a call at (213) 304-4727 now! A commercial real estate broker is standing by to help you!

And here's another retail space on Main Street! The building is currently fully occupied but owners are looking to replace the tenants with more hip establishments that will bring up the community and spread the flow of positive hipster energy onto Main Street. As a commercial real estate broker in Downtown LA for years it's fascinating to see the growth and change, and that's so normal to say that it's starting to sound cliche. Nevertheless, the building is located on Main Street near 7th Street and is part of the Corporation Building (creative office space) at 724 S Spring St. The building will be getting a facade renovation including removing the metal roll-up doors and installing nice canopies along with new windowed frontage. Spaces are about 700sf, 900sf, and 1200sf and current occupants can leave within 30 days. These spaces are small but can be combined to make on big space as well! It would be great to get a cafe with some decent seating and not $4 coffee, which is so desperately needed in the area.

I don't know what it is about Main Street... it's the sister street to Broadway but it doesn't get nearly as much "bullish hype" than Broadway does. Which is great for our commercial real estate brokerage because we seem to be killing it on Main Street. There's plenty of retail available on Main Street and it differs from Broadway in one big way- it's closer to Skid Row. My response to that is, who cares? Main Street has huge potential and actually doesn't look as worn down as Broadway. In any case, there's a lot of small retail space for rent on Main in the Fashion District. It's a challenge how e-commerce is affecting the Garment District Showrooms because the result is more vacant space. On the flip-side South Park and the Historic Core are burgeoning and retailers are reluctant to tread far from Spring Street. But alas, eventually there will be more and more of those pioneer retailers like Wendell's, the bar that just moved in on Main Street between 6th and 7th, that will pave the way for the covered wagons to follow. Certain entrepreneurs are taking advantage of low rent rates and are confident in their branding and marketing to make people come to them, and DTLA is lucky for that. Anyway this retail space here is available! It's about $1750 monthly rent rate and 950 square feet. Nice flooring, central a/c, and private bathroom. Call (213) 304-4727 for this and more retail space for lease in Downtown Los Angeles!

I can't believe I haven't already written a post about this awesome building in Chinatown on North Spring Street. The building doesn't look like it, but it was built in 1890!! Already rented three spaces here and there's only one left! The remaining space is about 3000 square feet and the owner is only asking $1.20psf ($3600 monthly)! Warehouse style space with cement floors, fresh paint, high exposed ceilings, and tons and tons of natural light! This space has windows on two sides of it and has two entrances/exists, one that takes you to Alameda and one that takes you to Spring Street. Actually, we already did a video of this building which you can check out on our home page to see some before and after media. If you're not familiar with Downtown LA's Chinatown and commercial real estate there, renting space at this building is a great way to become acquainted with them. I always say Chinatown is DTLA's last frontier since I think it's the least gentrified area. It's a lot different than Little Tokyo which is really gentrified and diversified, where when you go to Chinatown, it's like stepping into twenty years back in time. Chinatown seems to be more Chinese than Little Tokyo is Japanese, insofar the diversity of shops and Americanized stores and retailers. That's definitely not a bad thing! And another good thing is, that space here is relatively inexpensive compared to competing areas... and there's nothing to generate a more creative vibe for yourself than somewhere completely random! The art scene in Chinatown is still kindled though it has slowed- but you can go check out Chung King Road and there are some galleries there. With the new huge apartment developments coming into Chinatown (along with a brand new Starbucks) change is in the future for Chinatown, and in any case, it will still be an awesome place to own a business and a great place to lease creative office space in Downtown Los Angeles!

Another reason people think that they will save money not using a commercial real estate broker in Downtown Los Angeles is because they think that they will somehow be more likely to get a better deal: they think that the commission a broker would make will go in their pockets. This is usually not true. Most commercial properties are represented by a broker anyway, let alone that some buildings you have to use a broker to get access. So whatever the total commission is, say 4%, if you go directly through the listing broker, that listing broker is going to get 4% typically. If you bring a broker to represent you, your broker would make 2% and the listing broker would make 2%. In other words, numbers-wise, most of the time it doesn't make a difference if you bring an agent/broker by with you if the property's listed by another broker. The only way it would be possible for you to get all or part of that 4% is to deal directly with the owner or property management company. If you feel confident that you can do better on your own than using an expert, and you just want to throw away the benefits that I mentioned about the seven benefits of using a commercial real estate agent in Downtown LA (in two posts before this one), than go right ahead.

Can't believe how long it's been since a space has come available at the Allied Crafts Building! I posted this online a week ago and I've gotten like ten inquiries about it. Had four showings today! Photos speak for themselves. Really cool building. Awesome lobby with a mural by artist, Miripolski. Crazy colored accent walls. Lots of space for a cheap rate ANNNNNND all utilities and fees are included. Move-in is 3x amount of rent, so for this bad boy $3000 is the move in. Yes, for those of you math geniuses, the monthly rent rate is $1000! It's about 806 gross square feet. Cement floors and exposed ceilings. It's a corner space and what's unique about it is the amount of visibility it gets from drive-by traffic. There's parking lots nearby where you can park for a monthly fee (it's pretty cheap). Walk-score isn't amazing but you didn't want to have your cake and eat it too anyway. Check out the photos below. Our contact info is on the tab above, call before someone else rents it!

The facade on this building is finally done! I need to get photos, and I will. Wanted to do another posting about this building because of all the great space that it has available at such a low price per square foot. Executive suite style office spaces varying in sizes available here at 643 South Olive Street in the Jewelry District on the border of the Historic Core and Bunker Hill. I have one as small as 158sf up to 2195sf. The space shown in the photos are of unit 747 and it's 968sf. This space has it's own sink and it is two large rooms with tons of natural light. The units are now listed at $1.65 per square foot, but I'm certain we could work out something better than that! The CAM fees and utilities are not included but don't let that scare you. The management is also willing to do tenant improvements to customize the space to fit your specific needs. This space however, is pretty much ready to go! The building has 24 hour access along with central heat/ac. The common areas have recently received an upgrade with the entrance to the elevators at every floor renovated along with the bathrooms on every floor as well.

It's not everyday that a vacant space opens up next to a space that is a Downtown LA icon. Well in this case, today is the day. Right next to King Eddy Saloon, a 1000sf retail space has become available and is in the process of renovation. This space use to be a discount store of various nick nacks similar to the ones that are known to exist in the Toy District, which this space borders, close to the edge of the Historic Core. The previous store had a mezzanine which has been taken down to reveal soaring ceilings... I'd estimate they are 14 feet high! Not only that but this space still has the original mosaic tile flooring from what appears to be when the building was originally constructed. The mosaic tile flooring is just one feature that makes this space feel like you've walked into back in time. The second feature that creates this feeling is this strange stair case that opens up to a... well I suppose it's like the world's tiniest stage.... or shelf I should say. The railing for it is what makes it look so old. You can tell that it is an antique stair case. So enough of that! How much is the monthly rent rate?! Only $1800 monthly! It's a rare opportunity to come up on a space like this, with ceilings this high, flooring this cool, and next to a Downtown Los Angeles icon. This is why, as a broker, I love working in commercial real estate in Downtown LA. There's so many unique opportunities that reveal a glimpse into history.

Brand new renovation at the Leland Building! Three retail units and two have been rented all except the middle one! Ground floor retail for rent in an up-and-coming location of Downtown Los Angeles. Would be excellent for a store of any kind. The building is right next to a tattoo shop and across the street from the King Eddy Saloon, the oldest bar in DTLA, and quite the hipster establishment. That should give you a flavor of what this block is doing. Though the property is technically in Skid Row on the border of the Historic Core in Downtown LA, there's reason to be bullish about this location. If you look at the equivalent block on 6th between Main Street and LA Street, just one block away, you'll find a Downtown LA hot-spot. The Santa Fe Lofts and the Pacific Electric lofts take up that block with the bars The Association, The Varnish, Las Perlas, and The Black Sheep. Of course, Cole's Restaurant is there too. If this block can make it pop, so can 5th. And that is the plan. This retail space would be awesome for a bar. Would be great as a bar or restaurant for rent.

Newly Available at Spring Arts Tower Creative Office Space Building There are so many cool things about the Spring Arts Tower. I hesitate to say "cool" because that nomenclature just don't capture what I really mean. It only gets close to it. You have The Last Book Store on the ground floor which is an awe inspiring used book mecca along with an artist collective on the second floor mezzanine. You can take a break from working upstairs and walk around inside and experience a mysterious epistemic energy from all the knowledge floating around. There's places to sit and relax and take in the atmosphere. Secondly, the bar/lounge, The Crocker Club, is located in the basement of the building. The Spring Arts Tower use to be home to the Crocker Bank so what these savvy designers did was keep the vault and created a stylistic night club out of it. You have to see it to know what I'm talking about. Third, the building has Cafe 9 on the 9th floor. This little cafe serves delicious and healthy food and beverages for a very affordable price. They serve breakfast and lunch, and they also deliver. Additionally, they have new items on the menu weekly, so you'll never get tired of what they serve! The creative office space is better than all of the above. Affordable space with exposed ceilings, polished cement flooring, 24 hour access, 24 hour security guard, and outstanding location on gallery row! The building, with all these features, seen above, make this property incomparable. Other buildings with creative office space in Downtown Los Angeles certainly have their work cut out for them. Check out these photos of this space on the 4th floor. It has two private offices and glass dividers. Rent it now before someone else does! 1616 gross square feet! Small office space units are available too! Thanks for reading our commercial real estate blog!

Normally when you hear "Medallion" you think about the apartment building on 4th and Main Street. As many know, there's ground floor retail space on 4th Street, Main Street, and Los Angeles Street; but behind all that are about 200 small commercial spaces! The building was completed circa 2009 and has since then had its residential units fill up quickly. If you're looking to rent/lease ground floor retail in Downtown Los Angeles, it doesn't get any cheaper than this. Some of the units are as low as $700 monthly, for the upstairs units. The building takes up nearly a city block and is located on the border of the Historic Core and Toy District in Downtown. Aside from ground floor, there's several floors available upstairs (or via elevator). This building also has it's own dedicated parking structure so that's a plus compared to a lot of other creative space buildings in Downtown, which are mostly very old and not built in a time where it was common to have dedicated parking space underground or on the roof. The spaces also have central air conditioning, which is awesome! Apparently, commercial tenants get access to the roof-top pool as well, need that confirmed. The spaces run about $2.50psf, more or less. Typically, the bigger the space, the better the price per square foot you get. Come check out these spaces!

Creative Office Space Rent Rates Will Rise in Downtown LA One of the most important things to think about when renting or leasing a commercial space anywhere, not just in Downtown LA, is to have a prediction of what rent rates will do in the future. This prediction should be based on true information taken from a wide base/sample to ensure that the depiction it creates is generally representative of the market overall. This prediction should be used to forecast whether rent rates for the potential space for one's business will go down or up in the future. With this information, one is able to plan and minimize one's business' future over-head cost with the hope and intention to earn overall greater profits in the long run through rent savings. How can someone today do exactly this effectively? When it comes to Downtown LA commercial real estate rates, three things to keep in mind are the growing numbers in the residential population in Downtown, the conversion of industrial buildings with sewing tenants into residential lofts in Downtown, and the growing popularity of creative space. For the Downtown LA commercial rental market, one special piece of information is very influential, and that's what the residential movement is doing. The residential bubble burst in 2006/2007 and the economy was in steep decline. At this time the residential market was rich with bank owned foreclosures and short-sale listings. Commercial building owners were basically killing themselves from stress over their financial losses as they saw their equity plummet. But surprisingly, at the same time, overall demand for residential housing in Downtown Los Angeles was beginning to snowball. And it's still growing. The effect of this growth is that the real estate market overall is benefiting. Growing residential life means a growing business economy. Products and services offered to the residential population are experiencing the benefits. The growing business economy results in stimulating the commercial real estate market in Downtown. With more people living in Downtown comes more people working in Downtown. Also, recently, public perception of the general economy is improving, which is a nice change from the economic pessimism that has been so ubiquitous in the last few years. Downtown has become the "popular" and "new cool place" to be in Los Angeles. With growing popularity comes increased demand, with increased demand for a particular location, property rent rates in that locations go up. The second phenomena occurring that one should consider when predicting future commercial rent rates in Downtown relates to the first. With the increase in residential demand, commercial & industrial buildings are kicking out all their tenants to be converted into residential lofts. For instance, many owners of industrial buildings with sewing tenants have kicked all their sewing tenants out in order to renovate their buildings and convert them into residential lofts. All these kicked-out commercial tenants have been absorbing the previously large vacancy in raw commercial and industrial space. As a result, sewing space rent rates have reached a new high and it's harder than before to get sewing space and industrial space in Downtown in general. This scarcity is creating increased commercial rent rates. And since raw commercial and creative space that sewing tenants use makes some of the best creative office space, these sewing tenants have to compete with the influx of artists, photographers, designers, and other creative types to get into this space. This increased scarcity of creative space creates increased rent rates. A third reason creative office rent rates will rise is that traditional office space is becoming less and less popular with regard to aesthetic look as well as layout & orientation. Traditional office space is perceived as constrained by an antiquated style and a less collaborative platform from which to work. As a result, the perception of value of traditional office space is becoming diminished. The overall rigidity of what the traditional dropped ceilings and commercial carpeting represents to many people is exactly what they do not want: a stigma of constraint and inability to allow for the new and random that out-lies traditional expectation of the past. It's important to note that I may be biased because most of my clients are creative types and not lawyers or accountants. But I have rented creative office space to some lawyers and accountants. A growing trend is a more open, collaborative, and engaging layout. Many tenants are seeking not only a place to work but a social mechanism for improving their business through networking and sharing. The age of the cubicle isn't nor will be extinct, but there are becoming less members of that species as creative and historic buildings are made available to today's tenants. This rise of popularity of creative collaborative space and decline of traditional office space indeed indicates that rent rates of creative office space will continue to increase. So yes, the growth in residential population in Downtown, the fact that raw commercial and industrial buildings are being converted into residential space, and the diminishing popularity of traditional office style and orientation are very crucial elements of predicting what the future holds for creative office and commercial real estate in Downtown Los Angeles. All of this indicates that rent rates will increase, so get into a long term lease now while the moment is right.

DTLA Real Estate does it all. But out of all of it, our favorite is probably creative office. Executive office is great, and we enjoy it as well, but creative office just seems more natural to us. Helping people find creative space in Downtown Los Angeles is our passion. We know that our clients want to be inspired, and are not motivated by all the same things that most class-a office seekers find important. One of the many things that are important for a lot of class-a office building seekers, is to have an impressive and high class vibe to be viewed by their clients as successful and reputable. Being able to afford a really expensive space can be a sign of authenticity, being the real deal, and everyone can appreciate that. Artists, care about presentation as well, but for different mix of reasons and motivations. Freedom, innovation, and character are probably the things that are most important to them. You don't see a lot of artists driving around in Lexus's. I say that not because a lot of artists out there comply with the "starving artist" stereotype of not having enough money to afford executive office rents in Downtown Los Angeles at around $3-$4 per square foot, but because artists want to feel and be unrestrained. To some, driving a Lexus is sign of success and reputability. That may be true, but to some, a Lexus is the result of a corporate engine designed to be what most people will find impressive. Artists want to create and display their own value. Freedom is required for creative energy to flow, and there's just something about being made look expensive that diminishes that. Raw space engenders that unrestrained feeling. Impressiveness is great, but artists would much have a space that allows them to display their impressive work rather than have a space that does it for them. It's easier to do that in raw space. Also, there's something about dropped ceilings, commercial carpeting, and bland hallways that feels imprisoning. It's too corporate. Artists want something unexpected. Something created from an individual's mind and experience that wasn't intended to demonstrate impressiveness for the sake of impressiveness, but to allow them to innovate and demonstrate their work, and to some artists, their work is themselves. If artists want anything from the creation of a space, it is to be set free to create and express themselves. This is not to say Lexus's aren't awesome, it's just to give an analogy. Awesomeness can be the result of many causes. To play with the same analogy, it's interesting to note that historical buildings seem to automatically have a more genuine character to them, especially if they boast the original design. A brand new Lexus is sweet but there's a unique flavor that comes with a classic car. Not only this but creative people also like raw space (creative office style) for unique practical reasons, that class-a office space users do not. In a creative building, typically the ceilings are higher which allows artists to make bigger art pieces. Also, cement flooring, which is really popular, allows one to create things without having to worry about damaging it. What's ironic about all this is that creative office rates are being raised in Downtown Los Angeles while traditional office space rates are being lowered. So creative office is now kind of becoming like a Lexus. But that's okay, reality is ironic. Creative space is suppose to inspire, the occupant is suppose to create. Those creations are what remain eternally genuine, hopefully. You can get creative office space for rent like this in Downtown LA. And what wouldn't be a better place for your work space to be located here in the center of the universe, Downtown Los Angeles. You can do it all with DTLA Real Estate, unless of course, someone else rents it first. And for the record, I wouldn't mind driving a Lexus.

Office Space for Lease/Rent at the US Bank Tower Call it what you will; class-a office, luxury office, executive office, or high-end office; it's all the same. The US Bank Tower, one of the most strikingly recognizable pieces of architecture in Los Angeles, and quite possibly, the world, was recently purchased by a Singaporean company for 367.5 million dollars (according to the LA Times). It was previously owned by MPG Office Trust, a big player in commercial office space in Downtown Los Angeles, which also owns other sky-scrapers located in the Bunker Hill area. The building is seventy-three floors, according to Wikipedia, two of which are underground. The building's construction was completed in 1989, also according to Wikipedia. There are a lot of factors which make the US Bank Tower a unique building to rent/lease office space in. First and foremost, as mentioned before, its' fame and icon-stature juxtaposes a prestige and impressiveness to any company renting space inside it. Secondly, it's cornered geometrical circular shape (see floor plan of US Bank Tower below) set it apart from other Downtown LA office buildings. It's a pro and a con actually, because it affords a special character to the spaces inside but also can make it less practical for positioning office furniture and working stations. Third, to the world, the building is representative of the United States as a fixture of liberty and power, making it to what some would call a "target" for enemies of the United States. Personally, I think the third is a silly thing to worry or even think about. The building is so extremely well secured that someone would be foolish to even think about someone even considering making it a target. It's even ridiculous to talk about. Anyway, next subject. The building has an amazing lobby that features tons of glass that allows it to be flooded with natural light. The lobby has rotating glass doors and a extremely beautiful mural of the historical figure from which Los Angeles originally derived its' name. The space for lease that is available is on the 26th and 28th floors. There is a reception area on each floor with a receptionist, small/medium/large conference rooms, a lunch/break area, a common filing cabinet storage area, and offices on the interior and offices on the exterior which of course, have windows and epic views of Downtown Los Angeles. For this deal, all utilities are included along with janitorial services as well. The building has subterranean parking, for an additional daily or monthly fee, along with lots nearby that offer more affordable parking rates. The building has 24 hour access, along with 24 hour security and video surveillance. If you want to make a statement, the US Bank Tower should be your choice if you're looking to rent class-a office space in Downtown Los Angeles.

Creative Office Space at the Pershing Square Building Ask DTLA brokers the names of four creative office buildings in Downtown LA and on that list will surely be, The Pershing Square Building. The management recently raised the rates from $1.90 per square foot to $2.10. This building, which is usually close to full occupancy, offers a lot of what you come to expect when you see creative office buildings: polished cement flooring, exposed ceilings, cement, beams, and lots of natural light. The raw quality of this type of space is usually what draws the desirability in office tenants. I've had people walk into traditional office buildings in Downtown Los Angeles and they see the blue commercial carpeting, low dropped ceilings, fluorescent lighting with tray and plastic panels, and bland contours of design and they respond, "I hate this." Well, that's kind of good news to me because I specialize in creative office. But as luck would have it, this type of space is being quickly absorbed in Downtown LA. For instance, the Spring Arts Tower is nearly at 100% occupancy. Buildings with the smaller spaces are positioned the best to absorb the demand of tenants. Because tenants seeking space under $1000 monthly rent rate are much more numerous than those seeking space under $2000 monthly. Even more so, tenants looking to pay $500 or less lead the pack. With all this said, the Pershing Square has some striking advantages which have come to be the reason people love it. First and foremost, probably, the restaurant/bar on the roof of the building dazzles spectators that make their first steps onto its floors. With stunning skyline views and a design that seems to reflect the glorious days of the 1920's mixed with a modern quality create an experience that epitomizes Downtown Los Angeles night life. So if you are a happy hour lover, you couldn't be more happy than you would be here at the Pershing Square Building. Though I cannot speak to the drink prices, only the ambiance. What else. This building is unique out of a lot of DTLA creative buildings because the units have central heating and air conditioning. The tenants enjoy 24 hour access to the space. There is a security guard in the lobby 24/7 and they have video surveillance in the common areas. On the up-side, the management is willing to improve the space to meet your needs by designing and building innovative-looking partitions along with other things you might want to do to make the space meet your needs. On the down-side, to do this, they require a two year lease if you want them to pay for improvements. To me, this isn't even a down-side, because tenants should be committed to their business' success and that they will push on despite whatever circumstances their business encounters through its operations in the long or short term. Also, I think rent rates will go up in the future so it wouldn't be a bad thing to secure the rate they have now for the long term. Last but not least, the ground floor has a prime space for lease. This location, being on the border of Bunker Hill and the Historic Core, is a sweet spot for retail commerce. I believe you could actually rent/lease the retail space for a restaurant of bar, provided you are able to get the necessary permits and negotiate a build out. Tenants on the ground floor right now include Subway, and I can't remember the others at the moment. One other thing I need to mention is that the office spaces upstairs share a common bathroom on each floor. And tenants have full access to a game room they have on the third floor. The spaces also have all utilities included in the rent rate. The building does not have on-site parking but there's lots where you can park for a daily or monthly fee very close by.

Spring Arcade Building Retail for Lease The Spring Arcade Building is one of the historic gems of Downtown LA. This building takes up the space between the two streets, Broadway and Spring Street. This building has apartments upstairs, retail on the ground floor, and along the inside there is an open-air mall with huge walkway running from Broadway to Spring Street. Historically this building, Broadway, and Spring street have been home to bargain retailers and whole-sellers offering cheap deals on every day products. Back in the day, Broadway was like the 99 Cent Store of Los Angeles. Well, that is no more. Due, most likely, to the residential explosion in Downtown LA in the last ten years this area has become home to one of the most popular, if not the most popular, place(s) for young professionals in Downtown Los Angeles. There are three SB lofts buildings on the intersection of which the Spring Arcade Building lies, 6th Street and Spring Street. Not only that but just last year a Starbucks opened up and replaced an electronics bargain retailer in the ground floor corner space of Hotel Hayward, also on Spring Street and 6th Street. Before that other retailers have been popping up like crazy in this area. The cafe and bar scene are quite possibly the most noticeable momentous real estate entities. Spring for Coffee is across the intersection from Starbucks. Coffee Bar, a high end coffee boutique, recently shut down not long after Starbucks arrived across the street; and is now in the works to be changing over to a restaurant and bar. Right next store to what was once Coffee Bar is Spring Street Bar and The Falls Bar, two local-laden watering holes in this epicenter of gentrification. Not only retail but creative office buildings in the area like Spring Arts Tower, located on 6th and Spring Street, have recently achieved 100% occupancy. Additionally, a new creative office building called the Corporation Building (formally known as Spring Tower?) recently completed renovation on a couple floors and is in the process of filling up as you read this article. With the surge of residential and retail in the area it's curious to point out the high number of vacancies in the open-air space of the Spring Arcade Building. Though, the four corner anchor tenants, two on Broadway and two on Spring Street are leading the way by becoming home to a Famima (they moved in a while ago) and new to arrive will be a Mexican Restaurant and a new cafe (both on Spring Street). A Crepe Store will soon open inside the open-air walkway mall but again, there is A LOT of other vacant retail spaces currently available. On top of that all the units will have new HVAC units and the common central walk-way was re-floored last year with very large beautiful tile. These spaces are either approx 500SF or 850SF and they go for $2.50 per gross square foot. So respectively that makes them $1250 monthly or $2125 monthly. Minimal five year leases. Also, some of these units are contiguous so if you're looking for a bigger space you can rent two or three side-by-side each other. You should cash in on this now while you still can because this space will not get any cheaper and the area is continuing to improve! From my humble opinion, one of the reasons that there is a large vacancy for the retailer is that locals aren't really educated to walk through open-air walkway leading from Broadway to Spring and Spring to Broadway. Ridiculous amounts of people walk by the entrances, but few people walk through from one side to the other. Of course, with more retailers they'll have a better reason to do so, but for lack of a better metaphor, you need to first lead a horse to water if you want to get the chance to try to get it to drink. Also, the building hosts two, to what I estimate to be, a 60 foot by 20 foot banner advertising the apartments upstairs (on both Spring Street and Broadway) but the signs say nothing about the ground floor retail available downstairs. Last I heard the loft apartments upstairs are 100% occupied. Seems like some replacing the "lofts available" signage with "retail available" signage would definitely do this building good... if only Mr. Helen, the owner, would let it be DTLA Real Estate's Leasing Sign ;) Whatever the case, the higher number of vacancies is a huge reason for you to capitalize on the current rent rates and open the store you've always dreamed about. I am here to help you fulfill that dream.

If you're looking for a nice office space in Downtown Los Angeles, but don't want to pay Bunker Hill rates, this is an outstanding alternative. This building is basically located on the border of Bunker Hill and the Historic Core, and it is arguably a better location... if you like the Historic Core better, like I do! This building is also part of the Jewelry District so if you're business is related to jewelry you might as well stop what you're doing and rent here now. Ten story building located on the corner of 7th and Olive, which is by many outstanding well-known DTLA hot spots such as Bottega Louis and Seven Grand Whiskey Bar. This building of course has on-site management, maintenance, and 24 hour security guard along with 24 hour video surveillance in the common areas. This building is in the process of experiencing tons of upgrades, including a ground floor exterior face-lift. The lobby will also be completely remodeled along with the elevator interiors. In addition to that, all the floors' elevator entrance ways have been remodeled and upgraded with really nice tile. The bathrooms on every floor have also been totally remodeled. There's a variety of spaces available for lease at the moment starting from 158sf-2165sf, $400-$3300 monthly rent rates, respectively. A picture is worth a thousand words so you can see from the photos what to expect from this great Jewelry District Building. Another interesting component of this building is the 10th floor, penthouse, photography studio which is just amazing! I have never seen a studio nearly as brilliant and impressive than this one! You can see from the photos what I mean. The design is just spectacular, for lack of a better word, and has huge sky-lights! Last but not least, I forgot to mention that all the units in this building are air conditioned and come with all utilities included!! Of course, with all our spaces, it is a minimal one year lease.

This space's location is one of the most popular for young people in their 20's and 30's in all of Downtown LA. Could be used as RETAIL for any kind of store or company, provided you get the proper licenses and permits. Could be used as CREATIVE OFFICE too. FOUR STORY BUILDING. Ground floor space available, which is the left half of the GROUND FLOOR. HIGH CEILINGS... I'd estimate 18 feet. PARKING LOT NEXT DOOR where you can pay monthly membership. Space is pretty RAW right now and hasn't changed since the last tenant moved out. Per negotiation, LANDLORD MAY BE WILLING TO DO TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Previous tenant was a loan and check-cashing place. It currently has at the entrance a room behind bullet proof glass. Would be ideal for any company wanting a good location for walk-by retail because it's very close to lots of residential lofts. The area is a prime location in DTLA. There is also a large mezzanine space which can be used for offices or storage. Space would be a great location for a restaurant or bar. Space has 24 HOUR ACCESS. The space has private men and women's separate restrooms. 3500SF includes MEZZANINE SPACE!! Minimal one year lease. Fill out the form to the left or call/text (213) 304-4727 for touring information!
