Commercial Real Estate for Lease

What small business in Los Angeles doesn't need some creative space? Fortunately, one of the most popular buildings in DTLA, the Spring Arts Tower, has people covered. Located in DTLA's Old Bank District, it is noteworthy to mention that the price per square footage here, won't break your bank! One of the most distinguishing features of the building is that its ground floor is home to the Last Bookstore, one of the top privately held bookstores in the world and a must-see second floor mezzanine art gallery. If you are a tenant here, all you have to do is say "I'm in the same building as the Last Bookstore" and everyone will know what you're talking about and where you're at! Not only that, this building also features the Crocker Club, an old bank vault converted into a bar & event space, along with Spring St Cafe on the 9th floor, a charming and polished cafe experience with coffee, pastries, sandwiches and more. In addition to all this, and the main point of this post, is that the Spring Arts Tower is likely your best bang for your buck when it comes to renting creative space in DTLA. Call it what you want, creative office space, whatever, these units feature polished cement floors, exposed ceilings (no dropped officey looking spaces here!), and large windows flooding every space with natural light. With units facing 5th St, Spring St, the interior courtyard, and the alley/building next door; the building offers a variety of views to choose from, each with its own advantage. For instance, the courtyard units are the most quiet, 5th St gets the best light, and Spring St gets lower noise and relatively good & neutral for most of the day as it faces the South. Home to artists, photographers, lawyers, a hair salon, a tattoo studio, non-profit organizations, tech companies, you name it and that type of tenant is probably here. These small private creative spaces come available monthly, and a bunch lease monthly. Take advantage of all the building has to offer, including the most competitive rates from Los Angeles creative office space in the entire city! It is definitely advantage to have your own private office space in these times, where many people who have been working from home since the pandemic, are starting to go crazy from rarely leaving their home! There's nothing like having a separate space to put you in work mode, apart from home mode! So if you're looking for Los Angeles creative space, the Spring Arts Tower has to be on your list of possibilities, because of the many advantages stated here! Did I forget to mention there's 24/7 access and 24/7 security? And that all electricity, water, and trash are included (provided no inordinate use)? Yep, that's right. So come visit what was once dubbed the Crocker Bank Building in the Historic Core of DTLA, in the part of the neighborhood known as the Old Bank District!

Really excited about this new restaurant lease listing in Chinatown. I've been trying to get this listing for 2-3 years now for the office space upstairs! All of the sudden I get a text out of the blue that pretty much says "Hey we'd like to you to lease the building for us now." Wow... after all that time! Needless to say I'm grateful. So apparently the restaurant tenant recently retired and left this awesome gem, well a diamond in the rough you might say since it needs a remodel. Fortunately, this space has existing restaurant permits (which is huge for Downtown LA! It's in such high demand, space like this for restaurants with permits. Otherwise, if you were to start from scratch, you'd be looking at at least $200k and 9 months time for building out vent, hood, and getting all the inspections, and so on and so forth. There's more photos on our home page but basically this space is very reasonably listed at $5500 monthly and it's approx 1700sf. There's up to 10 parking spaces available. Give us a call for details and touring information. It's appointment only. Also, we still offer commercial property management in Los Angeles!

I can't believe I haven't posted about this building yet! Sorry guys, it's been about a month or two since before my last previous post. But here I am back in action to update you about what's happening with commercial real estate in Downtown LA! So! This building actually changed hands recently. About two months ago, escrow closed and this building is officially under new management and ownership! While dtlarealestate.com was not part of this transaction, it was on our radar as an excellent creative commercial real estate building for sale in DTLA and we're grateful to be a part of the leasing! By the way, this building has cool industrial warehouse space for lease at only $1psf!! Located at 155 West Washington Boulevard, this building is known by most as the West Washington Building. So the lobby, hallways, and common area restrooms were renovated about two years ago or something like that. But as you can see from the photos, there is something lacking in the lobby. A fresh and inspirational creative vibe is needed because, for God's sake, this is a creative office building! I always like to add art to buildings, and it's been fantastically successful at other buildings, most notably the Allied Crafts Building. So the hunt for an artist is on. And despite lengthy procrastination on someone's part, cough, me, cough, it's moving forward. I've received around 15 submissions so far of different artists wanting to bring this lobby to life! There's still time however! Just email donegan@dtlarealestate.com And of course, if you or someone you know is looking for commercial real property for rent in DTLA give us a call! Contact the broker directly at (213) 304-4727! I'll be sure to update you when the new art work on the lobby progresses and any new info on our commercial real estate agency here in the glorious center of the universe, Downtown Los Angeles!
