    Spring Arts Tower DTLA Creative Space for Rent in Los Angeles

    For Sale /M SF /SF
    Lease Type :

    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!

    Lease Type :

    Like many creative office buildings in Downtown LA, this building was once used for sewing manufacturing. Being an industrial style building it is no wonder it was once industrial. Well, in 2012 a developer purchased the building and converted into creative office space. I've leased to around thirteen sets of tenants in this building, and it's no wonder why. It sells itself. It's located in the best location of Downtown LA, well, a block from it, on Spring Street between 7th and 8th. 6th/Spring I consider the best location. This is where DTLA Artwalk occurs on Spring between 4th and 8th Streets. Anyway, the spaces are wonderful. Polished cement flooring, some have large white polished tile. Every unit has central HVAC with its own private thermostat. The building has 24/7 access and there's a security guard onsite Monday through Friday. The units are reasonably priced per square foot. There's currently three available! Visit the main page to check them out. As always, thanks for visiting and making us your first resource for creative office space Los Angeles.

    [caption id="attachment_693" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Retail space for lease now now now![/caption]The Perfect Retail Spaces with Grit The Historic Core will be welcoming a new ground floor tenant to operate out of this famous landmark, The Baltimore Hotel and the King Edward Hotel.  But who will it be? These properties recently sold in Downtown LA and are under management by a new company.  They are located on the corner of Los Angeles St. and 5th St., this commercial space for lease borders both the Toy District and the Historic Core. Both districts are known for their high-density foot traffic, making it perfect for the right type of tenant!  Preferably a tenant who prefers a dash of grit! Across the street, attached to the historic King Edward Hotel, a restaurant space is also for lease, 119 E 5th St. Both Downtown Los Angeles commercial spaces offer an excellent opportunity to get a great deal on a great location by being on a quickly evolving transitioning block. Recognizing that opening up a normal retail establishment on a street that is in the beginning stages of gentrification isn't easy; it’s good to pay attention to the positive changes happening on the block. For example, on the same block as these two commercial listings, Auntie Em’s Kitchenette is quickly becoming a favorite among locals. Started by two successful entrepreneurs, downtown pioneer and owner of Two Bits Market, Brandi Lozano, who partnered with the owner of Eagle Rock’s destination café’ and bakery, Auntie Em’s Kitchen, Terri Wahl. Rumor has it, that the King Eddy Salon has recently been purchased by LA Nightlifer, Jeremy Fall, who is restoring it to its 80’s glory days; a watering hole for DTLA Legend, Charles Bukowski. I would bet on this city block. Both Downtown LA commercial spaces at the King Edward Hotel and the Baltimore Hotel offer many of the great features Los Angeles tenants expect when leasing in the Historic Core; soaring ceilings, great visibility, window frontage, and these spaces also have private bathrooms! If you are looking to lease a downtown LA retail space, this could be the great deal you are looking for.

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!

    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!

    Lease Type :

    The South Park District is an exciting area to be involved in, in Downtown Los Angeles, because like other areas it is an area bubbling with change and growth. I recently have been attending the South Park BID (business improvement district) meetings to get more involved in the community, activities, and improvements occurring in the neighborhood. South Park is an interesting beast because it has such contrasting street types. For instance, on Grand Avenue with Evo, Luma, and condo buildings are there and other active streets such as Figueroa, Flower Street, and Hope Street the retail has lots of residential foot traffic and members of the greater Downtown LA community visiting amenities there. The retail is already there and existing. The thing is that there are more streets than just these popular ones, and like everywhere else in Downtown right now, there's a good amount of retail space available for lease in non-A+ locations. The challenge for tenants that the owners of these currently sub-par locations want high rates because they have been able to command those rates via their commercial and industrial tenants that have been historically prevalent. But tenants who are more retail oriented do not want to be the first to jump in the proverbial cold water. Many potential tenants will say, regarding commercial property for rent in South Park's Downtown Los Angeles, that in three years or so, they'd love to rent space there. The problem is finding those first pioneers on these otherwise non-retail ground floor commercial buildings. Also, a lot of the upstairs office space for lease is under-utilized as well. However, there is hope. With the efforts of commercial real estate brokers like me, the state and local governments, and the South Park District BID; we are sure to see the slow rise of the new age of retail and commercial space in Downtown Los Angeles' South Park which will eventually increase in a snowball like effect.

  • The Difference Between Warehouse & Creative Office Space in Downtown LA

    The Difference Between Warehouse & Creative Office Space in Downtown LA

    For Sale /M SF /SF
    Lease Type :

    Being a commercial real estate broker in Downtown Los Angeles over the years has given me a perspective of creative office space versus warehouse space. I started in Downtown LA in the Fashion District renting warehouse space to artists. I'm not going to embark on a philosophical discussion regarding semantics but the terms "warehouse space" and "creative office space" are thrown around so loosely, but they often intersect. Generally speaking here's what both types of space share: - both "creative" types of space - both sought by artists and creative companies - both have exposed ceilings (not dropped ceilings) - both often have cement or wood flooring - both desired with natural light - both types enable artists to create art within them - both older/historic buildings, typically - both designed and built for a different set of renters than we have now Generally speaking here's what separates creative office from warehouse space, from my experience: - more expensive price per square foot - more polished - nicer bathrooms - cleaner - newer looking - located in a part of DTLA with a high walk-score - more customer service oriented management - building tenants are all office or non-manufacturing use - include modern amenities (central HVAC, conference room, bar, cafe, roof lounge, et cetera) - more expensive parking, generally less convenient parking - more likely to have 24 hour access - more "professional" - worse loading and unloading - less likely to have freight elevator, let alone one that works - freight elevators smaller - more likely to have lower ceilings Generally speaking, here's what separates warehouse space from creative office space: - less expensive price per square foot - better loading and unloading - grittier, a lot grittier - less maintained - dirtier and dustier - dirtier often gross bathrooms - more likely to have freight elevators - freight elevators bigger - located in a part of DTLA with low walk-score - generally better and cheaper parking - building manager less customer service oriented - do not have modern amenities like A/C, etc - less likely to have 24 hour access - building tenants are mixed with manufacturing companies and office use - less "professional" - more likely to have higher ceilings And that pretty much sums it up!

  • 1320 S. Main St. – Newly Sub-divided & Upgraded

    1320 S. Main St. – Newly Sub-divided & Upgraded

    For Sale /M SF /SF
    Lease Type :

    I did a post about 1320 South Main Street before. The building had burned down and was owned by the bank before the current owner purchased it. What happened was, when the insurance company rebuilt the space, they just made the second and third floor huge 6300SF spaces. There were no flooring, and no walls subdividing the space. The third floor came first. Due to the current market conditions renting a 6300SF space at a premium is hard to do. It's much easier to rent smaller spaces. In fact, the smaller they are the more quickly they get rented, in Downtown LA least. So the third floor is this epic space with bowed wood truss ceiling and raw brick walls. It made peoples' mouths drop when they came in. It's amazing how I still get calls for this space, but I finally took the photos down off our web-site even though the spaces were no longer listed on Craig's List. So anyway. The third floor subdivided in a flash and rented quickly. Onto the second floor. The second floor was one huge weird blue commercial carpeted class-b office space. It's hard to imagine someone needing that much open space. Alas, the sub-division was made into two 3150 gross square foot spaces. Low and behold, the flooring was also changed into a beautiful faux wood aesthetic work. Kitchenettes were added in each one. Video surveillance in the common areas was installed. Central air conditioning and heating was installed. Private bathrooms in each unit were created. The space now looks more like a creative office space than it does anything else, and that's a good thing. The ceilings are around 10 feet high, and they don't have the dropped ceilings that you typically see with class-b office space in Downtown Los Angeles. You're not going to find cleaner space with all these practical features at a better price per square foot than this in Downtown's Fashion/Garment District. You can see from the photos for yourself that this is an awesome space. I think I have the front half rented already to an artist.

  • Creative Office Space at the Pershing Square Building

    Creative Office Space at the Pershing Square Building

    For Sale /M SF /SF
    Lease Type :

    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.

    Lease Type :

    This is truly a unique building! I call it the DTLA Mall. But it's not really a mall it's just laid out like a mall. Located in Downtown LA's garment district, this building was originally built to be show-rooms for the fabric wholesale and retail industries. Most of the tenants are actually still fabric whole-sellers who use second, third, and fourth floor show-rooms as office space. Since I've been working with the building for over a year now, we have filled this building with a unique collection of tenants. Most of them are in the Fashion Industry and use this space for fashion purposes. 305 E. 9th is located in the fabric area of the Fashion District, where available ground floor retail space is scarce at this time. As such, the ground floor of this building has been 100% occupied the entire time I've known about it. In my mind, the best part about the building is that it's real estate location is in what I believe to be the best part of the Fashion District. The building is actually laid out like a mall and though it's only four stories the second and fourth floors are open space in the middle of the building. Check out the photos, and you'll see what I mean. Another cool part about this building is that the fourth floor ceiling has a mural painted on it to look like the night sky with planets and celestial things. The second floor roof is a mural of clouds, along with additional art in the central area. Building is open every day from 8am to 8pm. There is on-site security guard, maintenance, and manager. There's also 24 hour video surveillance in the common areas. What also separates this building from other spaces used as creative office in the area is that all the units are AIR CONDITIONED. Last but not least, all your utilities are included in the rent rate. If you're looking for creative office in Downtown LA's Fashion District to rent or lease, 305 E. 9th should definitely be on your list of places to see. I left out the best part, the rent rate is pretty cheap and goes for around $1 a square foot, which also includes portion of the common area. This rent rate is pretty crazy when there's other creative office buildings in Downtown LA that aren't far from this building that charge $1.85 per square foot.
