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!

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.

[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.

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.

This unit faces north and the building is located just a hair south of the 10 freeway. So as you can imagine, and can see here, it's quite a good place to view DTLA's skyline! And what better time would be better to see it other than while you are working! And hopefully, what you're producing is creative work. And that relates what you are probably here for, does it not? That's right! So not so long story short, this space is 1627sf and the previous tenant was a recording studio. They spent a small fortune designing this space and adding after-market lighting. The huge windows let inn a glorious amount of natural light. At the moment, this space is still available! For details and for commercial real estate for sale in Downtown LA call the number above!

It's approx 3500 gross square feet and again is going for only $1psf! The building is like new since a few years it burnt down, but they kept the original structure, and totally rebuilt it! The space has a private bathroom, central HVAC, kitchenette, and 24 hour access! The building has 24hr video surveillance in the common areas.

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!

Check out this new office space for lease in Downtown LA's South Park District, right on the border of the Fashion District on the corner of Hill Street and Pico Boulevard. 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. This area is at the intersection of development and like most of Downtown is slowly, or quickly depending on relativity ;p, changing with improvements. The space has a large reception area, an office space which could easily be a conference room, another small office, and a big open area that the previous tenant used for warehouse space. 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! Thanks for reading and if you know someone looking for space have them give us a call!

Had an awesome opportunity to tour One Santa Fe today with the listing agent for their retail! This 400+ apartment building isn't even built yet and it seems like most of the retail spaces are already rented, or have offers! They are asking $3 per square foot. This building will transform the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles by adding hundreds of residents to the community and creating. For tenant representation for this property contact us at the phone number above! Not only that, there's another area of vacant land next to the project on 3rd Street with plans to be developed! Stay tuned for the next update. Give us a call if you're looking for commercial real estate in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles!

Well it's been a year since I've posted about this building, and lucky for you the existing tenant is moving out of the front side, third floor space! The space is around 3500 gross square feet, and perhaps you remember the epic photos I took of it before it was sub-divided. Huge bowed wood truss ceiling with insulation and raw wood, along with raw brick wall, and high-end faux wood flooring. The space has a private bathroom with shower and there is also a kitchenette, and wait for it, there's also central heat/ac along with your own private thermostat. The space is located on Main Street near Pico Boulevard in Downtown LA's Fashion District. This is an ideal space for any sort of Fashion Company looking to have a high-end creative presentation to their business. Space like this doesn't come along frequently so here's your chance to seize an opportunity if you're looking for creative commercial real estate in Downtown Los Angeles. The building also has 24 hour access and security cameras in the common areas. The front door has been replaced with a luxurious looking metal and glass design, and comes with an intercom where you can buzz guests in. If you recall, this building actually burnt down a few years ago, and they completely rebuilt it but kept the exterior walls! So, you'll basically be the second tenant to occupy the space since it was built! For more questions and touring info give us a call here at DTLA Real Estate, our commercial real estate broker is standing by. Thanks for reading our blog!

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! For more info and touring information see the link-tabs above or just call the phone number on the headline of this page! 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!

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. If you want help finding commercial space in DTLA's South Park, give us a call! (213) 304-4727

Are you looking for medical office space for rent in Downtown LA? We are happy to assist you with finding a doctor's office for lease, psychiatric office, chiropractic, and any business related to the medical field that would be appropriately related to any hospital activity. Also, dentist's office or dental offices is something we could potentially help you with as well. Visit our contact page above or just call (213) 304-4727 now. If we do not answer leave a message with your monthly rental budget, what kind of medical business you have, if you have a particular medical office building you'd like more information on, and when you are looking to move.

There are, of course, many commercial real estate companies in Los Angeles. Here are some of the most prevalent ones here in Downtown LA that we tend to see around the most: CBRE (mostly for sales deals and lease activity in new Downtown), Lee & Associates (mostly Arts District), Avison Young (retail), Daum Commercial (Fashion District), Quantum (Fashion District), Major Properties (Fashion District), and those are the ones off the top of my head. I didn't mention any of the ones that specialize in tenant representation, mostly for class-a office, because we don't come across them too often, and most of our clients seem to have a lot of interest in class-a office space anyway. When it comes to creative office space for lease in Downtown, we are number one! The commercial real estate brokerages we mentioned are also excellent as well in what they do.

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!

Why here? Why now? Those are good questions. The answer is, the deal is good now and it will get worse the longer you wait. Everyone is bullish about Downtown LA's economy, aren't you as well? What does that mean for rent rates and property values? Exactly. I don't need to answer that because you know. As a broker of commercial real estate in Downtown LA I've had a lot of experience. I started when the market was probably at it's worse in 2009, an opportune time to be buying up REO's, foreclosures, and short-sales. Alas, we all wish we would have acted then because we all have seen the prices sky-rocket since then, but at the very least we can act now. Do you have a retail business? Perhaps you need an office space that is not only functional, but says something about you as a business. If you found a good space for either of those, do you think it would be good to wait longer? Perhaps see if the market gets better? Perhaps, you want a short term lease so your rent can be raised to unknown heights at its expiration, exactly not! Give DTLA Real Estate a call. Let's talk. What are your goals for the future and how can we execute a real estate strategy to get you to achieve your desired business results. That's something I love to talk about.

There's a lot of buildings out there that people call "creative office" buildings. But they are so in name only... actually sometimes, for these buildings, "creative office" is simply a euphemism. That should not be so! A lot of times it's a shoddy random building that is only creative insofar as it wasn't built to be office spaces originally. And sometimes that counts, but not always. Worse case scenario, it's an old traditional office style building with dropped ceilings and commercial carpeting than hasn't seen an upgrade in years. In that case it's class-c office space, and "c" does not mean creative! It means grade-C. And C's don't get degrees when it comes to creative space. So what is the authentic real deal? Well that's different for each person, but here are some things to think about before making your decision. (1) Who are the other tenants in the building? Are they good for your creativity and productivity? I've been renting warehouse space for a long time now. Sometimes, artists I've leased space to don't even want to be near other artists. Which sounds strange but I kid you not. The more random the space the better for some people. Do other creative people inspire you, or do they distract and disengage you from your individuality and productivity? (2) What is authentic and unique about the building and not manufactured and made for the masses? What is the integrity of the building's design like? It's kind of impossible to avoid this entirely, but does the building or space have any unique fixtures? This can affect how your clients view you when they come to your space. (3) Does the layout of the building and space fit your purposes? (4) What is the walk score of the building and how do the nearby walkable amenities affect you? Do you need to be walking near cafes and bars? Perhaps you do, and perhaps you need the social aspect, not just coffee and alcohol. Or are you fine with renting a space near the 10fwy in the Fashion District? It can be nice to get out of your building and work somewhere else to walk and get some exercise and to change things up for a bit to make you feel better. (5) How dynamic is the building? What changes and invigorates? Does the building have the same thing day in and day out? Does the monotony of the building make you want to end your life? Just kidding. How does the building keep your life new and interesting? (6) How does the building affect your networking goals? Are there any common areas? How does the building cause you to engage with other tenants? So that's all I got for now. Give us a call if you're interested in properties and buildings in Downtown Los Angeles. We can help you make a good investment for your business for what suits your energy and style... that is, if it currently exists in the market at the time and they work with brokers! As always you can call (213) 304-4727 to get additional information about commercial real estate in Downtown that's for rent/lease or for buying/selling. May the chi flow in harmony with you.

Broadway Arts Tower Creative Office Building before Renovation The same person who brought you Spring Arts Tower will be bringing you this Broadway building... which will likely be called Broadway Arts Tower. After months and months and MONTHS and months of work this building is slowly coming along. It will be getting a complete face-lift, so it will be dramatically improved from what you see here. Also, the inside has been demoed and is in the process of an incredible and ambitious renovation. It's impossible to describe in words how bad the inside of this building was before it was purchased. It looked as if God himself had forgotten about it and hell had reigned for what seems to have been a good portion of an eternity. Luckily, there has been and is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light my friends, is amazing. This building has a 40 foot back lobby entrance that will be breath taking to people who first see it. It will feature a beautiful custom chandelier along with custom wood work. The entire inside of this space has been brought down to the raw wood and every original feature has been painstakingly undertook to keep its original integrity. There is raw wood in this building, more raw wood, more raw wood, and MORE RAW WOOD. Spaces are accented by raw brick and will feature lots of glass enclosures to keep the open feel.

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!

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.
