4 Q MARKET REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Downtown LA continued on its dynamic growth trajectory in Q3, despite a relatively slow quarter for the greater LA area. Leading the way was residential with another 1,380 rental units coming to market. RESIDENTIAL With 5 new projects opening in Q3 alone, 2017 has already set a new record with over 2,700 new units delivered this year. Nevertheless, demand kept pace, with rents and occupancy rates holding steady from quarter to quarter. OFFICE In the Financial District, the Wilshire Grand Center added Metrolink to its roster of tenants, bringing the property to 40% leased. Meanwhile, the creative migration to Downtown continued with Adidas announcing a new marketing headquarters, tech firm Gimbal relocating from Santa Monica, both to ROW DTLA, Bullitt Studios moving from West Hollywood to City Market South in the Fashion District, and architecture firm Jerde leaving Venice for the historic CalEdison on Bunker Hill. RETAIL The quarter was also highlighted by the opening of two flagship fashion boutiques: Nordstrom Rack at FigAt7th, and COS in the historic Olympic Theater off Broadway.
