The Arts District Historically, the Arts District was populated by various industrial users manufacturers and distributors, who warehoused goods ranging from frozen fish to toys. Over time, the multi-story industrial buildings deemed antiquated and functionally obsolete naturally transitioned to lofts and studios as artists and craftsmen began occupying the spaces. About a decade ago, developers came into this exclusive pocket of Downtown LA and gave a boost to this trend. They started converting former warehouses into homes on a larger scale - Barker Lofts, Biscuit Lofts, Toy Factory Lofts, etc. As residents started to sprout, the retailers followed. In recent years, adaptive re-use projects and new developments saturated the Arts District to a point where the City of Los Angeles attempted to rewrite the zoning ordinance for the first time in many decades. The demand to own property in the Arts District seemed insatiable at the peak of this transformation. Today, the real estate players in Arts District have shifted from private/local investors to developers with institutional funding, some of whom are international. The occupants have changed from garment manufacturers, produce distributors, and wholesalers to brand name retailers, James Beard Award-winning chefs, and Warner Brothers. The future of the Arts District is headed towards a total metamorphosis as major developments are in the pipeline in addition to those that are already in progress. Although the landscape of the Arts District is bound to change dramatically, the intent of the developers and the local community is to keep the integrity, character, culture and aesthetics intact for the most unique district of Los Angeles.
THE GAREY The $60 million project from Lowe Enterprises created 320 apartments between two 5-story buildings. The buildings are separated by a pedestrian paseo that s open to the public and lined with 15,800 SF of ground floor retail and restaurant space. The project includes a pool and rooftop deck, as well as 558 parking stalls. 929 EAST 2 ND STREET Est4te Four Capital s proposed redevelopment of the Challenge Cream & Butter building includes adding 5 more floors atop the existing 2-story warehouse. The interior of the warehouse would be repurposed with a mixture of shops and eateries, with parking in the basement. The upper five floors would include more retail, a gym, parking, offices, photo studios, event space, and a private lounge. HAUSER & WIRTH The Arts District mega-gallery is the sixth location for the Switzerland-based gallery owners, who partnered with former MOCA Chief Curator, Paul Schimmel. The project transformed a low-slung, 7-building compound that began as a grain mill in the late 19th century. The gallery is also home to Manuela, a 5,000 SF Southern-influenced restaurant. REGIONAL CONNECTOR The Little Tokyo/Arts District Station will be moved underground and across the street to the southeast corner of 1st St and Central Ave as part of the Regional Connector Transit Project.

Regional Connector The Metro Regional Connector Project extends from the Metro Gold Line Little Tokyo/Arts District Station to the 7th Street/Metro Center Station in downtown Los Angeles, allowing passengers to transfer to Blue, Expo, Red and Purple Lines, bypassing Union Station. The 1.9-mile alignment will serve Little Tokyo, the Arts District, Civic Center, The Historic Core, Broadway, Grand Av, Bunker Hill, Flower St and the Financial District. LITTLE TOKYO/ARTS DISTRICT STATION 1ST STREET & CENTRAL AVENUE This new Metro Rail extension will also provide a one-seat ride for travel across Los Angeles County. From the Metro Gold Line, passengers will be able to travel from Azusa to Long Beach and from East Los Angeles to Santa Monica without transferring lines. The Regional Connector will improve access to both local and regional destinations by providing continuous thru service between these lines and providing connectors to other rail lines via the 7th St/Metro Center Station. The extension offers an alternative transportation option to congested roadways and provide significant environmental benefits, economic development, and employment opportunities throughout Los Angeles County. The Little Tokyo/Arts District Station, currently an at-grade Gold Line station located at the intersection of 1st and Alameda streets, will be moved underground and across the street to the southeast corner of 1st St and Central Ave as part of the Regional Connector Transit Project. The station, bordering the two neighborhoods of Little Tokyo and the Arts District, will make these historically rich and vibrant neighborhoods easily accessible.
