As LA begins a return to "normalcy," DTLA is beginning to reinvent itself again. I'm calling this DTLA 2.0.
Quietly working away during a pandemic, the newly kitted out Apple Store in the old Tower Theatre is finally a reality. Years of restoration and planning have resulted in one of the most interesting Apple Flagship stores in the world! https://www.ladowntowner.com/articles/2021/6/24/revive-amp-revue-the-apple-tower-theater
Other happenings in the neighborhood:
1. Metro Connector near the Higgins and Douglas buildings are making progress for public transportation
2. Proper Hotel to debut its DTLA location within the next 2 weeks (We already have one in Santa Monica https://www.properhotel.com/santa-monica/ )
3. The State Historic Park is hosting a slew of summer events, including concerts
4. The Broad museum opened back up and already booked weeks ahead
5. Restaurants are going crazy, look at all the outdoor dining going on!
6. WeWork offices all over the neighborhood are picking back up as people who work from home are needing a new atmosphere from time to time--it's not always easy to work in a loft when you've got cats and dogs walking in front of monitors and Fedex knocking on your door every 2 hours!
7. Buildings are wrapping up remodels
8. Filming is back in full force as every other street becomes a film or commercial set
9. Farmers Markets are back on
10. Investment activity is picking up as good ROI units are selling
11. USC, FIDM, SciArc, Loyola are all back in session in the Fall!
