DTLA Housing Surge Spreads, 2,300 New Resi Deliveries Q1

Downtown Los Angeles’ newest residential communities are spread throughout the burgeoning metropolis, delivering nearly 2,300 new apartments and condos in five separate districts in the first quarter alone, according to the Downtown Center Business Improvement District’s (DCBID) Q1 2019 Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) Market Report. DTLA also celebrated the first quarter groundbreaking of The Grand, The Related Companies’ $1-billion mixed-use complex on Bunker Hill.
Demand remains strong, as evidenced by Onni Group’s newly-opened 53-story 825 South Hill apartment tower in the Jewelry District, which already has leased more than 50% of its 516 apartments.
DCBID’s Suzanne Holley says, “DTLA’s housing growth is now pushing out beyond the central districts, to neighboring areas such as the Fashion District, Chinatown, and City West. Many of these new communities are replacing what were previously surface parking lots, further enhancing DTLA’s vibrant lifestyle and urban experience.”
