District Profile

The streets of Historic Downtown Los Angeles are the birthplace of Los Angeles and include two National Register of Historic Districts, the Broadway Theater District and the Spring Street Financial District. Walking these streets, we experience the City's living history.

Broadway

The districts' architectural integrity has thankfully been preserved, giving Broadway unlimited potential to flourish as a unique destination for the new downtown. Broadway has attained a place in the history of our City; it is a treasure with limitless potential. History will repeat itself, and Broadway will again be the retail, entertainment, and business center that it once was.

Broadway & Spring Street Overview

Spring Street

Walking one street to the east, we encounter the historic Spring Street Financial District, once known as the "Wall Street of the West". It is a National Register Historic District, and recent attention has brought the historic corridor to life with multiple housing conversations and recent designation as Gallery Row where many art galleries are concentrating on reusing the retail spaces below the conversions.

Spring Street is looking toward the 21st century with the vibrancy and exuberance of decades past. Through the conversions of the historic buildings, Spring Street is developing into a competitive, fast-paced live/work environment perfect for up-and-coming businesses that need access to Downtown's high-speed Internet hubs and fiber optic lines.

Main Street

The development continues a block east to Main Street, where live/work lofts apartments will line the streets. Presently, Main Street has several fully occupied converted loft buildings that attract a variety of people from the artists to the professional.
