Classic buildings from the early 20th century updated for today’s creative firms in architecture, design, fashion and technology.

A City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, PacMutual is an iconic 450,000 SF complex of three interconnected buildings that has been at the forefront of DTLA’s rise as a destination for creative companies. Strategic investments to upgrade and reposition the property have attracted a new wave of tenants in fashion, design, technology, and communications.
The CalEdison
One of the first all-electrically heated and cooled buildings in the United States, The CalEdison is a fourteen-story, steel-framed 1931 treasure that follows a classically inspired Art Deco design. As part of its repositioning for creative offices, the property now features a campus-wide fiber backbone that allows tenants to work across the property’s amenities on their own private network, including at the hip espresso bar in the building’s spectacular Deco lobby.
Industrial:
Traditional warehouse and manufacturing properties retrofitted and repositioned as flexible open space for innovative companies. From the ultra-hip Arts District to the emerging Industrial and Fashion Districts, DTLA’s 25 million SF of industrial space is suddenly a very hot commodity.

The effort has already landed its first new signature tenant in Adidas, who will occupy 107,000 SF.
