DTLA THROUGH COVID Although COVID affected communities across the region and globe, Downtown LA, like other major urban centers, was uniquely impacted by stay-at-home orders and other public health restrictions. As people remained in their residential communities, trips to DTLA dropped dramatically. However, despite the rise of the Delta and Omicron variants, 2021 saw a substantial recovery in visitation to DTLA. The real estate market followed similar trends, with the residential sector coming back stronger than ever; hospitality regaining much of its losses; and the office and retail sectors showing signs of recovery as cases drop, mandates ease, and return-to-work plans proceed.
