ROW DTLA: Paving the Way for Local Business Success

ROW DTLA is more than just a shopping and entertainment destination; it is a unique hub for creativity and innovation in downtown Los Angeles. Local entrepreneurs who have built their businesses within the complex, may take advantage of its industrial chic atmosphere, routine events and one-of-a-kind experiences and that suits them just fine.

The location of ROW DTLA in the Warehouse District is a collection of early 20th-century buildings that formerly functioned as a produce market. Through meticulous restoration and renovation efforts, the original architectural features have been preserved, resulting in a harmonious fusion of old and new elements. The site now exudes an elegant and contemporary atmosphere that appeals to visitors of diverse ranges. The large to enormous concrete walls of the buildings are adorned with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, offering a tantalizing view of the distinctive shops within.

RIOS is a Los Angeles-based design firm responsible for look and feel of this 30-acre mixed-use development in downtown LA. Through the use of industrial materials and raw utilitarian details, the design transformed the long rows of warehouse-style buildings into 1.3 million square feet of creative office space, with over 100 unique retail stores and 30,000 square feet of space for the arts.

The complex also hosts a range ofevents and exhibitions throughout the year, showcasing the work of local artists and creatives. These events, such as the popular Smorgasburg, draw in large crowds that help sustain the economy for the shops and businesses within ROW DTLA.

But ROW DTLA is more than just a shopping destination. It also functions as a hub for creativity and innovation, with office rentals catering to artists and creative professionals.

ROW DTLA is also a popular spot for photo shoots and social media influencers, who frequent the complex to capture the perfect shot for their feeds. The unique architecture and urban-chic surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for stunning photos.

And for those looking for a unique cinematic experience, ROW DTLA offers a rooftop cinema where visitors can enjoy classic and cult films under the stars. This unique experience provides a stunning backdrop of downtown LA, making it an unforgettable way to spend an evening.

Visitors can also stay informed about the latest happenings in downtown LA by picking up a copy of DTLA Weekly at Rappahannock Oyster Bar and M1 Lobby’s Cafe Dulce, both located within the ROW DTLA complex.

Getting to ROW DTLA is easy, with public transportation and parking available on site. The complex is open seven days a week, with varying hours depending on the shop or restaurant.

I live & work in DTLA where I run a veteran- and LGBTQ-owned small business. Since being elected, I have led the review of and response to several key issues facing DTLA, including the far-reaching redesign of LA’s building and zoning code DTLA 2040 Community Plan and the Mills Act. I am a strong advocate for the continued preservation of DTLA’s historic buildings, and revitalization of the Historic Broadway Theater District. I champion the needs of DTLA’s art galleries, for the safety of vulnerable populations, disaster preparedness, and the needs of local small businesses. In my first two years, I have volunteered more than 300 hours working with labor unions, community groups, theatre owners, city hall, and others to beautify the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. If these efforts resonate with you, then vote for me. Let’s see what we can accomplish in another two years!

I am focusing on raising awareness and highlighting local community issues concerning; safety, street maintenance and the quality of life for DTLA residents. Will work to address the community concerns with a more realistic approach, including homelessness issues, promoting small local businesses, encourage more “green area” developments (planting of trees/foliage). Further, I will work to encourage stricter DTLA pet community responsibilities, by increasing accessibility to pet waste bags and stricter enforcement of pooper scooper laws.

We all know that there are apparent issues, we need to actually put in the strength into defending the HC and not standby letting this place continue to be the joke of the Los Angeles area. Actually born In the LA area and lived in DTLA for the better part of a decade now. I love Downtown and definitely want the best for it. Thrilled with the renaissance it was going through; terrible to see its most recent set backs. My family has worked for this city and built this city in past years. My experience is in project planning, advertising and experiential design. I make plans, solve problems, bring people together. My main areas of focus are: Beautification – (greenery, signage, etc), Walkability (cleanliness, pets), HC awareness (bring attention as a tourist location), Reclaiming the metros, Heritage (Refurb the original LA), Livability (work to remove negative attributes), Volunteerism (volunteer and rally to achieve goals).
