Premium Corner Retail Showroom with Dual Street Frontage
Building description
We are pleased to present a premier corner retail opportunity in Downtown Los Angeles featuring floor-to-ceiling glass, dual frontage, and two separate customer entrances on Broadway and 9th Street.
This is an A-Class space in an iconic Class A building.
This turnkey space sits on the busy signalized corner of Broadway and 9th Street, delivering high visibility in one of Downtown Los Angeles’ most active corridors. The property is an A-class Art Deco landmark with strong architectural identity and long-standing retail significance, benefiting from continuous pedestrian and vehicular exposure throughout the day.
The 3,916 SF corner unit offers approximately 180 feet of uninterrupted floor-to-ceiling glass frontage along both Broadway and 9th Street, maximizing brand visibility from multiple approach angles. With dual-street exposure, strong signage potential on both elevations, and more than 25,000 vehicles passing daily, the space provides exceptional street presence. The site also benefits from nearly a 100% Walk Score and steady pedestrian activity driven by nearby residential, office, hospitality, and cultural destinations.
The interior features steel-framed glass storefronts, unique smooth coat cement-finish walls, high ceilings with exposed structural elements, and premium LED track lighting throughout. A custom terrazzo large tile floor with black and pink detailing and metal inlay accents establishes a distinctive design identity. The layout is fully open and flexible, supported by existing HVAC and ducting, with designated areas for fitting rooms, a back-of-house office, and direct restroom access. Subterranean storage is also available for operational support.
The space includes two separate customer entrances, with double-door access on Broadway adjacent to il Caffè and additional double-door access along 9th Street, allowing for efficient circulation, flexible merchandising layouts, and strong retail activation potential.
The surrounding trade area includes more than 110,000 residents within a 12-block radius and over 11.5 million people across the Greater Los Angeles region. The immediate demographic base includes high-income DTLA loft and condo residents, with average household incomes ranging from $100,000 to $200,000, supporting strong retail demand and spending power. The property sits directly across from the Apple Tower Theatre flagship and is surrounded by leading retail and cultural anchors including Urban Outfitters, Gentle Monster, the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM), the Los Angeles Convention Center, and The Last Bookstore.
The location offers excellent regional connectivity with immediate access to major freeways, multiple Metro lines, and nearby rail stations. On-site private parking is available, with additional public parking structures and street parking nearby, providing convenience for customers, staff, and logistics operations.
