Manhattan on the West Coast?  With the creation of L.A. Live, downtown Los Angeles will become a hub of activity. Living, working and reveling in an urban downtown lifestyle is no longer merely a desire or a dream. It has now become a reality!

With this new development comes an excitement and energy that will completely revitalize the east side of Los Angeles. Theatres, clubs, plazas, studios, restaurants, museums, hotels and housing are all components of this project. These amenities will not only bring people to downtown—but also keep them there. L.A. Live affords a lifestyle that had previously been void for most Angelinos.

For a city evenly spread north to south and east to west; finally we have a centralized point, which will prove to be the anchor in providing stability for an ever growing city. In turn, as downtown becomes a center of activity, the surrounding areas will benefit tremendously. Suburbs bordering downtown that have, for most, long been forgotten are now being rejuvenated.

As the previously underutilized downtown becomes a draw for much of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Redevelopment Project continues to progress, East Los Angeles is undergoing significant cultural and economic growth.  

Silver Lake, Lincoln Heights, Echo Park, Glendale and Chinatown are shining examples of areas that exude the energy and creativity associated with this expansion. Galleries, studios; numerous businesses and architecturally unique buildings define these locales and embody the spirit of L.A.’s resurgence.

Westside living has long been desirable. Eastside living is now in demand. It is trendy, fashionable yet practical. It is stimulating and invigorating. For too long the Eastside has been neglected. The power of its renaissance and its widespread affect on an entire city can be felt from street corner to street corner.

Imagine the possibility of walking out your front door and down the block to the metro stop. Think about all the places you can go and things you can do. Ride the train downtown for a meal. Head uptown for a show. Take a late night ride to your favorite bar.  Now, you no longer have to imagine. For East Los Angeles and points beyond, a truly cosmopolitan lifestyle is tangible. Manhattan on the West Coast is here!
