Notable Locations
THE FORUM
The Forum is an indoor entertainment arena located in Inglewood, California.
Designed as a multi-sports recreation venue by the same architect who
realized Madison Square Gardens in New York City, it was nationally
renowned. It achieved star status as the home of the Los Angeles Lakers
and the Los Angeles Kings from 1967 to 1999. In 2014, it was reinvented as
an entertainment venue, and is the largest indoor performance venue in the
country. The area has been completely modernized and features flexible
seating, and hosts major international music acts.
LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (LAX)
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is the fifth busiest airport in the
world and second busiest in the United States, offering 692 daily flights to 85
domestic cities and 928 weekly nonstop flights to 67 cities in 34 countries on
59 passenger air carriers. The airport is known visually for its distinctive white
“Theme Building,” located at the hub of the oblong-shaped terminal system
and resembling a flying saucer that has landed on its four legs. The building
was designed in the early 1960s and pays homage to the area’s longtime
association with aeronautical engineering.
HOLLYWOOD PARK
Hollywood Park
has long served
as Inglewood’s
premiere
entertainment
center. For more
than 75 years,
it was the site
of one of the
most important
thoroughbred horse racing venues on the West Coast. Although
the race course closed in 2013, extensive remodeling has
been done for Hollywood Park Casino, which is located on
the park grounds. As of 2015, a huge redevelopment project
is underway to reposition the rest of the site as a mixed-use
recreation destination. The project, named “City of Champions
Revitalization Project,” includes plans for a world-class stadium
and performance venue as well as 4M SF of retail, office, hotel,
and residential space on 298 acres.
THE CRENSHAW/LAX TRANSIT PROJECT
The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project, also called the Crenshaw Line,
is an 8.5-mile light-rail line with eight stations. The project, run by
the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro),
is currently under construction and will feature terminuses at
the Green Line’s Aviation/LAX station, where free shuttle buses
transport passengers to LAX, and the Expo Line’s Expo/Crenshaw
station. The Crenshaw Line is slated to open in 2019.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Los Angeles
County Overview
The County of Los Angeles, whose 4,083 square miles span a variety of landscapes, consists
of 88 cities, 140 unincorporated communities, and two islands: San Clemente Island and Santa
Catalina Island. Known for its coastal communities along 70 miles of Pacific Ocean as well as
for its eastern county farmland, national and state parks, major rivers, deserts, and mountain
ranges, the county is as geographically diverse as its population.
The county seat (also the largest city by population and land area), Los Angeles, boasts a
population of over 3.8 million and lends its name to the county. With a population of over 10
million residents which is steadily increasing, LA County’s job growth in burgeoning industries
such as entertainment, technology, and e-commerce continues to attract residents to its
metropolitan hubs despite its higher cost of living. Multifamily markets across the county are
highly active, with nearly half of residents spending 30% or more of their income on housing.
The demand for housing in metro areas has spurred increased activity in retail markets as well,
with higher densities of Los Angeles County residents driving up demand for local amenities.

MARKET OVERVIEW: Los Angeles

42 US states. With approximately 27% of California’s residents within its borders, it is extremely diverse and represents more
than 140 cultures and as many as 224 languages.
