RESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

S

ince the beginning of its renaissance in 1999, Downtown Los Angeles has been one of the fastest growing residential markets in the country and has established itself as a premiere urban destination. This report provides a comprehensive examination of the current residential market in DTLA and a detailed assessment of opportunities for its ongoing development.

A defining aspect of the DTLA market is its collection of distinct neighborhoods, each with their own character and mix of attributes and amenities. Understanding the unique qualities of these neighborhoods and their appeal to various segments of the market is critical to assessing the development potential of each. And while the DTLA 2040 plan supports overall growth, it also attempts to reinforce this diversity of neighborhoods.

The Downtown LA market comprises a total of almost 60,000 residential units, of which almost 37,000 are market rate rentals, almost 8,000 are condos, and almost 15,000 are affordable housing. Almost all the market-rate rentals and condos have been produced since 1999. Despite such rapid growth, demand has never slackened, with occupancy rates for mature properties staying consistently at or above 90%.

No evaluation of the Downtown residential market would be complete without an examination of the residential population itself. DTLA’s demographics provide a vivid portrait of those who gravitate to living in this kind of dynamic urban environment.

In this respect, Downtowners are younger than the broader LA region, with the share of residents 18-34 being 41%, and highly educated, with 67% of them having post-secondary schooling.

Looking to the future, the recently approved update to the Downtown Community Plan (aka: DTLA 2040) supports even greater residential expansion, accommodating up to 100,000 additional housing units, which would increase the population to almost 250,000.

DTLA’s residential stock falls into three basic categories, built during successive and increasingly ambitious waves of development. Over the first 8 years of Downtown’s Renaissance, 87% of new inventory came from adaptive reuse of older commercial buildings.

This was followed by a period dominated by new construction of mid-rise properties up to 8 stories.

More recently, the focus has been on high-rise projects of 30+ stories.

DTLA Alliance

Like all residential markets, Downtown Los Angeles is a complex combination of people and places, past and present, community and culture. In DTLA, that mix encompasses a wide range of building types, neighborhoods, and demographics, alongside the largest concentration of jobs and office space in the Southern California region, one of the most prominent collections of cultural institutions in the nation, worldclass sports and entertainment venues, and a critically acclaimed dining and nightlife scene. That unique amalgam of assets and advantages makes it a very appealing place to live and thus a highly attractive place to develop.

RESIDENTIAL CURRENT RESIDENTIAL MARKET As one of the fastest growing residential markets in the country, the supply of new inventory has reliably been met with increasing demand. As was the case in most markets, the COVID-19 pandemic saw a short-lived drop in occupancy rates that have since rebounded strongly and are now consistently at or over 90%, even as more new inventory is delivered.

QUARTERLY STAT TRACKING The residential market rebounded strongly after a short-term decline during the pandemic, with rent and occupancy returning to pre-pandemic levels. Although occupancy dipped in 2023 due to delivery of over 2,000 new units, it has remained over 90% ever since.

RESIDENTIAL FUTURE OF THE RESIDENTIAL MARKET DTLA 2040 The new Downtown Community Plan that was formally adopted by the LA City Council in December 2024 provides a blueprint for the next phase of residential growth. It not only increases Downtown’s overall capacity for new residential development, it includes several key provisions that will encourage increased density by providing incentives and eliminating requirements.

KEY FEATURES OF NEW COMMUNITY PLAN • • • • •

Increase the portion of Downtown where housing can be built by-right from 33% to 60% Updated zoning and land use designations are more tailored to current uses 3-level Community Benefits Program provides density bonuses for including affordable housing, open space/community facilities, and contributing to a community benefits fund Elimination of parking requirements, allowing developer to assess their needs Expansion of adaptive reuse to include any building that is more than 25 years old

PHASE III

PHASE I

From 1999 to 2008, the Downtown LA Renaissance was led by adaptive reuse of historic office buildings comprising almost 90% of new residential inventory. After a pause following the 2008 financial crisis, residential development shifted to new construction of mid-rise apartments up to 8 stories. Finally, from 2018 to today, development has again shifted to high-rise projects of 30+ stories. Unsurprisingly, given the larger scope of these projects, the overall number of new units delivered has grown substantially – only pausing in response to global events.

RESIDENTIAL PHASE I: ADAPTING & REUSING Passage of the Adaptive Reuse Ordinance in 1999 spurred the first wave of new residential development, consisting almost exclusively of conversions of historic office buildings, many dating back to the 1920s. The unique charm and character of these properties is their biggest draw, while on-site amenities will vary from property to property.

RESIDENTIAL PHASE II: FROM THE GROUND UP Following the financial crisis of 2008, developers returned to DTLA with increased confidence, resulting in the first wave of new residential construction, primarily in the form of mid-rise apartments of up to 8 stories, which is the limit on wood-framed construction. As of 2026, this type of product represents approximately 1/3 of the inventory of market-rate units.

RESIDENTIAL PHASE III: REACH FOR THE SKY As confidence in the DTLA residential market continued to grow, so too did the scale of residential projects, with the bulk of new deliveries since 2018 being in high-rise properties, including four that stand over 50 stories, and six that contain over 500 units. These properties all tend to be on the higher end of the spectrum in terms of design, amenities, and rental rates.

RESIDENTIAL CONDOS Representing only about 14% of total inventory, condo units are still a significant component of the DTLA market, providing an ownership option for long-term residents. Almost 1/3 of Downtown condos were delivered from 2005 to 2008. In the aftermath of the housing market collapse, while apartment construction boomed, the next new condos were not delivered until 2017.

RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS

Downtown is comprised of many unique neighborhoods that have grown alongside each other, while retaining their distinctive characters. Different communities with distinct features appeal to different segments of the market. This is reflected in the various types of residential projects that are developed in each neighborhood and how they integrate themselves into the fabric of the community.

RESIDENTIAL PROFILE OF DTLA RESIDENTS DTLA is the “first choice” for Angelenos who want an active urban lifestyle. As such, Downtowners are much more likely to use alternative modes of transportation and tend to work closer to where they live. Because the DTLA housing market is predominantly rental and its demographics skew towards young and single, it is also more transitory than the rest of the region. At the same time, it attracts a significant share of long-term residents, as demonstrated by our survey.
