La Brea Update: What’s Happening Now

Posted on September 25, 2019

While still a work in progress, the La Brea area is showing signs of momentum in its revival plan.

CGI Strategies is pleased to announce that our La Brea Project has been approved by the city council, with a vote of 28-1, thus signaling the start of our contribution to the neighborhood’s evolution. We are thrilled to partner with the community on this momentous project.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is on pace to see the completion of their highly anticipated project later this year. And now, all eyes shift to the La Brea Tar Pits renovation. Several options have been presented and the adjacent Art Museum wait in anticipation of the impending construction phase of the project.

The new Tar Pits will breathe life into all La Brea projects. In this digital age of 3D and high-tech innovations being among the most desired, the La Brea Tarpits will capitalize on that trend and provide a cohesiveness that connects it to the neighborhood.

Nearby LACMA has updated its restructuring plans to include connecting sidewalks to the Tar Pits, which will help bring the whole area together.

We are confident that the area will continue upon this momentum and reach its goal of achieving a thriving, cohesive, must-visit destination once envisioned by A.W. Ross.

Best Bosses | Here are Real Estate Forum’s picks for Best Bosses in 2023.

The last year has not been easy for the head of a commercial real estate company. Inflation and the Fed’s response, as well as trends that emerged from the pandemic, have clearly had an impact on the industry across all of the sectors. Besides the effect of, say, ongoing remote work on the beleaguered office asset class or the slowing pace of rent increases in multifamily, these executives have also had to navigate an increasingly difficult capital markets environment. I have some bad news for this group: the near-term future doesn’t look any easier. Enter our selection of Best Bosses this year. This year’s picks were made at least in part based on their resiliency and ability to position their companies for future growth, whenever that might occur. We are confident these strengths will see them through what could be choppy waters ahead.
