We concentrate on high density, mixed-use projects in the central city area and have a successful track record of turning blighted areas into vital neighborhoods. Our group is comprised of long-time Los Angeles residents who share a deep commitment to the city, and the possibility of re-establishing Downtown as a dynamic metropolitan center. Through a combination of technical expertise, financial resources and a deep understanding of the evolving urban landscape, we have pioneered projects that have set the standard for livability and design in Downtown. Real Estate We work together with our neighbors to foster the culture of mural making in the Arts District, helping artists locate walls and protect their pieces from vandalism. We collaborate with local and city wide greening organizations to strengthen our urban forest in the industrial districts and beyond. Since offering the first public EV fast charging bank in DTLA, we continue to be a pioneer in promoting diverse and sustainable mobility in Los Angeles. All of our properties supply EV charging free to tenants. Community In 2016, the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles received a major philanthropic gift from Leonard Hill to fund the design, construction, and programming of The Leonard Hill Arts Plaza beneath the new Sixth Street Bridge. The gift includes funding for a stage and a public performing arts series, features that will draw valuable recreational and community-building opportunities to the area. The new bridge is scheduled for completion in 2019, with arts plaza programming beginning the following year.
