In the 1990s, Hollywood faced the effects of years of steady decline after a lack of investment in retail, office and parking space. But the nineties and early two-thousands were also a turning point for Hollywood.
Hollywood, CA
The Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency invested in improvements to public transportation and property owners formed a Business Improvement District (BID). Additionally, the LA City Council passed an adaptive reuse ordinance in 1999 to incentivize revitalization efforts, supporting the redevelopment of vacant and under-utilized buildings.
As a result of these efforts and other community characteristics, we recognized Hollywood as a Qualified Community and leveraged the reuse ordinance to help address Hollywood’s underserved real estate needs.
