Plummeting skyscraper value deals huge blow to downtown Los Angeles

Yes, that is most of it. More people live in DTLA today than have in the last several decades.

[@hiddenintheshadows530]

nope, corporations let people work from home and found it more profitable to not have offices. This lead to more leases ending and the value of office space dropped and then the value of property for office space. It's the housing bubble all over again with commercial real-estate. You would have to read and know more to actually understand what is happening

[@qqqcalls]

@@hiddenintheshadows530 You get off on thinking that you are smarter than others... its just sad.

[@mrxman581]

@hiddenintheshadows530 Yes, remote work is part of it. But leases aren't being completely canceled, more like adjusted because less office space is needed now. However, there are companies beginning to require their employees to return to the office, especially in circumstances where leases might be locked in long-term or the business has ownership of the property. Though, this could also make room for more businesses that could be smaller. I see as an opportunity to get a better lease.

Not to discount the news too much, but this valuation is just someone's opinion, and I don't know why they decided this is a job that had to be done.

That place is going to be a thorn in the side of DTLA boosters for a long time to come.

Oceanwide Plaza will get finished because it's in a fantastic location, and real estate is primarily about location. It would have been sold by now if it wasn't for Covid. That southern area of DTLA has had the most construction in the last 12 years. Now it's about buying it at the right price.

Just shows that a real estate project can be completed, even with Covid.

It would take another billion to complete, and it would take as much money as it is currently valued at to knock it down.

LA Metro was playing the Godzilla roar on the speakers at the station. It sounded like Godzilla was in the station tunnels. There were also large banners on the mezzanine level. After buying my figurine, I walked around the big main Plaza and grabbed a bite to eat. The food was great. Best spicey miso soup I've ever had. BTW, it was around 6 pm, and the Plaza was packed with people of all kinds. The Regional Connector and the new underground station that opened in June 2023 has been a huge boon to Little Tokyo.
