Market Positioning and Financial Metrics
The Promenade remains one of Los Angeles County’s premier retail destinations, commanding rents of over $500 per square foot. However, a vacancy rate of 10-15% reflects both the impact of the pandemic and a shifting retail landscape. Challenges related to homelessness and urban maintenance have compounded these issues, yet recent developments have sparked optimism. New leases and investments demonstrate a growing recognition of the Promenade’s enduring value. Initiatives by property owners and city stakeholders to enhance safety and improve the retail experience are reshaping perceptions, fostering stability in leasing activity.
Customer Demographic
As redevelopment efforts continue and new tenants settle in, the Promenade is addressing urban challenges and fostering a welcoming, vibrant environment – this coastal icon is doing all in its power for a resurgence.
