Leasing Market Overview
MEASURING Q1 2025Retail vacancy in the submarket reached 9.4% in Q1, up from 7.0% a year ago and a low of 4.9% in Q3 2022. This marks one of the highest vacancy rates across Greater Los Angeles and sits well above the metro average of 5.8%. It’s important to note that these figures exclude ground-floor retail in office and multifamily buildings. The sluggish return of office workers, along with ongoing concerns around crime and homelessness, has continued to weigh on Downtown LA’s retail environment.
