Boyle Heights Sears Building Slated for Revival

1.7-million-square-foot complex to be reactivated with apartments and commercial space. 

Last month, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission gave positive feedback to the proposed adaptive reuse of the landmark Sears, Roebuck & Company Mail Order Building in Boyle Heights.

The approximately 1.7-million-square-foot complex, built in phases between 1927 and 1970, was designed by architect George C. Nimmons in the Art Deco style.  The 10-to-15-story structure historically operated as a distribution hub for Sears catalog products, although operations ceased in 1992.  However, a Sears retail store still occupies a portion of the building.

How Apartment Rents Can Impact Commercial Real Estate

This past January, a new study came out that shocked me. Even more shocking is that many people didn’t seem to register the impact of the study, or just overlooked it. What I’m talking about is the study that compares apartment rent costs across the country. With an average price of $4,799, Santa Monica now has the highest apartment rents in the nation, followed by New York. Even more surprising is that Venice, just to the south of Santa Monica is now rated number 5 in the nation, having the dubious distinction of beating out San Francisco. Other than making apartments look like a good investment for the future, what does this mean for our local economy?
