Real Estate developer Bob Sonnenblick to be speaking at the upcoming Bisnow “Downtown Los Angeles Real Estate” conference on May 31st

Downtown L.A. is in the midst of the biggest construction and development boom the city has seen since the 1920s. The impact of this boom is staggering: thousands of jobs are being created, more residents are moving downtown to find a live-work-play environment, restaurants and retail are seeing increased foot traffic and improvements to transportation and infrastructure are in the works.

Hear from the “legends” who shaped the Los Angeles skyline in the 1980s and the “up-and-comers” who are building the biggest and baddest developments that are transforming downtown.
