“Even with 22 stores in the greater Los Angeles area, Apple’s retail team has been on the search for the perfect flagship store location for years, and now they may have found it,” Gary Allen reports for ifoAppleStore.
“Incredibly, a tipster says the company has signed a lease for ‘several hundred thousand square-feet’ of space inside the historic Broadway Trade Center in the city’s downtown,” Allen reports, “which lately has been blooming with redevelopments.”

I live right next door to this in a historic loft building. This is a game changer for the neighborhood.
Do you own it if so time to crack open the Champagne, if not I dread your next rent review.
Beats Brand.
Its all about the bass no treble! 🙂
Sweet!
Retail & business will absolutely boom in the blocks around the renovated “Apple” building.
Downtown Los Angeles really is booming. Shifting away from the toxic dump site it once was into a more trendy desirable area. Happy to see this continuing with the confidence of upward companies like Apple.
You could never see Microsoft doing this without creating a sucking empty black hole cricket infestation downtown.
Downtown becomes a ghost town on the weekends. Hard to see why Apple would choose a flagship where most people don’t go on the two days when. Most people shop.
Just makes parking easier for Apple customers!
Just sold my house and moved into the redeveloping Hollywood where I can walk to work, then take Subway downtown or Uber if I’m with a date. Downtown is a chagrin, my friend.
LOL downtown is a changin’ stupid ass autocorrect.
Poor workman that blames his instruments!
