Leasing completed at The Emerson in downtown Los Angeles

Located at the epicenter of downtown Los Angeles' cultural core, luxury apartment building The Emerson, from Related California, has announced that leasing is at 98% within one year of opening. Related California, the West Coast affiliate of the nation's largest privately owned development firm, Related Companies, has completed more than 9,800 residences across California.

"The fact that we're 98% leased only a year after opening is a testament to our commitment to providing what people look for in a home," said Gino Canori, executive vice president of development for Related California Residential. "A diverse set of residents from L.A. and around the world have been powerfully attracted to this elegant, one-of-a-kind property, and the leasing velocity at The Emerson showcases the residential appeal of downtown Los Angeles."

In a condensed city like L.A., The Emerson provides an oasis to its residents. Residents have the ability to work out in The Emerson's on-site fitness center with yoga studios and steam rooms, relax by the pool or in the penthouse lounge, take their dog to the on-site pet spa and dog run or enjoy a delectable meal prepared by Vespaio, either downstairs at the restaurant's new location in the building or in the comfort of their own home. The Emerson Personal Assistant can assist with any request to make day-to-day activities easier, including making dinner reservations, obtaining tickets to a sporting event and facilitating a dog wash at The Emerson's pet spa, as well as handling personal appointment bookings and travel arrangements. "People seek us out because they know and love the Related way of life," said Canori. "Our wide range of amenities show how much we truly care about quality of life and want our residents to enjoy their home to the fullest extent."

As part of a quickly developing, prestigious corridor that includes the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Museum of Contemporary Art, The Broad Museum and more, The Emerson is surrounded by cultural institutions. Whether going to work, play, eat or just experiencing all that DTLA has to offer, The Emerson provides a convenient location with a multitude of amenities and services. The Emerson has set a precedent for elegant and sophisticated living in downtown Los Angeles, with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Marmol Radziner. The 20-story building, atop downtown L.A.'s Bunker Hill, boasts unsurpassed amenities and services including a residence-only penthouse lounge and terrace, outdoor pool and 24-hour attended lobby with concierge. This past June, The Emerson welcomed Vespaio, a dining destination by renowned restaurateur Agostino Sciandri, into its ground floor. Offering in-room dining to residents, the all-day eatery lets The Emerson residents enjoy the Italian cuisine in the privacy of their homes.

Situated next to The Emerson is The Broad museum, DTLA's highly anticipated, new contemporary art institution that recently opened. Also new to the corridor is Otium, a restaurant with an eclectic menu by chef Timothy Hollingsworth, opening this month. "Downtown Los Angeles has quickly become a cultural hotspot with acclaimed museums, music centers and restaurants," said Canori. "The Emerson is located right in the middle of it all, allowing residents to enjoy everything the neighborhood has to offer."
