The Merritt Building at 761 S Broadway offers a rare opportunity to secure a historic and modernized office property in one of Downtown Los Angeles’ most dynamic districts. Spanning approximately 56,795 square feet across nine floors, this 4-Star building recently underwent significant upgrades, including new base building systems for electrical, mechanical, and seismic compliance. The original architectural design by Reid & Reid retains its historic appeal while seamlessly integrating contemporary amenities, making it an attractive asset for investors or owner-users.
Located at the high-visibility corner of Broadway and 8th Street, the building commands a strong presence in Los Angeles’ revitalized Historic Core. The ground and lower levels feature an 8,500-square-foot flagship retail space currently occupied by Adidas Originals, reinforcing the property’s retail strength. Upper floors, ranging from approximately 5,400 to 6,800 square feet, are thoughtfully designed to provide full-floor identity, open floor plans, and abundant natural light for creative and professional office users.
Surrounded by thriving hospitality, dining, and cultural attractions, the property benefits from exceptional walkability, access to major transit systems, and proximity to key entertainment hubs like the Orpheum Theatre and Grand Central Market. This asset presents significant upside through lease-up of recently renovated office floors within the heart of a dynamic, growth-oriented market.
