MAPLE British Columbia is looking forward to welcoming members and guests for the first reception of our B.C. community in 2021.

We are honored to welcome Brookfield Property in Los Angeles as our featured organization with a presentation on their significant redevelopment of the California Market Center as the hub of L.A.’s historic fashion district. David Foley, Senior Vice President of Operations, Sue Bhanubandh, Director of CMC Leasing and Moriah Robinson, Director of CMC Events, will provide an overview of this tremendous example of Canadian investment in downtown LA in one of its key sectors.

Presentation: Revitalizing the Fashion District in Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA)

Description: Today, DTLA and the Fashion District are attracting and becoming the nexus point for creativity. The emergence of technology firms, fashion apparel, and beauty companies are a natural extension of this creative mindset. The traditional globally influential touchpoints in Los Angeles of entertainment, arts, and culinary worlds, form the underpinning for this renaissance. California Market Center’s relaunch this year as a creative mixed-use campus is uniquely positioned to appeal to the rising influx of prominent companies migrating downtown.
