The Bloc
The Bloc is a vibrant, open-air urban center located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, encompassing a full city block along the iconic 7th Street corridor. This LEED Gold certified project serves as a dynamic intersection point connecting LA's financial, fashion, jewelry, and theater districts, with direct access to the 7th Street Metro Center Station where four DTLA lines converge. The center has evolved from its previous incarnation into a modern mixed-use destination that seamlessly blends retail, dining, entertainment, and office space, creating an inclusive community hub for downtown workers, residents, and visitors. Notable amenities include Alamo Drafthouse Cinema for entertainment, UCLA Health for medical services, and a carefully curated mix of retailers and restaurants offering everything from casual dining to happy hour specials. The Bloc's commitment to community engagement is evident through its nonprofit partnerships, Pride campaign, public murals, and regular events, while its office component provides modern workspaces with premium perks for downtown businesses. With concierge services, convenient parking, traveler perks, and a rewards program, The Bloc has positioned itself as an essential destination that captures the energy and diversity of contemporary downtown Los Angeles living.
The Bloc attracts a diverse urban demographic of downtown Los Angeles professionals, residents, and tourists. The primary visitor base consists of young professionals aged 25-45 with above-average incomes who work in the surrounding financial, fashion, and entertainment districts. The center draws significant foot traffic from Metro riders using the adjacent 7th Street Metro Center Station, creating a mix of daily commuters, office workers seeking lunch and after-work dining, and weekend shoppers. The trade area includes both affluent downtown residents in nearby luxury high-rises and value-conscious transit users, resulting in a broad income spectrum that supports both upscale dining experiences and mainstream retail options.
