City Market South lies on the border between the Fashion District and the Wholesale District, a vibrant neighborhood comprising over 100 blocks that serves as the region’s hub for fashion and apparel manufacturing and the distribution center for seafood, produce, and flowers.
The City Market South site was part of the oldest produce market in Los Angeles, and has been owned and operated by The City Market of Los Angeles since 1909.
In 2013, downtown developer Lena Group conceptualized the vision for City Market South as a destination for dining, entertainment and creative businesses, and teamed with the long-time property owner to realize the project’s vision.
