Incredible owner/user opportunity at 158 Glendale in Echo Park.
We built this space for @Sayloragency and it's in a great little pocket of town, one block from: @clarkstreetbread, @gra_la_ , @Laveta coffee and most recently @henriettala which is one of my new favorites and is a sandwich shop during the day and full bistro at night...all great spots to walk to from working at 158 Glendale.
Approx. 11,704 RSF available across the entire second floor beautifully built out and featuring hardwood floors, exposed brick walls and timber ceiling, marble & walnut kitchens, and lots of steel and glass.
The first floor tenant, @groundfloorclub is a great amenity, that pays you rent!
For Sale. DM me for more details or visit my website in bio.

Almaraz made Echo Park a recurring setting for paintings that move between familiar landscape and dream. LACMA’s 2017 exhibition writing documents Echo Park Bridge at Night, painted in 1989, and the increasingly personal imagery of his later work. These paintings offer an artistic history of the place.
Visell’s DRIFT exhibition at iam8bit brought more than one hundred hand-collected and crafted driftwood sculptures to Echo Park. Her background in animation and independent art connects character, material and storytelling. This documented past show offers a distinctive view of the neighborhood’s exhibition culture.

Pupusas bring Salvadoran food into the workday at this 8th Street restaurant. The family’s official directory identifies this independently operated branch as part of its Los Angeles network. Build a lunch around the kitchen’s current offerings, then continue exploring Westlake’s established neighborhood businesses and community arts.
A nearby Koreatown destination for Oaxacan cooking, Guelaguetza extends a Westlake outing beyond the immediate neighborhood. The Lopez family’s restaurant dates to 1994 and remains a place to explore mole and the food traditions of Oaxaca. Plan it as a separate meal rather than a doorstep amenity.
Westlake’s art is closely tied to public life: the park, the station and the organizations where young people learn to make work. Start with Metro’s permanent commissions, then look for an announced community exhibition.

Heart of LA / Visual Arts
2619 Wilshire Blvd
Heart of LA connects professional artists and young people through classes, residencies and exhibitions. Its Westlake program also supports community art in Lafayette Park. Follow its public exhibition announcements; youth classes require registration, and the teaching spaces are not a drop-in gallery.
The station’s mezzanine brings neighborhood history into everyday travel. Sonia Romero’s thirteen mosaic panels and Francisco Letelier’s ceramic murals observe the park, its people and its landmarks.
Romero translated observations of MacArthur Park into thirteen ceramic mosaic panels for the Metro station. Her black-and-white scenes pair everyday activity with architectural details found nearby. The 2010 work offers a way to read Westlake through its shared spaces and the people who use them.
Letelier’s two ceramic murals at Westlake/MacArthur Park station draw on local people and landmarks. Their vivid imagery connects the neighborhood’s past with its cultural life. Metro dates the commission to 1993, linking the artist’s experience of migration with the community represented in the work.
