California Market Center (CMC)

Located in the heart of downtown's Fashion District, California Market Center is the hub of LA's fashion and creative communities, home to showrooms, events, creative offices, and businesses catering to the DTLA community. Built in 1962 by the Morse family as the first wholesale fashion marketplace west of the Mississippi, “California Mart” quickly became the primary center for fashion business in Los Angeles. Now comprising three towers that span more than 1.8 million square feet, CMC has a proud history in the global fashion industry as the heartbeat of LA’s fashion intersection. Acquired by Brookfield Properties in 2018, CMC is in the midst of an exciting $170-million redevelopment. As of January 2020, fashion showrooms and events have a new home in the CMC’s newly renovated Building C while Buildings A & B close to the public for renovation, relaunching in 2021 as a revitalized, mixed-use campus. The new CMC will build on an incredible legacy of passion and collaboration as it welcomes the next century’s creative visionaries.
