By that measure buildings with very low energy use and onsite renewables, and their utility grid interactions, are the hottest topics in our industry . The terminology and dialog around these buildings has exploded since we began our research on zero net energy (ZNE) buildings in 2009 and published our leading reports and lists in 2012 and 2014 . NBI has engaged in nearly every facet of these discussions and debates, from government to designers to owners . And while the terminology and definitions vary by entity and organization, from zero net energy to net zero energy to zero energy buildings to zero net carbon buildings to living buildings, they share a common objective—to reduce environmental impacts associated with energy use in buildings .

Your support has made so much possible this year, from our safe and clean programs, to our economic development and marketing initiatives. Together, we ensure the continued growth of our Downtown community. This year, Downtown LA began to return to its roots as a retail destination with the opening of Sport Chalet, Smart & Final, Acne Studios, and Urban Outfitters. The highly anticipated new Wilshire Grand construction began and nearly 70 businesses opened, bringing new jobs and sales tax revenue while enriching the community. The DCBID continued to be the hub for data and research about Downtown LA. Our fourth Downtown LA Demographic Study revealed a residential population of 52,400 (6% increase since 2011) whose median household income is $98,700 (11% increase since 2011). Our year-end market report noted a residential occupancy rate of 95%, with 5,000 units under construction and 13,000 in the pipeline. There are 1,292 hotel rooms under construction with 1,688 in the pipeline. Our investor’s conference in early 2014 revealed demand across all markets. With a steadfast goal of increasing the value of your properties, we promoted thousands of businesses, events, and programs on our website, DowntownLA.com, the go-to resource for all who live, work, play, and invest in Downtown LA.

  • 2O2o Annual Report
    COMMUNITY & COMMITMENT 2O2O ANNUAL REPORT DEAR DOWNTOWN STAKEHOLDER It is with deep pride and steadfast commitment that we share with you the 2020 Annual Report for the Downtown Center Business Improvement District (DCBID). Looking back at the most difficult year in our District’s history, we can say with renewed confidence that our organization, and our community, is resilient, resourceful, and built to last. While Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), like cities across the globe, faced unprecedented circumstances due to the impacts of COVID-19, the core services that the DCBID has provided to its property owners since its inception in 1998 helped keep the District safe, clean, and viable throughout the year, and helped position us for recovery and revitalization as the pandemic begins to recede. Deemed essential workers at the start of the shutdown, our Safe and Clean Teams maintained its commitment to the highest standards of hygiene, sanitation, and safety across the District, 24/7, through months of extremely challenging conditions. In 2020, they responded to over 24,563 calls for service, and removed over 69,766 bags of trash and over 18,108 instances of graffiti. Working with our Homeless Outreach teams, our Safe and Clean teams continued their tireless efforts without interruption, proving just how essential they truly are. Nurturing a sense of community in the District is a key element of our mission and was never more critical than during this crisis. In the distinct absence of office workers and visitors, the District’s residential community filled the void, showing its strength and commitment by supporting local businesses, helping clean-up efforts following demonstrations and celebrations, and just keeping the lights on during a very dark period.
