Lowe and AECOM-Canyon Partners Thursday unveiled the first specialty restaurants, cafes, retailers and services secured for the 50,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space at the under-construction Ivy Station mixed-use.
The Culver City development will be home to Equator Coffees, LA Ale Works, Mamoun’s falafel, StretchLab, YogaSix, and Healthy Spot when the property opens in mid-2020.
“These are the first retail leases at Ivy Station and indicative of the retail direction, which is to provide a collection of food, fitness and fun experiences,” Tom Wulf, executive vice president, Lowe, said in the announcement.
“We are in discussions with other equally dynamic businesses and will have additional announcements in the near future.”
