-by mcp

the south park development group in partnership with elvmotors brings you: The South Park Sustainability Shop
Coming to South Park: The South Park Sustainability Shop
-posted by MCPCondo Comparatives: Time to buy? Ask Rasmus at PRE 213-995-5055 (www.LADowntownCondos.com)
Firstly, why PRE? Why Rasmus? Because he and his team at PRE get it: He is both an investor in South Park Los Angeles (properties and added-value businesses designed to serve the communities’ residents such as Hygee Bakery just south of 11th street, on the corner of Hope and 11th-ample parking, which will be opening quite soon) and a resident of South Park L.A himself.
His concerns, his values, and his goals are aligned with other residents and he is a powerful advocate on behalf of the prospective buyer. Interestingly and importantly, he is in tune with the fastest growing South Park L.A demographic: Korean-American buyers. Rasmus has an intuitive sense of cultural understanding, which is very important: His values and outlook align with yours.
Next: is it time to buy? YES. Note in red below, South Park L.A took a 34% slide in condo-property values. There is not much more room to fall: the overall real estate market is evening out, in fits and starts, but, The South Park Development Group’s (WWW.FLVLLC.COM) data points to a bottom. What are the net effects of waiting to see if the market has more ‘give’ in it? Potential increased interest rates (governments engaged in stimulus policies tend to lead toward increased rates) whose increase may outwiegh the gains of waiting for a further drop.
Finally, the infrastructure of South Park L.A is strong and stable and there is a group of stake-holders (Rasmus at PRE), The South Park Development Team, Francis, the Managing Director of LUMA who are working to add the amenities and services, the attractions and interests, to round the neighborhood out.
It’s time to buy.

hygee bakery-part 2 of 5
Rasmus Lee and his partners are so close to opening a true, Danish bakery-Cafe serving fresh, just out of the oven, light, flaky, pastry and breakfast fare for the residents of South Park Los Angeles and the greater Downtown Los Angeles community, providing a needed service for South Park-in essence an alternative to Starbucks and providing 25-35 new full time and part time jobs to the under-employed.
He and his partners have brought on board a dynamic, professional expert from Denmark to assure quality and standards.
You can just imagine the aroma of fresh baked goods wafting from the greasless-kitchen, the scene of a busy, kitchen which can be viewed from the large windows. Hope Street, South Park Los Angeles, all the residents, and all the stake holders will benefit from Hygee Bakery: In a recession and Rasmus took financial and professional risks to open and he has had to go through significant difficulties to realize his goal.
This blog, and this author truly salute the perserverance of Rasmus and Co.,
Bottom-Line: If you knew the full-story, the drama behind the scenes of what it will take to finally open, you would agree, that at the end of the day, Rasmus, Premiere Real Estate (www.premiererealestatebroker.com), and all his partners have undergone a trial by fire in order to provide our South Park L.A residents an added value: A full-service, specialized, gourmet Danish bakery.
My team at The South Park Development Group (www.flvllc.com) is their neighbor and we can’t wait to walk two doors down for a light breakfast and some coffee. To all South Park residents- let’s support local innovation, let’s all become more than customers of Hygee Bakery and Rasmus’ efforts-let’s become members, regulars, and help turn the tide.
Soon to come: Part Three, Opening Day-which we will upload onto this site via live video-cast and flash around the world on You Tube and via a twitter-campaign.
will there be an artisan South Park L.A Workshop of woodworkers, built-in cabinetry makers, upholsterers, and other hand-crafted, skilled trades?
south park workshop
-posted by martin cavanaugh porter
We believe there will be.
The South Park Development Group has been working assiduously with local stake-holders and city wide players, with chambers, and our out-reach has only just begun.
Yesterday we had a promising meeting (for more info on that please see www.flvllc.com) and through out this week we will be putting out more feelers to gain both local, community support, as well as institutional support.
A South Park Workshop would bring flair and verve to our community and also play a part in employing the under-employed and saving vanishing skill-sets. Further, it would provide important services to our residents, and lift the positive profile of South Park Los Angeles.
This project is in it’s beginning stages from the perspective of time-lines but not from the perspective of planning or comitment and any number of elements could accelerate the process.
We will keep you posted and continue to be grateful for the phone calls and emails.

Again the email is: info@southparkrevive.com
We have heard you loud and clear: from all of you, our, neighbors, friends, clients, and allies: you can be assured we will do all that we can for you. It’s time for change.
the founder of wabi cycles taking me on a tour of the pershing square farmers market
discussing fixed gears and organic produce
-posted by martin cavanaugh porter
Yesterday I had the good fortune to spend some time with Richard Snook, the founder of Wabi Cycles, (www.wabicycles.com) at the Pershing Square Farmer’s Market in Downtown Los Angeles.
We were there to get a ‘feel’ for the market. My organization, The South Park Development Group (www.flvllc.com), is developing an organic/flea market in South Park Los Angeles called the south park sustainability cooperative.
Further, Richard introduced me to Kirby, one of the vendors, a straight-shooter from Bakersfield, an organic farmer, who maybe working with The South Park Development Group in the days and weeks ahead to develop the cooperative.
Richard had just come from a one-man cycle tour through Los Feliz, Echo Park, and Silver Lake and, after meeting me at the market, would return to his local workshop, as I would return to my offices.
It was fun and I enjoyed spending a little time with him and with Kirby.
follow-up to earlier post: e-road electric vehicles road test (zero carbon emissions)
phenomenal, fast, and fun-whilst achieving true sustainability.
the e-road’s a winner and a vital component toward moving los angeles toward a better, cleaner, sustainable future.
Brett, Steff, and I were impressed and noted the multitude of customization possibilities.
We’re excited-for consumers, for Los Angeles, and for the future of sustainability.
full disclosure: the writers of this post, the team of Forbes Legacy Ventures LLC-South Park Development Group, are developing a relationship with E Road to explore future business endeavors- for info: mcporter@flvllc.com or btomich@flvllc.com
salon eleven: moving up.
on the corner of hope and 11th, you’ll find salon eleven. they are currently in the process of re-vamping their look. so right now, outside the salon, you will see sleek, metal signage. you will also see a wooden v-sign on the sidewalk. they are a clear example of southparkla moving towards the right direction because they know the potential that their salon can be and all they really need are new graphics to support them.
i personally have gone in the salon a few times and can say that everyone there is friendly. they are always inviting people in, which shows how much they want to be a part of the southpark community and southpark welcomes them to their neighborhood.
