Third Street Promenade
Third Street Promenade is one of Los Angeles’ most famous destinations. Known for its open-air shopping, eclectic street performers, vibrant restaurants, and the best people-watching, The Promenade is also a growing hub for businesses. While every organization looks for ways to support work-life balance, The Promenade seamlessly blends your personal and professional life. In between meetings on your roof-top deck, you can grab a last-minute birthday present, pick up fresh produce during the Farmers’ Market, or run to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Then, simply walk out the door to switch from workday to date night.
