After two decades in a 52-story downtown tower, the global law firm Goodwin has announced a relocation to LA\u2019s Arts District. This move from a traditional high-rise workspace to a low-rise, industrial-style environment highlights evolving preferences for office space in Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The firm is moving approximately two miles from its current 30,400-square-foot footprint at 601 S. Figueroa St. \u2014 owned by Uncommon Developers \u2014 to a 29,000-square-foot campus at 555 Mateo St.<\/p>\n

The new location, known as At Mateo, is owned by ASB Real Estate Investments and currently counts Spotify as a tenant. More than 75 lawyers will eventually occupy Goodwin\u2019s second-floor office space. While specific lease terms were not disclosed, the move signifies a broader shift toward the Arts District, which has matured in the last 15 years as an affordable alternative for growing businesses, similar to Southern California\u2019s Westside or Silicon Beach markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur move to At Mateo reflects our long-term commitment to Los Angeles and our broader strategy to be deeply immersed in the industries we serve,\u201d\u00a0said David Pendergast, chair of Goodwin\u2019s Los Angeles office and a partner at the firm. \u201cSouthern California has become a powerful innovation corridor spanning Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Orange County and San Diego. From\u00a0aerospace, space, and defense\u00a0to life sciences, SaaS and consumer products, this region is driving transformative growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Law firms continue to be a primary catalyst for office activity<\/a>, accounting for more than 10% of all U.S. office leasing last year, and this trend remains robust across southern California in 2026. In addition to the Mateo Street deal, Goodwin recently announced a new office in Newport Beach, Calif., as well as plans to open a San Diego location this summer. Other recent legal sector activity in downtown LA includes Wilson Elser\u2019s 25,000-square-foot lease at the U.S. Bank Tower and Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani\u2019s 26,000-square-foot relocation to 1 Cal Plaza.<\/p>\n

The Goodwin lease for At Mateo was facilitated by Pete Collins and Mike Condon of Cushman & Wakefield, who represented the landlord, ASB Real Estate. Mike Catalano and Steve Barker of Savills represented the law firm in the transaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
