About cmc
California Market Center is the hub of the West Coast Fashion and Creative Industries, home to elevated Showrooms, Events, Creative Offices, and Businesses connecting the DTLA community.
Built in 1963 by the Morse family as the first wholesale fashion marketplace west of the Mississippi, “California Mart” quickly became the primary center for fashion business in Los Angeles. Now comprising three towers that span more than 1.8 million square feet, CMC has a proud history in the global fashion industry as the heartbeat of the Los Angeles Fashion District.
The iconic CMC property was acquired by Brookfield Properties in 2017 and entered an exciting 3-phase, $170-million redevelopment of its campus.
