Since 1906, AC Martin’s offices have been in downtown Los Angeles. The first official office was at Second and Main Streets in the Higgins Building. In the late 1930’s, the firm moved to 333 S. Beaudry, designed by AC Martin. The firm was the first tenant in the AC Martin-designed Union Bank building at Fifth and Figueroa in 1966. In the mid-1980s, the firm moved into the renovated Fine Arts Building on Seventh Street; and in 2002 moved to 444 S. Flower, also designed by AC Martin.

AC Martin has a history of working in buildings the firm has designed. After 20+ years in our current location, 444 S. Flower Street in Downtown Los Angeles, we are moving to another of the 24 downtown Los Angeles buildings we designed. Before we reveal our next location, we reflect on AC Martin-designed landmarks in downtown L.A. and share some fun facts about the projects. Stay tuned for the revelation of our new home. We hope to see you there soon!

Teamwork, sustainability, and giving back to our community are values we celebrate at AC Martin. We joined our client Holland Partner Group at the Los Cerritos Wetlands, in Long Beach, to explore and restore the native flora and fauna located near the upcoming Marina Shores multifamily project. The group toured the wetlands to learn about the native plants, then worked together on a vegetative propagation project to help restore the wetlands.

The groundbreaking ceremony of a new multifamily mixed-use project designed for CIM Group took place at 3045 Crenshaw Blvd., in the historic West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles on June 30, 2023. The transit-oriented development, located near the Metro E line Expo/Crenshaw light rail station, will include 168 units with 40,000 square feet of ground floor retail. The development will replace the West Angeles Church; proceeds from the sale of the site have gone to the church and the construction of The Family Life Center adjacent to the church’s cathedral on Crenshaw.
