Long considered the land of planes, ports and plants, South Bay, spurred by a plethora of new projects, green buildings and redevelopments, is carving its own identity between the upscale entertainment sector of West Los Angeles and the upscale tourism sector of Orange County. Though some redevelopments and lifestyle centers are heading in the same "upscale" direction as their neighbors to the north and south, many areas in South Bay have transportation, trade and green building on their minds.

Regardless of what direction a specific area's headed, one thing's for sure: no South Bay area appears to be stagnant. Almost anywhere you look, for-sale, for-lease, redevelopment or demolition signs dot the landscape.
