Destination Crenshaw is the largest Black-focused public art program in the United States. The 1.3-mile outdoor museum runs parallel to the Metro K Line and was conceived as a community response to Metro's decision to run light rail at street level through the heart of Black LA.
The unifying design concept, "Grow Where You're Planted," is inspired by African giant star grass — used as bedding on slave ships yet thriving in foreign soils — a metaphor for Black resilience. The project has raised over $72 million and is backed by Metro, the Getty Foundation, and the Sankofa Circle led by Issa Rae and DeMar DeRozen.

Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza & Leimert Park Village
Leimert Park Village
Leimert Park Village continues to be positioned as the cultural heart of Black Los Angeles, linked to the Metro K Line and Destination Crenshaw. The 20/20 Vision Initiative aims to brand Leimert Park as a hub for Black creatives and protect its cultural identity amid transit-oriented development pressure.
Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza Master Plan
The 42-acre property has been entitled for a massive mixed-use transformation: ~961 residential units, 400 hotel rooms, 331,800 SF retail/restaurant, and 143,000 SF office. Acquired for $111 million in 2021; estimated $1 billion total investment. A Black-owned coalition, Downtown Crenshaw Rising, submitted a higher bid of $115 million but was not selected — a significant community controversy that remains unresolved.

Crenshaw District
PCR Business Finance — New Crenshaw HQ
Project Details
- Location: 3804 W. Slauson Avenue, Crenshaw District
- Founded: 1977 (approaching 50th anniversary in 2027)
- Leadership: Mark Robertson, Sr. (President & CEO), Collette Moore (Executive Director)
- Groundbreaking: June 20, 2025
- Capital Campaign: $4.5 million "50th Anniversary Capital Campaign"
- Status: Under construction
PCR Business Finance's new headquarters is a critical economic development anchor for the Crenshaw corridor. For over 15 years, the district lacked a true business incubator. PCR's move from Koreatown to Slauson Avenue embeds lending, training, and advisory services directly in the community. CEO Mark Robertson grew up in the area, attending 54th Street Elementary School.
PCR's Metro Business Interruption Fund has distributed nearly $45.5 million in grants to ~500 small businesses affected by Metro construction along the corridor. Services include small business lending, SBDC advising, disaster bridge loans, and entrepreneurial training.
