Kevin Ratner Downtown Quotations

I like Downtown and would like to build more Downtown. But a lot of it depends on the economy. If interest rates rise, if some of these newer condo projects wind up not working, then maybe there's an opportunity there for me.

We've been working in Downtown for over 35 years. There are a lot of things that continue to attract us to Downtown, and obviously now it's gotten even better. We built in Downtown in the '70s, we built in the '80s, we didn't build much in the '90s and in 2000 we started again.

There's not a ton of new housing going up, and there are a lot of people who like the Downtown experience, who like high-rise living. And unless you go to the Wilshire Corridor there's not a lot of places to buy. It's becoming a real neighborhood.
