Special Report: Coworking
Competition is heating up among coworking operators. As established players add locations and new providers set up shop, some shared office companies are working to distinguish their brands by offering specialized amenities for specific industries or clientele. Some have added screening rooms and video-editing facilities to attract media and entertainment clients. A handful of providers are offering shared workspace for women only. And one new operator downtown is building a coworking location tailored specifically to cannabis companies.

Special Report: Real Estate Quarterly
Areas like Santa Monica and downtown have long been development hubs. In the last few years, Culver City has thrown its hat in the ring, attracting major companies like Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and Google. Now, the areas surrounding those hotspots are filling in - something developers and experts attribute in part to the extension of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Expo Line.
Special Report: Largest Public Companies
It's a wonderful world for Disney - but it's not quite as sunny for other L.A.-based businesses. The entertainment giant's gains helped drive up the market cap of L.A. County's publicly traded companies by 12% in the last 12 months, but the rest of the local market was shaky. Take a deeper look with the Business Journal's annual report on the area's largest public companies.
Special Report: Supplier Diversity
Ensuring contractor diversity on a major infrastructure project used to be straightforward: Set a goal for the percentage of work that goes to minority-owned or women-owned businesses then find those businesses to encourage them to bid. Now, though, achieving a diverse contract base is a much more roundabout process. Under state law passed in 1996, public agencies are prohibited from showing preferences based on ethnicity or gender in awarding contracts.
