What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The city council approved a development agreement for a 1,000-square-foot digital display on the Junipher Building in Santa Monica. The agreement also permits a reconstructed blade sign, modeled on a 1936 Kress department store sign, to be used solely for tenant identification. The building has been vacant since Gap Inc. moved out in 2020.
