The complex at 2445-2560 E. 12th Street is 94 percent leased to textile manufacturers and clothing retailers, including styling firm DailyLook and online clothing wholesaler 2NE1 Apparel.

Chicago-based Bridge bought the industrial park for $68 million from Atlas Capital Group in 2019, records show. Bridge recently signed five tenants to the building in the last six months.

The Arts District has had a flurry of investment activity and plans in the last few months. SteelWave paid $80 million for a creative office complex in May and Continuum Partners proposed a $2 billion mixed-use development with 1,500 residential units and a hotel.
