From Koreatown in LA to Adams Morgan in DC to downtown Austin, each property is architecturally interesting and chosen for its location in emerging neighborhoods in compelling cities.

The LINE properties are a collaboration of the best local and out-of-town talent in design, food and beverage, arts and culture.
