• Ladera Heights homeowner says burglars hit her home twice this year (newsbreak.com) — Residents near Marina del Rey, especially in Ladera Heights, are seeing residential burglaries more than double this summer, prompting the LA County Sheriff's Marina del Rey Station to boost patrols, use decoy vehicles, and coordinate specialized units. A homeowner hit twice this year describes feeling unsafe and neglected, while officials urge neighbors to share security footage, strengthen home protections, and build active neighborhood watch networks.
   

• LA County Office Leasing Reaches Highest Level Since 2019, Savills Reports (newsbreak.com) — Office leasing around Marina del Rey is part of a broader LA County rebound, with Pepperdine University renewing a large lease nearby as overall county leasing hits its strongest quarter since 2019. Still, much of the activity comes from tenants renewing rather than expanding, and several creative-heavy submarkets remain stuck with very high vacancy, keeping leverage in many areas with renters and cautious investors.
