Taking Horace Greeley’s century-old advice “To go west” for new opportunities and success, a good chunk of the business community has done exactly that.

Hundreds of lawyers and CPAs and a similarly large number of entertainment industry-oriented firms now inhabit Century City, the western sectors of Wilshire and Olympic Boulevards, and the seashore-kissed Santa Monica.

Various retail establishments, restaurants, and other entertainment venues also occupy this upscale territory.

As a result of the increasingly time-intensive commute from these areas to more eastern office locations, more and more business people who live on the Westside will be moving their firms west as well.

Long active in the Westside market, Ramsey-Shilling has represented a multitude of entertainment and professional companies.
