The Shammas Group consists of seven automobile dealerships, an auto insurance company, and commercial and mixed-use properties primarily located along the Figueroa Corridor in the southern portion of Downtown L.A. Focusing its business strategy on the people who live or commute to work in Downtown Los Angeles, the Shammas Group also actively contributes to the revitalization of the district. It is involved in the Figueroa Corridor Business Improvement District, the Central City Association, and the Community Redevelopment Agency’s Strategic Plan for the Corridor. The Shammas Group understands that public perception is the key to the success of a city and a business. By linking its future to that of Downtown Los Angeles, the Shammas Group has made a significant investment in its surrounding neighborhood. Figueroa Street links Downtown, LA Live, and the Convention Center to the USC campus and the museums in Exposition Park. With these institutions and the many automobile businesses on Figueroa Street, the Shammas Group is engaged in an active partnership to reinvigorate an area which has extraordinary potential to serve a vast population of residents, employees, shoppers, visitors and tourists.
