Leaving DTLA almost always means a high-rise — loading docks, freight-elevator windows and building COIs we line up in advance. Arriving in Glendale means family homes and Brand-corridor buildings, with hillside addresses planned for the slope. Because the two are close, the drive — billed as double drive time under California's CPUC rules — stays short, which keeps your total low.
