About
Downtown Burbank is a vibrant, mixed-use urban neighborhood home to more than 600 shops, restaurants, and local businesses. Located in the heart of the entertainment industry, the district is known for its lively street culture, walkable layout, outdoor dining, and dynamic mix of retail, dining, and entertainment.
Our Partnership
The Downtown Burbank Partnership is the nonprofit organization that manages and supports the Downtown Burbank Property-Based Business Improvement District (PBID). Established in 2003 as part of the City of Burbank’s downtown revitalization efforts, the PBID works in collaboration with property owners and local stakeholders to enhance the economic vitality, appearance, and overall experience of Downtown Burbank.
The PBID was renewed in 2018 for a ten-year term beginning January 1, 2019. Its mission is to fund and manage programs that increase visitation, support businesses, improve public spaces, and create a thriving, walkable urban district.
Partnership Goals
The Downtown Burbank Partnership is focused on:
- Preserving and enhancing downtown aesthetics through capital infrastructure improvements
- Increasing district maintenance, including regular power washing and cleanliness efforts
- Creating marketing campaigns, promotions, and events that drive foot traffic and merchant sales
- Supporting leasing efforts to maintain low vacancy rates and a healthy retail mix
- Strengthening Downtown Burbank as a livable, walkable, and community-centered neighborhood
