Black Community Thwarts Second Attempt by Connected Developer to Buy the Crenshaw Mall Details SOUTH LOS ANGELES-For the second time in seventh months, the Black community has beaten back efforts to purchase the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza by developers connected to Donald Trump’s family members. Downtown Crenshaw, an effort that combines community action and community development has defeated LivWrk-DFH Partners, which sought to buy the iconic Black commercial center of Los Angeles. Downtown Crenshaw pressured CIM Group to back out of their agreement to purchase the mall in June. Both LivWrk and CIM Group came under heavy scrutiny for their close connection to Donald Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
