History

Sentous Packing Co. 1906

La Cienega/Jefferson station was once named Sentous station when it was on the Air Line. The Louis Sentous meat packing facility was nearby; they used the Air Line to ship meat to downtown Los Angeles.[5] The Sentous Yard maintenance facility persisted long after the passenger station was gone; according to one history, it occupied "a portion of the right-of-way directly east of La Cienega, and spur tracks and sidings exist directly west of La Cienega".[6]

Originally a stop on the Los Angeles and Independence and Pacific Electric railroads, it closed on September 30, 1953, with the closure of the Santa Monica Air Line and remained out of service until re-opening on Saturday, April 28, 2012. It was completely rebuilt for the opening of the Expo Line from little more than a station stop marker. Regular scheduled service resumed Monday, April 30, 2012.

Development of surrounding area

Los Angeles architect Eric Owen Moss proposed a 17-story glass ribbon office tower with underground parking within steps of this station. The tower began preparation in late 2018.[7][8]

Condominiums and retail across from the station is currently under construction. It will be built by the Carmel Partners firm.[8][9]
