Kilroy Shares Plan for 475k sf Hollywood Creative Office Project

6/20/14

Kilroy Realty Corporation, the West LA-based office REIT, has unveiled its plans for its creative media, mixed-used office campus near the intersection of Sunset and Vine in Hollywood. The low-density project encompasses a full city block bounded by Vine St, DeLongpre Ave, Ivar Ave and Homewood Ave, and will contain 475k sf of rentable space.

Kilroy acquired the site from The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in the fourth quarter of 2013. Construction on the new project is expected to begin the first quarter of 2016.

Roughly 40 percent of the four-acre site will be dedicated to open space. The improvements will consist of three four-story cutting edge creative office buildings and a 23-story residential tower. Pulling the energy from nearby Sunset and Vine, the project will open up at Vine and DeLongpre, with a large public gathering area that will feature public art and the majority of the development’s 20k sf of street-level retail.

“Successful and responsible development is the intelligent response to the cries of the market,” said Kilroy Executive Vice President David Simon. “Hollywood has long suffered from the shortage of quality Class A office space, especially the highly functional and adaptive space that offers a unique sense of place and connection to the neighborhood. This lack of inventory contributed to many firms relocating to the Westside and elsewhere over the past decade. This project, and others like it, such as Columbia Square addresses that void and will be another contributing driver to the renewed interest and vigor we are now seeing in Hollywood.”

The largest of the three office buildings, which range in size from 76k sf – 100k sf, is inspired by the historic mid-century bow trussed buildings in demand by today’s creative office user. All three office structures are terraced to make a dramatic transition to the street and contribute to the human scale of the property. The buildings’ cascading design also allows Kilroy to offer tenants their own personal identity space, each with private entrance and outdoor meeting areas.

A 23-story residential tower anchors the northwest corner of the campus. The buildings are connected by a series of landscaped passageways that run through the center of the campus.

“The overall design encourages the ‘creative collision’ of people, whether they are in their offices, on their private decks or the many other public landscaped outdoor spaces within the project,” said design architect Joey Shimoda of Shimoda Design Group. House Robertson is the executive architect. The office development will be built to meet LEED Gold certification.
