Hudson Pacific Properties just broke ground on ICON, a $200 mil, creative office tower project located on the 10.6-acre Sunset Bronson Studios lot on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. The entire development is slated to contain a 14-story, 323k sf office tower, a six-story, 90k sf adjacent creative office building, and a 1,600-stall parking structure.
Gensler Architects designed the project, which features a one-of-a-kind staggered, tiered structure, 25k sf floor plates with 45-foot column-free spans, floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views, terraced balconies on multiple floors, and ample on-site amenities, all built to LEED Gold certification standards. McCarthy is the general contractor for the project, which is slated for completion in late 2016.
Hudson purchased Sunset Bronson in 2008. In recent months, the company has undertaken several capital improvement projects, including renovation and return of the former KFWB radio tower to its original location on the lot and restoration of the historic Warner Brothers office building, as well as comprehensive signage, landscaping and façade improvements. These efforts have allowed Hudson to retain more traditional media companies, such as KTLA, which has been headquartered on the lot for nearly 60 years and recently extended its lease through 2030, and attract top networks like HBO, CBS and FreemantleMedia.
“ICON will be the culmination of our efforts to transform the landmark Sunset Bronson Studios into the country’s premier next-generation media and entertainment campus,” said Victor J. Coleman, the Company’s Chairman and CEO. “The project affords industry leading companies a unique opportunity to have it all – innovative architecture, sustainable design and immediate access to top-of-the-line sound stages and production facilities at the center of the world’s entertainment capital.”
At the time of a groundbreaking event last week, construction on the parking structure, which will accommodate Sunset Bronson’s new and existing tenancy, was approximately 40 percent complete. According to LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, the project alone will create 520 construction jobs for the city.
