In addition to the five-story office space, now pre-leased to HBO, the transit-oriented development will include a 148-room hotel, 50k sf of retail space, 200 residential rental units and 1,500 parking spaces. About 300 of the spaces will be set aside for Metro Expo Line riders, as the development sits on what was previously a surface parking lot for the downtown Culver City Metro Expo station,
The downtown Culver City area is undergoing a renaissance that is bringing in a number of major tech/entertainment firms. Amazon agreed to occupy the historic Culver Studios campus and has now also committed to take 75k sf of space at the adjacent Culver Steps project, both owned by Hackman Capital and situated just a couple of blocks from the Ivy Station development. Apple has also leased over 100k sf in the area and, in another recent transaction, Google has committed to lease the former Westside Pavilion property a few miles away at Pico and Overland, which is being converted from retail to creative office space.
Matthew Hargrove with CBRE represented HBO in their lease. Jeff Pion, alsow with CBRE, repped the ownership side of the transaction.
