Work has been completed on a new, 36.7k sf creative office building in downtown Santa Monica. The project, located at 1550 Euclid St, was built by C.W. Driver Companies on behalf of Friedkin Group, who acquired the land in 2018. Belzberg Architects designed the project.
The mixed-use retail and office building is located five minutes walking distance from the Metro Expo Line light rail train. The three-story, steel-frame structure is split into two wings by a U-shaped footprint above the ground level that centers around an exposed courtyard on the second floor. Stunning floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the building’s exterior, making it a focal point in Silicon Beach, the creative tech capital of Southern California.
The first floor consists of 4.1k sf of street-facing retail and 9.8k sf of creative business and professional office space. The second floor houses an additional 12.3k sf of creative business and professional office space, along with a fully functioning kitchen and an outdoor terrace. The third floor includes 9.7k sf additional sf of office space and a screening room. The building also includes three levels of subterranean parking with 90 parking spaces and 23 custom bike racks for long-term storage in the lobby.
Located just west of Metro's 17th Street/Santa Monica College Station, the Euclid creative office building is easily accessible for employees and customers commuting by public transportation. The building includes solar panels that provide power to future tenant spaces and equipment. Additional energy-efficient and sustainable elements include EV chargers for electric vehicles and drought-resistant landscaping.
“This forward-thinking creative office space was built with sustainability and wellness in mind to match the professional needs of Southern California tech employees and enhance the pedestrian-friendly corridor with additional retail,” said Judd Reas, project executive at C.W. Driver Companies.
