Netflix set to double its L.A.-area office space with move to Hollywood

The Los Gatos, Calif., company will move its SoCal operations from Beverly Hills to the center of action in Hollywood by 2017. The video streaming service signed a long-term lease at 14-story Icon Building at Sunset Bronson Studios, a deal The Times reported last month was in the works.

The marquee high-rise office tower is under constuction on the studio lot on Sunset Boulevard. Netflix is expected to occupy just over 200,000 square feet — the deal, according to the companies, is the largest office lease signed in Hollywood in terms of square feet. And it doubles its L.A.-area office space.

Big Chinese developer plans apartment-and-retail complex in Hollywood

One of China's largest developers plans to build a $125-million apartment and shopping complex in Hollywood — marking the expansion of mainland Chinese builders in the Los Angeles area beyond downtown and Beverly Hills.

Gemdale Corp., which has constructed some of the largest residential communities in China over the last two decades, has formed a partnership with LaTerra Development of Los Angeles to erect a six-story residential and retail complex on Western Avenue near Sunset Boulevard.

Gemdale, based on the mainland in Shenzhen, is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange and has built more than 30,000 condominiums in 25 Chinese cities in 2013 alone, the company said.

Its move into Hollywood comes after other large Chinese developers, including Greenland Group, Oceanwide Real Estate Group and Shenzhen Hazens Real Estate Group Co., have started work on billions of dollars worth of new condominium, hotel and retail projects near Staples Center.

Wanda Group, another Chinese firm, is set to build a $1-billion condominium and hotel complex in Beverly Hills on the former site of a Robinsons-May department store on Wilshire Boulevard.

Construction should start on the garage by the end of this year, he said, and the entire project should be finished by early 2018. An outstanding question is the exact number of units. The plan is to build as many as 254, more than typically would be allowed on the property, by setting aside 21 apartments for "very low-income" residents, Tourtellotte said. Developers can be rewarded when they include affordable housing in a project.

Trimmed down tower on Sunset in Hollywood inches toward approval

The latest project from Hudson Pacific Properties is a 15-story office building on Sunset Boulevard at Bronson Avenue just west of the 101 freeway in Hollywood, and it’s moving to the City Council for final approval Wednesday after clearing the planning and land use committee this week.

The tower was proposed as 18 stories, but neighbors complained about the size, so Hudson chopped it to 15 by eliminating some parking. At that height, it would reach 240 feet. The building would go up on a 1.55-acre parking lot, abutting some two-story, Spanish-style bungalows, and it would have 26,000 square feet of retail on the ground level.

A rendering shows above-ground parking topped with offices. The office floors have varying heights and widths, a glassy facade and quite a bit of greenery.
