LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE:HPP) has completed the $46 million
acquisition of 10950 Washington Blvd. in Culver City, Calif. from an
affiliate of Embarcadero Capital Partners LLC. Located in one of West
Los Angeles’ premier entertainment business districts, the
158,873-square-foot office property is 99.5 percent leased, with an
average lease term of five years. The $46 million acquisition includes
the assumption of an existing $30 million loan.
Set on 5.5 acres, the property consists of an 86,987-square-foot,
three-story office building and a 71,886-square-foot building containing
office space, two sound stages and a café. NFL Enterprises is a major
tenant occupying 95,570 square feet consisting of office space and the
two sound stages used exclusively to broadcast the company’s NFL Network.
“Our team has worked extensively as an owner and operator of premier
office properties in the Los Angeles area, and the region is one of our
top targets for continued expansion. We have considerable experience
with media companies, such as NFL Enterprises, and tailor our property
operations to meet their specific needs. This acquisition is an ideal
fit as we grow our portfolio of top-quality office properties in the
greater Los Angeles area and continue to build our position as an owner
and operator of assets with strong interest from media, entertainment
and technology tenants,” said Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties.
Bob Safai of Madison Partners advised Hudson Pacific Properties on this
transaction, which was completed directly with the seller.
The acquisition is Hudson Pacific’s third in this market since going
public in June, bringing the company’s Los Angeles area portfolio to
approximately 1.5 million square feet. In August, it acquired both the
six-story, 58,484-square-foot 9300 Wilshire office building in Beverly
Hills, Calif. and the five-story, 113,000-square-foot Del Amo Office
building in Torrance, Calif.
