The most recent sale was for a nearly 2,000 square foot unit for $960,000. Romick and Casamassima represented the buyer, a private owner user in the fashion industry.

"Many businesses have been moving out of large multi-tenant buildings to smaller self-contained and controlled, private buildings for their own use. Additionally, with low SBA rates and attractive terms, partially due to the CARES Act, buying a building is relatively easy," said Scott Romick.

"Production studios are in demand in Los Angeles but so are the multimedia office complexes nearby. 3450 West is in a prime location as the campus lies at the crossroads between the East Valley Media and Entertainment area and Hollywood, central to all of the main Film and TV studios, new and old mediums," said Darren Casamassima. "We're very close to some of the many studio and production-focused office developments in the works around Los Angeles. Many have been fueled by the rise in original content on streaming platforms from Amazon, Netflix, Apple and Disney. Work is underway on NBC Universal's 400,000-square-foot office campus at the Universal Studios backlot in Universal City which is just around the corner."
