Hudson Pacific announces completion of new Netflix building on Sunset
Quote:
The real estate company is ready to hand the baton to its tenant, Netflix.
Epic features numerous exterior terraces, fire pits, and a rooftop deck. The building is also equipped with “solar energy-generating technology” on its facade, allowing it to use its walls to capture and convert sunlight into electricity, says a rep for Hudson.
Netflix is expected to begin working on the Gensler-designed building’s interiors “soon.” The streaming media giant plans to move into the building in phases, starting early next year.
I remember when they demo’d the building that had been there before back in ‘09 but quickly paved it over into a parking lot instead of beginning construction on the previous iteration. Glad to see something finally happening there.
Then we were teased with that green construction fence for years
Its amazing how fast these buildings move once they get past the underground parking/podiums.
This is exactly why zoning laws that mandate a minimum number of parking spaces lead to less affordable housing. There is significant engineering and construction required for below-ground parking.
No pictures yet as I was driving by racing to my next meeting, but the site for the Martin Expo Town Center at Olympic and Bundy (one block north of the Bundy Expo Line station) has been fenced off with W. E. O'Neil signage, some very light demo on the existing buildings has begun (removing a few of the mansard roof panels), and I spied a couple of people in orange vests and hart hats touring the site. No heavy equipment yet, but it looks like this one is gearing up to start. This is great news, potentially, as it adds just over 500 residential units, including 100 affordable units within close proximity of transit. More of this, please!
Walked by the new Jack in the Box on Vine and Santa Monica and signage is up and it looks like itll be open fairly soon. They should be starting demo at the othe restaurant as soon as that happens fingers crossed.
This looks great! And right around the corner from the condo tower going up on Wilshire.

Major upgrade from the old Big 5 site. And just up the street on San Vicente are the proposed Loehman's tower and the church tower.
And a short walk to the u/c Wilshire / La Cienega metro station. I only wish they would go up another 7-10 floors to give this a more "flat-iron" style slenderness.
