desirable precincts, such as the Blackwelder Complex, Hayden Tract, as well as the West

Washington and West Adams Neighborhoods. A few ongoing projects in Culver City

energy and collaborative spirit of its cutting-edge inhabitants by providing two distinct

office environments., the “brick” and the “machine".
