Along with the acquisition announcement Monday, Gaw and DJM officials said the JV plans to renovate the property that sits on 7.6-acres on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue starting next year.

A spokeswoman for the JV told Bisnow that a representative had no comment on the sale or renovations beyond what was mentioned in the news release.

Built in 2001, Hollywood & Highland sits adjacent the TCL Chinese Theatre and along the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In a news release, the JV said it was attracted to the property due to the high volume of visitors. Though plans were vague, the JV said it plans to upgrade the retail portion of the center and upgrade the common areas with more gathering and programming spaces.
