Development in Hollywood is booming, with both new office and residential towers underway. That why we're rolling out the red carpet for Bisnow's The Future of Hollywood: A Development Blockbuster, Wednesday, April 29, at the W Hollywood Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, starting at 8am.
Among our panelists will be Kilroy Realty EVP David Simon, who tells us he expects to announce another high-profile tenant at the firm's massive Columbia Square. As you already know, it was a big coup when Viacom decided to consolidate the HQs of MTV, BET, Comedy Central, VH1 and TV Land in the mixed-use development at Sunset and Gower. And with Viacom's Paramount Pictures unit just down the street, David foresees potential synergies between the two. He also expects a lot of energy surrounding another key tenant, NeueHouse. The private membership workspace collective's 934k SF space will be a cultural hub for Hollywood when it opens in mid-summer.
Last week, they poured the 12th floor for Columbia Square's residential tower, which will be managed by The Kor Group. The luxury project, consisting of traditional rentals plus corporate extended-stay housing, is on track to open in Q1 next year. Nearby, Kilroy's 4.5-acre The Academy project, another media and entertainment environment, is going through the entitlement process with approvals expected by year-end. You won't want to miss David or our other A-list speakers, including Champion Real Estate's Bob Champion, Hudson Pacific's Chris Barton and JLL's Carl Muhlstein, as well as our keynoter: Hollywood Property Owners Alliance exec director Kerry Morrison. Bisnow's Future of Hollywood takes place April 29 at the W Hollywood starting at 8am. Sign up here.
