LOS ANGELES — Joint venture partners Hankey Investment Co. and Barker Pacific Group have acquired Sunset Media Center, a 22-story creative office tower in Hollywood’s Media Row, from Kilroy Realty for $61 million.
Located at 6255 W. Sunset Blvd., Sunset Media Center features 325,995 square feet of Class A office space with unobstructed view corridors and average floor plates of 18,500 square feet. At the time of sale, the property was 51 percent occupied. Current tenants include Media Res, Magical Elves, The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Slickdeals, OpenTable and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
Built in 1974, Sunset Media Center underwent an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation in 2014 by architect Gensler and features an updated lobby space, onsite visitor parking, redefined common areas, a sun-drenched outdoor plaza with neighborhood retail hot spot and access to major entertainment studios and media professionals.
The new ownership has retained JLL’s Dana Vargas and Peter Hajimihalis to handle leasing efforts for the property. Michael Kathrein, Adam Edwards, Sam Baughman and Blake Stamato of Eastdil Secured represented the seller in the deal.
