by Taylor Williams

LOS ANGELES — A joint venture between two developers, locally based firm BARDAS Investment Group and Boston-based Bain Capital Real Estate, has unveiled plans for the $600 million redevelopment of a former TV studio at 6311 Romaine St. in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The facility, which currently spans 6.4 acres and two full city blocks, was originally constructed in phases between 1930 and 1966. Over the years, the site, which currently features 183,000 square feet of creative office and studio space, has housed the headquarters operations of Technicolor and Metro Pictures Corp. The redevelopment would convert the facility into an urban studio campus totaling 620,000 square feet.
