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. As part of the redevelopment, the joint venture plans to preserve several of the facility’s buildings that were originally constructed at the height of Technicolor’s success. New production facilities will be meshed with reimagined office space, and the facility will be rebranded as Echelon Television Center. More specifically, the original art deco facade on the northern block will enclose a studio lot. This space will be bookended by a new mid-rise creative office building with private outdoor terraces framing views of the Hollywood Hills. The new construction will also replace a …

JLL Webinar Speakers Detail Construction Challenges and How to Mitigate Them

by Jeff Shaw

CHICAGO — Despite economic pressures such as inflation, supply chain issues and workforce shortages, the construction industry continues to experience strong demand. Andrew Volz, construction research lead at JLL, estimates that several areas of real estate development are going to see sizable increases in economic activity. “There’s demand for product across a range of sectors, and there’s a need for a renewed, reimagined built environment coming out of COVID,” said Volz. “We’re seeing that strong momentum going into any sort of economic crisis that may be coming.” Volz made the comments during a Sept. 27 Construction Outlook webinar from Chicago-based JLL. Volz additionally emphasized the importance of infrastructure investments, which have a notable impact on the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). He estimates that for every dollar spent on infrastructure, the GDP will increase by $1.60 to $1.80. Infrastructure investments also create viable spaces for new investment by creating new access and supplying necessary support structures for businesses. “We are in a wide reshuffling of demographics and population, as well as the built environment,” he explained. “Infrastructure creates new priorities and allows new opportunities to emerge.” The risks of high demand Julie Hyson, managing director of project and development services at …
