Television-City

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles City Council approved plans for the $1 billion redevelopment of Television City studios at 7800 Beverly Blvd. on Tuesday, according to reports by the Los Angeles Times.  The landmark property was designed by architect William Pereira and developed in 1952. The studios have since been home to TV programs including “The Carol Burnett Show,” “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “Wheel of Fortune,” “Good Times” and “All in the Family.”  The redevelopment project is headed by Hackman Capital Partners, which acquired the property from CBS in 2018 for $750 million. Multiple plans for the site have been submitted over the course of the past two years due to pushback from the local community, according to the LA Times. Owners of nearby establishments including A.F. Gilmore Co. of the Original Farmers Market and Grove LLC — which owns The Grove shopping center developed by Rick Caruso — have sided with neighborhood groups against the project claiming it was too big and would make local traffic significantly worse, according to the newspaper.  In response to these requests, Hackman worked with the city council to produce the recently approved plans for the project, which include the removal of 15-story, 150,000-square-foot office tower …
