Architect Frank Gehry to Move Studio to El Segundo
World-Renowned Architect's Team to Occupy 75,000 Square Feet
EL SEGUNDO, CA -(November 03, 2008) - Frank Gehry and the 160
professionals of the world-renowned architectural firm Gehry Partners, LLP
will relocate to this coastal California community in early 2009, occupying
75,000 square feet in a campus being developed by NSB Associates Inc.,
announced Lawrence N. Field, Chairman and CEO of NSB.
Gehry Partners is currently developing the master plan for the campus, said
Mr. Field, and will add 15,000 square feet of space to the 60,000 square
feet of existing structures. Occupancy is expected in the first or second
quarter of 2009. The property is located between Utah Avenue and Alaska
Avenue, near Aviation Boulevard.
Because of continuing growth in demand for its services, Gehry Partners has
outgrown its 44,000 square foot studio space on Beatrice Street in West Los
Angeles, which was also developed in partnership with NSB Associates.
The El Segundo property that will be the new home of Gehry Partners
includes a total of 154,000 square feet of land, providing ample parking
and potential for future expansion, said Mr. Field. The warehouse-style
structures were built in the 1960s, and have 20-foot ceilings.
Harvey Beesen and Luke Staubitz of The Klabin Company represented the
buyers in the acquisition of the property, working with Kevin Mansfield,
NSB's Vice President for Acquisitions.
Mr. Field noted that El Segundo, once known as a center of aviation and
aerospace manufacturing, has emerged in recent years as a highly desirable
location for creative, technology and new media companies.
A coastal community situated just south of Los Angeles International
Airport, El Segundo has a population of 16,000 in its five square miles. In
addition to several of the world's largest defense firms and the Los
Angeles Air Force Base and, the city is home to more than a dozen Fortune
500 companies in industries ranging from information technology to
entertainment.
