Second St., the eight-story Brunswig Square features 110,000 square feet of high-quality office space atop 30,000 square feet of prime ground-floor retail and sits right in the middle of what is an emerging hub for technology and creative industries.<\/p>\n<p>Downtown Los Angeles continues to emerge as a creative office hub, attracting leading companies including Gensler, Hyperloop, Nasty Gal, NationBuilder and WeWork, as well as an ever-increasing number of start-ups.<\/p>\n<p>According to Colliers International\u2019s most recent Los Angeles Office Market Report, the Downtown Los Angeles market had a strong second quarter in 2015 with solid leasing activity totaling 793,207 square feet, making it the second straight quarter of activity in excess of 750,000 square feet.<\/p>\n<p>Originally built in 1931, the building was designed by local architects AC Martin as the home for the Brunswig Drug Co., one of the foremost innovators in the wholesale pharmaceuticals business.<\/p>\n<p>According to Phillips, Jamestown will preserve the historic character of the former factory and headquarters, which was last updated in 1986 before new renovations began last year.<\/p>\n<p>The previous owners began renovations on the property last year, and ongoing renovations include converting traditional office space to premium creative office space with 14\u2019-17\u2019 ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and expansive skyline views, creating inspiring outdoor gathering spaces and designing retail experiences to serve the building\u2019s tenants and surrounding neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Polster at Westmac represented the sellers in the transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/property-types\/office\/jamestown-invests-in-metro-dc\/1004128344.html\">the Jamestown Premier Property Fund acquired Stafford Place I<\/a>, a 12-story, 587,036-square-foot Class A office building in the Ballston neighborhood of Arlington, Va., for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The national investment firm has struck again, this time in downtown L.A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":451,"featured_media":1004128438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21783,21742,21747,21749,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004128436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-investment","category-latest","category-office","category-retail","category-west"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
