The developers have submitted updated proposals for the office campus, envisioning it as a potential headquarters for either an entertainment or technology company.
The proposed $1 billion high-rise on Sunset Boulevard, known as the Star, is undergoing a significant transformation. The real estate development firm overseeing the project has submitted revised plans for the 22-story office tower. The updated design features a striking spiral architecture, providing panoramic views of downtown Los Angeles, the iconic Hollywood sign, and the Pacific Ocean.
Additionally, each floor will boast lush garden terraces, starting from the street-level entrance and ascending to a rooftop restaurant.
The plans for the Star were conceived by Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, a renowned London-based architecture firm celebrated for its iconic structures worldwide. With notable projects including the Gherkin skyscraper in London, the JP Morgan Chase Headquarters Tower in New York, Apple Park, Hong Kong International Airport, and the Millau Viaduct in France, Foster + Partners brings a wealth of expertise to the development.
Foster said the office campus, which is situated on a on a two-acre lot at 6061 W. Sunset Boulevard, is a “true reflection of the workplace of the future, nurturing community, well-being and collaboration” meant to “encourage and enliven the city’s incredible creative industries.”
The location for the building sits across the street from the Old Warner Brothers Studios, now known as the Sunset Bronson Studios, and its 14-story office tower, which currently hosts Netflix. The former Television Center, which is undergoing a $600 million redevelopment and will be rebranded as Echelon Television Center, is also roughly a mile away.
“We have worked with leaders in the creative and tech industries to redefine The Star into a project that both fits perfectly into Hollywood’s urban fabric and captures the evolving workplace,” said The Star LLC chief executive Maggie Miracle. “The office space seamlessly moves from indoor to outdoor settings with extraordinary collaborative areas and tasteful settings that allow for contemplation and innovation.”
The innovative design of the Star is anticipated to draw interest from various industries, particularly entertainment and technology, potentially positioning it as an ideal headquarters location.
