Watts is also continuing with its spec suites program, an open concept plan for creative companies, with five new additions ranging from 2,800 to 4,100 square feet.

“We are seeing many tenants who prefer the turn-key experience, which explains the success of our growing spec suite program,” Jamie Bergantz, director of leasing at Watt Plaza, said in a statement. “Many L.A.-based companies have gravitated toward creative office space in recent years.”
