A proposed production campus in Baldwin Hills has been given the go-ahead from the Los Angeles City Planning Commission.
4S Bay Partners can move forward on its Stocker Street Creative endeavor at 3701 West Stocker Street, Urbanize Los Angeles reported.
Project plans call for the construction of six new buildings boasting 256,750 square feet of production, office and restaurant space, as well as a community room and parking for 344 vehicles. The JGM-designed development would include structures up to 110 feet tall, according to Urbanize.
Building A, slated to rise three stories at the corner of Santa Rosalia Boulevard and Stocker Street, would span 34,700 square feet and have offices, a food court and retail space. A handful of fast-casual restaurants would take up 11,500 square feet of ground-floor space, while offices would take up about 24,000 square feet on the second and third floors. The 132,200-square-foot Building B, located across a 31,000-square-foot landscaped central plaza, would consist of 44,400 square feet of studio production support, 88,800 square feet of leasable office space and a 9,000-square-foot rooftop restaurant and garden.
Building D would rise 57 feet and include 30,000 square feet of sound stages. Building E would be the same height and have 19,200 square feet of sound stages and a combined 13,000 square feet between mezzanine and underground levels. Building F, attached to Building E, would be five stories tall with parking for cars and bicycles and a 3,000-square-foot community room on the ground floor.
Construction on the Stocker Street Creative complex would take nearly three years, according to an environmental report from the Department of City Planning last fall that pegged groundbreaking in July of this year and completion by May 2029.
If it receives final approval from city officials, Stocker Street Creative would join two other large commercial developments that are in development nearby. Harridge Development Group has been approved to add more than 900 residences, a hotel and more commercial space to the 42-acre Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza mall, while Hudson Pacific Properties is gearing up to build about 300,000 square feet of offices across from the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza mall at the former Marlton Square site.
