“We are excited to complete leasing at this high quality property in the heart of Beverly Hills with such a prestigious company,” said William McMorrow, CEO of Kennedy Wilson. “Our ability to acquire this property off-market and take it from fully vacant to fully leased once again demonstrates our focus on value-creation and converting non-income producing assets to positive cash flow for the company.”

The building is 100% owned by Kennedy Wilson and located across the street from the Kennedy Wilson corporate headquarters, and includes tenants such as Imagine Entertainment, Douglas Elliman, and Entertainment One.
