Building description
An absolute trophy property on Santa Monica’s historic Gold Coast, re-envisioned as the ultimate creative live/work masterpiece.
Boasting an unparalleled scale and vertical volume that literally cannot be replicated under current zoning laws, this architectural marvel offers an inspiring environment where world-class production meets private oceanfront living. Sweeping, unobstructed views stretch from the Santa Monica Pier to Malibu's Point Dume, serving as a daily canvas for creative inspiration.
Building highlights
- The Statement Entrance: A spectacular five-story grand atrium foyer features an iconic architectural staircase and a central elevator, offering a dramatic, gallery-like impression for arriving clients, talent, or collaborators.
- The Ground-Floor Production Suite: Positioned perfectly for operational autonomy, the entry level hosts two expansive creative studios/offices with an adjacent anteroom, bathroom, and a dedicated separate entrance. This layout is ideal for client meetings, post-production suites, a private agency wing, or an independent workspace without intersecting the residential quarters.
- The Upper-Level Think Tank: The upper floors transition into a collaborative and residential oasis. Features a vast oceanfront main studio/living area with a private balcony, a secondary media lounge, and a panoramic "cook’s kitchen" designed to anchor team brainstorming or high-end catering.
- The Executive Retreats: Three distinct bedroom suites—including a massive primary oceanfront retreat with a private balcony—provide luxurious accommodations for principal creators or bi-coastal executives.
- The Roof-Deck Sky Lounge: A massive rooftop deck overlooks the Pacific, offering an elite backdrop for launch parties, networking mixers, or sunset client entertainment.
Functional Infrastructure & Access
- Flex Space: Includes a large laundry/utility hub and a bonus flex room, perfect for physical inventory, equipment storage, or a dedicated server room.
- Parking: Attached two-car garage provides secure, direct-access parking.
- The Location Advantage: Direct access to the newly renovated beach path for mid-day creative breaks. Steps from the Arizona Ave. pedestrian overpass, unlocking immediate access to downtown Santa Monica’s premium dining, retail, and tech/entertainment culture.
