September 18 2024 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
CMCT (NASDAQ: CMCT and TASE: CMCT) announced today that it has
completed the conversion of the top two floors of a three-story,
approximately 143,000-square-foot office building, at 4750 Wilshire
Blvd., into 68 luxury apartment residences in the prominent
Brookside neighborhood within the Park Mile Specific Plan of Los
Angeles. Leasing at the property has commenced.
Retaining approximately 30,000 square feet of ground floor
creative office space, which is 100 percent leased as-of September
2024, creates a stacked mixed-use office and residential
environment. The office space will maintain the address of 4750
Wilshire Blvd. while the apartments will have the address of 701 S.
Hudson Ave.
The beautifully appointed and spacious apartments at 701 Hudson
are configured as studio, one- and two-bedroom floorplans with many
residences offering a den that can function as a home office or
additional living space. With 10-foot ceilings and a substantial
window line, the residences offer plentiful natural light and an
inviting open environment. Designed in a contemporary style, the
residences are fitted with modern fixtures and finishes such as
stone counters, wood flooring, sleek cabinetry and in-unit washer
and dryer.
Residents can enjoy an array of premier on-site amenities
including a resort-style pool, landscaped courtyard with outdoor
picnic and casual seating areas, a resident lounge with movie room
and game tables, children’s playroom, fitness and yoga rooms, and a
co-working space complete with both communal worktables and
enclosed offices.
The apartments and office space are just one mile from the La
Brea station of the D Line subway, currently under construction,
which will connect downtown to the westside. The Mid-Wilshire
property is centrally located to area business hubs including
Downtown Los Angeles, Century City, Beverly Hills and Hollywood.
Further, the property is convenient to popular retail and dining
districts such as Koreatown, Larchmont Village, the La Brea
corridor and The Grove.
CMCT’s conversion of 4750 Wilshire aligns with its strategy to
invest in premier apartments and creative office space in high
barrier to entry markets. As part of CMCT’s asset-light development
approach, the company makes property-level equity investments
alongside co-investors. Kanden Realty & Development, Taisei
Corporation and a third institutional investor are co-investors in
4750 Wilshire.

thereby. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the
use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,”

Such forward-looking statements include, among others, statements
about CMCT’s plans and objectives relating to the proposed

management of CMCT has made in light of its experience, as well as
its perception of expected future developments and other factors
that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances.
Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the
judgment of CMCT’s management and involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks
and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the timing,
