An initial study published by the City of Los Angeles sheds more light on plans for an expansion Sunset Las Palmas Studios in Hollywood.

The proposed project from  Hudson Pacific Properties - which would replace small office buildings, surface parking, and support buildings on a three-acre site at 6650 W. Romaine Street - calls for the construction of four new soundstages and a four-story, approximately 70,000 square-foot production support building with two levels of basement parking.

Gensler is designing the new buildings, which would range from 55 to 63 feet in height. The new support building would feature rainscreen panels, concrete walls, fixed windows, and a green roof, while soundstages would feature plaster walls and mechanical screens.

Pending the approval of a zone change and a general plan amendment, another other required entitlements, construction of the expansion is expected to commence in 2026 and be completed in 2028.

Hudson Pacific Properties, which bills itself as the largest independent owner and operator of soundstages in the United States, owns and operates a number of studio campuses in the Hollywood community. The company has previously added a pair of soundstages and a pair of 14-story office buildings to Sunset Bronson Studios campus, which is now home to Netflix, and has pursued a similar expansion of neighboring Sunset Gower Studios.

The developer acquired Sunset Las Palmas Studios for $200 million in 2017, and has added a 130,000-square-foot office building named Harlow to the site.

The new construction at Romaine Street would sit directly west of 959 Seward, a 250,000-square-foot office complex built on the former site of Consolidated Film Industries, and one block from a proposed 10-story, 136,000-square-foot office development at 1000 N. Seward Street.
