When meat substitute company Beyond Meat signed a 12-year lease for 281K SF at Hackman Capital Partners’ 888 Douglas in January, it drew attention as the biggest LA-area deal since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. This month, L’Oréal USA signed on to open a second headquarters in over 100K SF at the same development.

Vella Group principal Zach Vella said his company, in partnership with London & Regional Properties Ltd., is moving forward with a project that will transform a property previously occupied by Boeing on Pacific Coast Highway into approximately 400K SF of Class-A creative office space.

Miami’s historically Black neighborhoods, including Little Haiti and Overtown, have largely been left out of the tourism boom for most of the city’s history. But in recent years, community leaders have made a concerted effort to change this.

Connie Kinnard, VP of multicultural tourism and development at the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, said the process of building these communities up for tourism began in 2014 when the department was founded. She took charge of the department in June 2015, and the first order of business became identifying which businesses and potential tourist attractions in these neighborhoods could be the biggest immediate tourist draws.

A pair of mid-century office buildings on Pacific Coast Highway in El Segundo is poised for a makeover.

The roughly 200,000-square-foot complex, located at 650-700 Pacific Coast Highway, was purchased by estate investment firm Vella Group in 2019 for the reported sum of $50.8 million. Aerospace giant Boeing occupied both buildings until the end of 2020.

Vella Group’s plans, according to an initial study published by the City of El Segundo, call for redeveloping a surface parking lot at the rear of the 7.3-acre property with a new seven-story, 122,000-square-foot building featuring nearly 71,000 square feet of office space and an attached 1,185-car parking garage.

Frank Gehry is designing an 80K SF, ground-up office space in El Segundo that is made to mimic the high, airy ceilings and industrial chic of a former warehouse.
