The building is unique in that it is 15 stories taller than any other building in a two-mile radius, giving it unobstructed views. With current zoning and building restrictions, there will unlikely be another similar tower built in the surrounding area.

Market Trends & Increased Demand For Creative Offices In West Los Angeles (Santa Monica, Playa Vista, Marina del Rey, etc)

Santa Monica is the first choice location for many large media and technology companies. With the increased growth in the technology and media industry, the high demand for nontraditional office space featuring modern architectural design has created a shortage of vacant office space in Santa Monica.

According to a recent LA Times article, direct vacancy in the Westside creative office market was 9.2%, the lowest level since the first quarter of 2009. Much of the growth is coming from established technology and digital media companies including Google, Apple, Pandora, and YouTube.

Santa Monica has become a technology hub, home to many of the world's biggest names such as Google and Yahoo. However, due to the lack of inventory, many new tech and media companies are expanding their office locations to the outskirts of Santa Monica which has helped push growth into nearby markets such as Playa Vista, Culver City, Marina del Rey, and Playa Del Rey.

Please feel free to contact me at (310) 717-1321 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com if you are interested in finding out more info about properties in any of these areas.

The Venice Beach Canals - Beautiful Waterfront Homes For Sale & For Lease, Tourist Attraction

Photo Credit: Rogerhoward at en.wikipedia

The Venice Canals of Venice, California were originally designed in 1904 by Abbot Kinney, an entrepreneur with a marketing vision to replicate the Venice Canals of Italy. He designed a series of 16 miles of manmade waterways on top of the existing wetlands to drain the area for a residential neighborhood and create a "Venice of America".

In 1924, most of the canals were filled because the city needed more roads. In that year, all but the remaining 6 canals that are left today were filled. Today, a few blocks of the canals still remain and you can walk along them in the area between the streets Washington, South Venice Blvd, Pacific Ave, and Ocean Ave. 

Some of West Los Angeles' most beautiful and luxurious multi-million dollar homes lie along the remaining canals. Most of these homes have their own docks and boats they can take on the water. Each canal has a few bridges that connect the two times. Although all of the bridges are very similar, each seems to be slightly unique. 

There are currently 5 properties on the canals for sale and 5 properties for lease, all with amazing views right on the canals! There are four single-family homes priced at $2.1 million, $2.249 million, $3.2 million, $5.25 million (an amazing contemporary masterpiece), and $6.5 million. There is also a 2 unit (8 bedrooms total) income-produce/investment/rental property listed at $3.2 million. Lastly, there are 5 properties available for lease priced at $8,450/month, $8,950/month, $12,000/month, $14,500/month, and $15,000/month.

Check out this $5.25 million contemporary mansion right on the canals (the price has not been updated yet, it is currently listed at $5.25 mil): http://www.trulia.com/property/166302-5110-Pacific-Ave-Marina-del-Rey-CA-90292
