LOS ANGELES--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE: KRC) today announced that it has expanded its market position within Southern Californiaas improving technology, media and entertainment economy with the $65 million acquisition of Columbia Square, a historic media campus in Hollywood, and the expected early fourth quarter acquisition of Tribeca West, a West Los Angeles entertainment-oriented office property, for $73 million.

"The Hollywood real estate market is benefiting from revitalization and gentrification, with more than $3 billion of public and private investment in the past several years"

Columbia Square is a fully-entitled 4.7 acre site in the heart of Hollywood that includes the opportunity to redevelop three existing historic buildings and to develop a new mixed-use media campus that preserves the historic character, while creating a new state-of-the-art office project, a residential community, and an amenity-rich retail environment. Tribeca West is a 151,000 square-foot office property in West Los Angeles that caters to entertainment production and post-production work.

Together with KRCas recent Sunset Media Center acquisition in Hollywood and its other Westside properties, including Westside Media Center and Santa Monica Media Center, the company has created a significant platform of media-related properties in Los Angeles that will cater to KRCas expanding roster of entertainment-oriented tenants, generating marketing synergies for the company across the region.

Columbia Square Acquisition

KRC paid $65 million to acquire Columbia Square, a campus that includes three historic office buildings totaling approximately 96,000 square feet that were the former home of the CBS networkas Los Angeles radio and television operations, and a site that is fully entitled for the development of an office, retail and multi-family mixed-use project under a fifteen-year development agreement. Located at 6121 W. Sunset Blvd., Columbia Square is just two blocks from the storied corner of Sunset and Vine and one block from KRCas Sunset Media Center. The two campuses are surrounded by significant retail amenities as well as the Metro Redline. Neighbors include the Academy Awards, Graumanas Chinese Theater, Capitol Records, Live Nation, Time Warner, CNNas West Coast broadcasting center and prominent motion picture studios.

KRC plans a multi-phase redevelopment and development of the site, including redeveloping the existing historic office buildings, preserving the International Modernist design of Swiss architect, William Lescaze, and developing up to 550,000 square feet of additional office, retail and residential space over the next several years.

Redevelopment and initial office construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2013 with completion of phase one work targeted for 2015. The company estimates its total investment in the project, including land, will total approximately $300 million.

aThe Hollywood real estate market is benefiting from revitalization and gentrification, with more than $3 billion of public and private investment in the past several years,a said David Simon, KRCas executive vice president for the Los Angeles region. aThere is very little quality office space available to meet growing demand from entertainment and media tenants. We see significant opportunities to capitalize on the lack of modern office and retail product. Whatas more, by expanding our regional portfolio of media-oriented properties, we can deepen our service capabilities and broaden our marketing opportunities with the industryas major players, while creating potential synergies for the many small and mid-sized entertainment companies whose operations are currently scattered throughout the city.a
