LOS ANGELES, CA, Sept. 29, 2014 – Charles Dunn Company, one of the largest full-service regional real estate firms in the western United States, has completed a four-year, 19,653-square-foot lease with University of Southern California (USC) for expansion of its charter school.

The space is within the World Trade Center, a 370,000-square-foot, 10-story office building located at 350 S. Figueroa Street in Downtown Los Angeles.

Chris Runyen, senior managing director with Charles Dunn Company, represented the landlord, Jamison Properties. USC was represented by Dennis Smith, Howard Feuerstein, and Cory Campbell of Travers Realty.

With this new lease, USC is expanding its presence by nearly doubling its space within the property, and has brought World Trade Center’s occupancy up to 74 percent.

“This was an expansion of USC's Hybrid High School that has a total of 20,000 square feet on the ground floor,” said Runyen.

“The ground floor space serves as classrooms and administrative offices for the freshman and sophomore classes. 

"This new space is located on the second floor and will provide additional classrooms for those students advancing to their junior and senior years.

“The school made some minor renovations to its new space – that was previously used for education purposes – in time to take occupancy for the 2014/2015 school year.”

Runyen added that Charles Dunn aggressively marketed the space to schools, emphasizing that they could take advantage of the existing E-1 occupancy required by charter schools. 

World Trade Center occupies the entire block of Figueroa to Flower Streets and 3rd to 4th Streets. It is adjacent to the Ketchum YMCA, the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and the Downtown Hyatt and is a short walk to numerous dining and retail amenities.
