LOS ANGELES, CA –– HFF announces the $69.25 million sale and $51.5 million financing of 9171 Wilshire Drive, a 106,890-square-foot office building in Beverly Hills, California.

The HFF team represented the seller, and procured the buyer, a joint venture between Cruzan and Cigna Investment Management.  Additionally, the HFF team worked on behalf of the buyer to secure the acquisition loan through Mesa West Capital.   

9171 Wilshire is located along one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares centrally located between Downtown LA, Hollywood, Century City and West Los Angeles. 

 The property is in close proximity to the Golden Triangle, a premier tourist destination defined by high-street retail along Rodeo Drive, upscale dining and luxury hotels.

  Additionally, 9171 Wilshire is easily accessible to the 405 and 10 Freeways and will be served by the future Metro Purple Line Extension.  The six-story office building is 83 percent leased to a mix of entertainment, financial, legal and real estate tenants, including Avalon Holdings, Kaplan Perrone Entertainment and Mejia & Kaplan. 

Cruzan plans to substantially renovate the entire building with the hope of capitalizing on the strength of the Beverly Hills office submarket.

While the scope of work is still being finalized, it is likely to include a new building lobby, new multi-tenant corridors and restrooms, and addition of a shared amenity space. The new ownership also plans to transform the current vacancies into contemporary work spaces, catering to companies that are seeking to retain and recruit top talent.

The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller consisted of managing director Andrew Harper, associate Matthew Fisher and Ryan Gallagher.

“This was an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an asset with significant upside in one of the most sought after core markets in the world,” said Harper.
