LOS ANGELES, CA – Olive Hill Group, LLC, a Los Angeles-based private investor, operator and developer of commercial real estate, has completed approximately $21.4 million and 97,000 square feet in leasing activity at its newly renovated Class A creative office campus, The Courtyard at 200-300 Corporate Pointe in Culver City.

 Olive Hill has increased occupancy at the award-winning property from 72% to 95% just two and a half years after acquiring the asset.

Tim Lee
In line with Olive Hill’s ongoing strategy to quickly reposition commercial assets to provide exceptional value and attract high-quality tenants including PaychexIpsos andPearson, the firm recently completed a major redevelopment and rebranding of the property including upgraded seating areas in the courtyard and the addition of food truck loading zones, bike-share, an upgraded cafe, a new on-site fitness center, and hammocks within a lounge setting.

Other amenities include free Wi-Fi throughout the courtyard, improved walkability, and modernized lighting.

Situated on the east side of the 405 Freeway near Jefferson Boulevard, 200-300 Corporate Pointe features a campus atmosphere, flexible outdoor work space, a soothing waterfall, and a lagoon.


"The recent addition of a national Fortune 100 computer technology company as an anchor tenant at our Culver City creative campus continues to solidify Silicon Beach’s position as one of the fastest growing, most dynamic tech markets in Southern California,” says Tim Lee, Principal, Olive Hill Group.

"Tech jobs are the largest occupational category driving growth in the U.S. office market with companies like Facebook, Google and Microsoft adding 84,600 technology-related jobs between 2016 and 2026.

"The impact of this growth is being felt nationwide, and is especially prevalent in Silicon Beach, driving many other companies to expand and relocate to this area to be closer to regional tech growth.”

The tech footprint in Silicon Beach continues to expand with the addition of companies like ByteDance, a highly valuable Chinese tech start-up, moving into the area.



"Silicon Beach’s tech ecosystem is growing exponentially,” continues Lee. “This growth is fueled by the market’s relative affordability when compared to Los Angeles, as well as its proven ability to attract high-quality tech talent.”

Lee adds that today’s workers gravitate to highly amenitized space in walkable locations and confirms that Olive Hill’s properties offer these benefits.

“Creative employers recognize that workers are drawn to lifestyle-focused properties that foster creative and collaborative work. The Courtyard at Corporate Pointe is a shining example of a creative workspace that delivers the true live/work/play experience demanded by today’s tenants.”

Robb Capital, CRE Loan and Better Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Arrange $42.84 Million Financing for Le Meridian Dallas by the Galleria Hotel in Dallas, TX


Le Meridien Dallas by the Galleria Hotel, Dallas, TX

Palm Beach, FL - Robb Capital, LLC, CRE Loan and Better Commercial Real Estate Mortgage, Inc. are pleased to announce they have arranged financing in the amount of $42,840,000 for the Le Méridien Dallas by the Galleria. 

Le Méridien is a luxurious, 258 all-suite hotel, located in the city’s premiere North Texas Shopping district, and just steps from the world renowned Galleria Dallas Mall, art galleries, museums, thriving restaurant districts, shopping and entertainment.

“We couldn’t be happier with this deal,” says Brian H. Robb, MBA, MSc, President and Founder of Robb Capital, LLC and CRE Loan (a DBA under Robb Capital that focuses solely on their non-recourse platform, with a strong emphasis on commercial mortgage backed securities). 


Brian H. Robb

“We are very proud of our team for finding the ideal source partner, which enabled our borrower to secure customized, long-term, non-recourse fixed rate financing with an aggressively priced spread,” stated Eric H. Better, Founder of Better Commercial Real Estate Mortgage and partner in Robb Capital along with CRE Loan.

According to Mr. Better, two strategic parcels were carved out of the collateral, with the borrower planning to build a convention center and parking structure on these pads.

With such diverse plans for the project, this will significantly increase the net operating income, net cash flow, and overall value of the hotel.

“After the market recession, we saw our clients filing corporate and personal bankruptcy to protect their CRE properties,” states Mr. Robb.  “Mr. Better, the president of Better Commercial Real Estate Mortgage, and I saw that there was a need for a strong non-recourse financing platform for CRE Loans. 

Eric H. Better
"Thus, CRE Loan was formed.  The Le Méridien financing is the perfect example of how a non-recourse fixed rate request can be customized, without the need for a bridge loan.”

Financing terms for the Le Méridien include a 10 year, non-recourse term with a 70% LTV and a 30 year amortization.
