ECHELON isn’t just a collection of buildings. It's a movement to protect, power, and elevate the next century of Hollywood storytelling.
Our Inspiration
ECHELON was founded on the belief that Hollywood must not only survive but thrive - maintaining its place as the entertainment capital of the world, even as technology rapidly reshapes how stories and media are created, distributed, and consumed. In this shifting landscape, ECHELON serves as both anchor and accelerator: preserving Hollywood’s legacy while building the platforms, spaces, and community needed to drive its future forward.
The Big Idea
ECHELON is a bold reimagining of production, collaboration, and innovation - purpose-built for an era where technology and media converge. It is a network of premier creative hubs and studio environments - each distinctly crafted - combining best-in-class amenities, cutting-edge technology infrastructure, and a deep commitment to community, all set in the entertainment capital of the world.
Highlights

Our destinations are steps from the major studios, soundstages, and networks that define Hollywood - the global epicenter of entertainment.

ECHELON’s environments are intentionally designed for content creators and affiliated companies - featuring production-ready infrastructure, creative suites, event spaces, and dynamic collaborative hubs.

Each ECHELON property thoughtfully incorporates a food and beverage component that reflects the authentic spirit of Los Angeles.

Backed by visionary partners including Bain Capital Real Estate and BARDAS Investment Group - ECHELON stands at the crossroads of real estate innovation, technological advancement, and cultural investment.

Current residents include Khalabo Ink Society, PUMA’s Marketing Entertainment Division, Fear of God, and Virgin Music Group, with former tenants like Netflix (home to Ryan Murphy Productions) further solidifying ECHELON’s place in Hollywood’s creative ecosystem.

In collaboration with local artists, ECHELON and BARDAS bring vibrant public art installations to life at each project, elevating the cultural fabric of Hollywood and celebrating the city's dynamic creative community.
