First Wall is Tilted at New Burbank Soundstage Development

Developer Worthe Real Estate Group and Stockbridge Real Estate Funds said Wednesday the first wall has been tilted at the 30-acre Warner Bros. Ranch Lot in Burbank. The 229,000-pound panel commemorates the start of the project, reportedly the largest soundstage development in the U.S.

The project will comprise a 926,000-square-foot studio campus and 16 soundstages, all fully leased to Warner Bros., a parking structure, a commissary, mill space and a 326,000-square-foot office complex.

“This is a big milestone for us, and we couldn’t be more excited for what this project means for the city of Burbank, our longstanding relationship with Warner Bros. and the entire business community in the greater Los Angeles area,” said Jeff Worthe, president of Worthe Real Estate Group. “This project will transform the area and usher in a new stage of growth for this vibrant community.”

Last year, Worthe completed Second Century at Burbank Studios, an 800,000-square-foot expansion of Warner Bros. studios. The project consists of two LEED certified office buildings, which stand seven and nine stories tall and were designed by Frank Gehry and his team at Gehry Partners, developed by Worthe and Stockbridge and built by Worthe’s construction company, Krismar Construction.
