Law Firm Triples Space in DTLA Expansion

CBRE arranged a full-floor lease totaling 20,459 square feet at 707 Wilshire Blvd. in Downtown Los Angeles on behalf of The Sentinel Firm, APC. Christopher Penrose represented The Sentinel Firm, an employment and personal injury law firm. Carolwood is the landlord.

The Sentinel Firm entered the Downtown Los Angeles market in 2023 with a 2,641-square-foot sublease at Union Bank Plaza. In 2024, CBRE facilitated the firm’s move into a 6,439-square-foot sublease. With this lease, the firm more than triples its footprint, marking an expansion and reflecting its steady growth over the past three years.

“We’re seeing more tenants expand in Downtown L.A. as they recognize the advantages of being centrally located,” Penrose said. “Access to a larger talent pool, walkable amenities, and reverse commute patterns make this market increasingly attractive for growing firms. The Sentinel Firm’s expansion underscores a long-term commitment to the area and reflects the broader momentum we’re seeing.”
