A proposed Hollywood office complex, Sunset + Wilcox, would replace a Staples office supply store and similar commercial buildings at 6450 Sunset Boulevard.
The proposed development, announced in March 2020, calls for the construction of a 15-story building featuring 431,000 square feet (40,041) of offices above 12,386 square feet (1,150 square meters) of ground-floor retail space. Gensler is designing the building, which has undergone several revisions since last shown in late 2020. The mass timber wrapping the upper floors of the building has been discarded and replaced by clear and frosted materials, held together by a steel frame. Tiered building heights remain unchanged, providing a reduction in scale facing Sunset Boulevard, and approximately 22,000 square feet (2,043 square meters) of landscaped terrace decks for use by tenants.
According to the environmental study, construction of Sunset + Wilcox development is expected to be completed in 2026, contingent on the approval of discretionary approvals by the City of Los Angeles, including a height district change and the approval of a vesting tentative tract map.
