Colburn School schedules opening for $337 million hall as Los Angeles commercial leasing advances

The Colburn School of Performing Arts announced an opening date of September 2027 for its new Terri and Jerry Kohl Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The 1,000-seat performance venue, designed by architect Frank Gehry, represents a $337 million investment in the cultural district's arts infrastructure.

In other regional commercial property developments, audio manufacturer Audio-Technica acquired creative office space in Hollywood's Media District. The Japanese company selected the site to place operations closer to entertainment industry partners after reviewing options across six different Southern California submarkets.

Along the Los Angeles waterfront, the West Harbor development signed three new commercial leases totaling more than 22,000 square feet. The incoming tenants—Wagbar, Tierra Azul, and Sno Swell—follow the property's initial summer launch, building on a leasing rate that reached 76 percent earlier in the year.
