Mellon Bank Center Bucks Trend, Fills Holes

LOS ANGELES-Two key tenants have signed separate leases to expand their space inside Mellon Bank Center, pushing the occupancy rate at the office high-rise atop Downtown’s Bunker Hill to 100%.

In the first deal, signature tenant Mellon Financial Corp. agreed to lease an additional 44,000 sf of space for 10 years. The pact is valued at about $12.5 million.

New York-based Mellon Financial already occupies two full floors in the 26-story tower, at 400 S. Hope St., as well as some ground-floor space. The additional 44,000 sf will raise its total space in the building to more than 103,000 sf.
