LOS ANGELES, CA-Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Yaffe ruled in favor of Thomas Properties of Los Angeles and against Los Angeles-based Kilroy Realty Corp. last week in the latest round in the long-running legal and political battle over a proposed Thomas development in El Segundo, Calif.

Yaffe denied Kilroy's petition to halt the proposed Thomas project, a 46-acre development of up to 2 million sf of office space and 500,000 sf of retail, restaurants, industrial and hotel space on Sepulveda Boulevard, just south of Los Angeles International Airport.

The judge also ordered Kilroy to pay the court costs incurred by Corporate Campus developer Thomas Properties Group, the city of El Segundo as well as the site's owner, Federal Express Corp.
