BURBANK, CA-Independent television station KCET has signed a new 58,232-square-foot lease at the POINTE, a new office building here, where it is scheduled to move in April next year. The deal represents one of the largest office relocations in Los Angeles this year, according to CB Richard Ellis brokers involved in the lease.

The lease follows KCET's sale of its 4.5-acre studio on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood earlier this year, as reported on GlobeSt.com. KCET's deal is an 11-year lease for the entire fifth floor and half of the sixth floor at The Pointe, which is located at 2900 Alameda in Burbank’s Media District.

CBRE’s Tom Cherry, Will Adams and Paul Stockwell represented KCET in the lease transaction, as well as in the sale of the Hollywood studio. CBRE’s R. Todd Doney and Nico Vilgiate and Worthe Real Estate Group represented the landlord, Catalina Media Development LLC.

KCET's new location will include two production studios and nearly all new equipment. In addition to being one of the largest office relocations signed this year, the lease is one of the few relocations of an operational television station in the past 10 years. Michael White of Gensler is KCET’s interior architect. Steven Claman and Ryan Iwasaka of Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger LLP provided legal services to KCET.

The POINTE, which achieved LEED Gold certification last year, is located on Studio Row within walking distance of Disney/ABC, NBC Universal and Warner Bros. Developed by M. David Paul Ventures and managed by Worthe Real Estate Group, the 14-story, 485,000 square foot, class A building represents the first phase of the 44-acre entertainment campus, formerly owned by NBC/Universal and home to shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Access Hollywood, Days of Our Lives and KNBC 4 News. Other tenants in The POINTE include DC Comics (part of Warner Bros) and Outlook Amusements.

Geared toward entertainment industry and new media tenants, The POINTE, together with the former NBC Burbank Studios, currently comprises over 1.6 million square feet of existing improvements, eight sound stages and 165,000 square feet of warehouse space, with the potential to develop over 1.5 million square feet of additional entertainment-related facilities.
