Industry Partners Expands to the Valley

LOS ANGELES—Industry Partners has expanded to the San Fernando Valley, GlobeSt.com reports exclusively. The commercial leasing agency, which specializes in non-traditional space, has opened its third Los Angeles office at 3330 Cahuenga Blvd. in Universal City, and has hired market experts Trevor Belden and Robert Erikson to lead the new office.

With offices already in Santa Monica and Downtown Los Angeles, Industry Partners saw a demand for the same type of creative or non-traditional office space in the San Fernando Valley. “It’s been two years now since we began the push into downtown, and it is amazing how quickly things happened for us after that,” Jim Jacobsen, Industry Partners co-founding partner and principal, tells GlobeSt.com. The firm wanted to enter the Hollywood and Silverlake markets as well, but didn’t see enough demand to warrant a whole office. “This office is an adjunct to our downtown office, serving Hollywood, Silverlake and markets further in the Valley, extending all the way to Calabasas. There is a high-level of demand for non-traditional space in the San Fernando market, but no one is really satiating it,” Jacobsen says.
