The Landing The 90,000-square-foot property was designed to accommodate two tenants.

LOS ANGELES—The gap is closing between creative office and traditional office design, according to architect and designer Ware Malcomb. The firm has completed the Landing at 2040, a single-box creative office conversion project in El Segundo. The property has the amenity package of a creative build, but is designed to appeal to both traditional and creative users.

“Today we see the gap between creative and traditional office has closed,” Radwan Madani, Principal of Ware Malcomb‘s Los Angeles office,” tells GlobeSt.com. “The amenities we designed for a creative office has become a requirement of every office user depending on their business model. Employers realize in order to retain and recruit top talent, they have to provide amenities equivalent to what their competition is offering. As a result, fully leased office buildings are moving forward with capital improvements in order to retain their large tenants. Our design response to this evolution is by working with the latest products and technologies to reduce the financial burden of providing the creative designs while increasing productivity.”
