Creative Office Targets Non-Creative Fields

EL SEGUNDO, CA-A joint venture between Continental Development Corp. and Mar Ventures plans to develop a 15-building office campus of creative space called elevon, GlobeSt.com reported in an earlier story. Jones Lang LaSalle’s Steve Solomon and Carl Muhlstein are leading marketing efforts for the project while CBRE‘s Bill Bloodgood and Bob Healey will oversee building sales.

Few new office developments of this size have come through the pipeline in the past five years, which makes this development particularly interesting. “One of the reasons to do such a large project is to create the amenities that we think are so important,” Allan Mackenzie, president of Mar Ventures, tells GlobeSt.com. Onsite amenities include Wifi office parks, covered meeting areas and restaurant and retail space. And although elevon interiors include concrete floors, natural light and roll-up doors, Mackenzie suggests that this isn’t truly creative office space.
