Photos: Red Building at Pacific Design Center getting tenants at last

The Pacific Design Center at Melrose Avenue and San Vicente Boulevard comprises the Red Building, the Green Building and the Blue Building.

The Red Building’s four tenants will occupy a combined total of more than 65,400 square feet of offices in the 400,000-square-foot structure.

Landlord Charles S. Cohen said he was determined to find tenants in creative fields who would fit into the spirit of the Pacific Design Center, as envisioned by architect Cesar Pelli four decades ago.

The Red Building, the last piece of the Pacific Design Center trio, will finally get occupants.

Internationally renowned architect Cesar Pelli envisioned three striking towers in West Hollywood — clad in bright blue, green and red.

The Red Building, Green Building and Blue Building at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood were designed by noted architect Cesar Pelli. “I have worked on this my whole life,” said Pelli, 88.

“It may have taken longer than we would have liked” to land the first tenants, landlord Charles S. Cohen said, “but some things are worth waiting for.”

Landlord Charles S. Cohen, who acquired the Pacific Design Center in 1999, decided to turn the Green Building into offices as well as showrooms and went on to start construction on the Red Building in 2007 — the last boom period in the regional office market.

During the long course of the Pacific Design Center’s development, the neighborhood went though substantial changes.
