The Gehry Building · 1520–1528 Cloverfield Blvd

1520 Cloverfield Creative

Built as a two-story brick warehouse in the mid-1960s, 1520 later became the studio of Frank O. Gehry & Associates. Gehry’s 1987 remodel added metal panels and canopies to the original brick shell.

Today, the building offers creative-office spaces with varied layouts, exposed materials and individually controlled HVAC. Ask leasing which spaces match your work, parking needs and move date.
