Santa Monica Media District

Creative office in Santa Monica,
without the generic office.

This is the working side of Santa Monica: converted industrial buildings, real daylight, parking and direct access to the Bergamot creative corridor. 1520 Cloverfield Creative is the building Frank Gehry redesigned and worked from.

What to demand from creative office

Creative office is useful when the building changes how the space works. Look for daylight where people sit, ceilings with real volume, rooms that can handle both focused and collaborative work, HVAC your team controls, and parking your staff can use. Exposed brick alone does not solve an office problem.

Frank O. Gehry & Associates is documented at Cloverfield in March 1976, with later official address records in 1988–89 and 1996–97. His office is also named on the building’s 1987 alteration permit. Read the building’s history.

Why teams choose the Cloverfield corridor

Useful access

The Metro E Line, I-10 and the wider Westside are close enough to make client meetings and daily commutes workable.

Real building character

Brick, steel, skylights and loft ceilings come from the building itself. They are not a finish package pasted onto a conventional office.

Parking on site

Free on-site parking removes one of the most common daily frustrations in this part of Santa Monica.

A working district

Bergamot Station, the Water Garden and Santa Monica's production, design and media businesses are part of the same pocket.

What to compare before you sign a lease

  • Daylight: Walk the space at the hours your team will use it. Skylights and window lines matter more than a bright listing photo.
  • Control: Confirm HVAC hours, after-hours access and whether the suite has its own bathroom and kitchen.
  • Parking: Ask what is included, where guests go and whether the count works for your real headcount.
  • Layout: Test the plan against focused work, editing rooms, meetings and client-facing use before treating open volume as usable space.
  • Lease economics: Compare the quoted structure, operating obligations, term and tenant improvements on the same basis.
