A studio is planned for 2233 Jesse St.
Another day, another studio planned for Los Angeles.
Developer East End Capital has filed plans with the city of Los Angeles for a studio at 2233 Jesse St. in Boyle Heights.
The New York-based company aims to convert a cold-storage industrial property into a production studio.
If approved, the property would have a 237,000-square-foot production studio with four soundstages, office space and storage.
Downtown-based Relativity Architects is designing the project.
East End Capital is in escrow to buy the property, records show. The site is currently leased to Glacier Cold Storage Ltd., Anresco Inc. and Cal Hono Freight Forwarders Inc., according to CoStar Group Inc.
The Jesse Street property is less than 2 miles from the Los Angeles Times printing plant, which is also marked for a studio overhaul.
Earlier this year, Atlas Capital Group submitted plans for the $650 million project that would create an 832,000-square-foot creative campus consisting of 17 soundstages at the 26-acre Times location.
If approved, the 8th and Alameda Studios project will have screening theaters, executive offices, production workspace, restaurants and fitness amenities.
The development will add five new structures to the site’s existing parking lot.
The project is expected to have 272,500 square feet of soundstages; 307,700 square feet of production space; 212,300 square feet of office space; 24,000 square feet of restaurants and foodservice; and 15,500 square feet of fitness facilities. It would also have a nine-story parking garage.
Atlas Capital purchased the site for $241.5 million in 2019.
The studio and buildings are being designed by Bastien and Associates Inc.
It would be built in stages so the L.A. Times can still be printed at the plant. Eventually, the printing plant building would be repurposed into 11 soundstages, production support space, executive offices, a full-service restaurant with an outdoor patio, a commissary, a café and a fitness center.
