About 751 Fairfax Avenue 1
Constructed in 2009, this newer development includes approximately 2,410 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, along with an additional 700 square feet of high-ceilinged storage. The layout is currently configured as seven private offices, a kitchen area, and a spacious common area, fully wired with Cat 6 and fiber-optic connectivity. Ample gated parking is located directly behind the building, plus two additional spaces off the alley (subject to CC&R rules). Per the CC&Rs, the space is legally divisible into three separate units, offering maximum flexibility for a variety of commercial uses.
The ground-floor space features striking industrial design elements such as exposed concrete floors, walls, and ceilings, as well as dramatic ceiling heights and prominent Fairfax Avenue frontage. Tenants also benefit from access to a secure rooftop patio via elevator, offering panoramic 360-degree views from the Hollywood Sign to the Pacific Ocean and Downtown LA—an extraordinary feature rarely found in similar properties.
Architectural Significance and Sustainability
The Cherokee Lofts sit on a storied site once home to the legendary Cherokee Recording Studios and MGM Studios. Musical legends such as Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, and Dave Matthews have recorded here, adding a rich cultural legacy to the property.
Inspired by the kinetic artwork of British painter Patrick Hughes, the architecture embraces dynamic movement through a unique operable double façade system. Perforated anodized aluminum panels shimmer in daylight and glow at night while enhancing natural light, airflow, and privacy. These screens not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
Cherokee Studios is notably the first LEED Platinum Certified building in Hollywood—and the first LEED Platinum mixed-use or market-rate multi-family development in Southern California. This project incorporates sustainable design elements that go well beyond standard practices, ensuring energy efficiency and optimal performance throughout the building’s life cycle.
From its award-winning architectural innovation and sustainability to its unrivaled location and design quality, this commercial property offers an extraordinary opportunity that’s nearly impossible to replicate.
