Office Space on Washington Boulevard, Culver City: Rates, Buildings, and Availability

Washington Boulevard runs east to west through the middle of Culver City and carries more Class A office square footage than any other street in the market. One Culver at 10000 Washington is the most prominent office tower in Culver City. Platform at 8850 Washington is one of the best-known creative office and retail complexes in Southern California. Together, they anchor a corridor that offers something most streets in Los Angeles cannot: genuine choice between two completely different product types, side by side, with strong transit access to both.

Here is what space on Washington Boulevard costs, what is available, and what to consider before you sign.

What Does It Cost to Lease Office Space on Washington Boulevard?

Washington Boulevard has the widest rate range in the Culver City market, because it contains both the city’s top Class A tower and its most distinctive creative campus. Quoted rates vary significantly by building, suite, floor, and lease term. In the current market, what is listed and what is actually signed can differ. As a general orientation:

  • One Culver (10000 Washington): the highest-profile tower in Culver City, priced toward the top of the market. Expect to be above the Class A average, with the final number depending on suite size, floor, and term.
  • Platform (8850 Washington): creative campus product. Rates vary by building within the complex and are generally in the mid-market-to-above range for Culver City.
  • Other Class A and B buildings along the corridor are generally in the mid-market range, with more room to negotiate depending on vacancy in a given building.

Most leases on the corridor are Full-Service Gross (FSG), meaning operating expenses are included in the quoted rate. When comparing quotes from Triple Net buildings elsewhere in Culver City, ask what the operating expense load looks like so you are comparing apples to apples.

A rough sense of monthly cost at different sizes (highly variable depending on building and negotiated terms):

  • 2,000 sq ft: could range from roughly $7,000 to $10,000/month depending on building and terms
  • 5,000 sq ft: could range from roughly $18,000 to $25,000/month
  • 10,000 sq ft: could range widely. A tenant rep who knows current asking and closing rates is the most reliable way to get a real number.

Current vacancy on the corridor is elevated, and landlords are negotiating. Tenants signing leases today are getting better improvement packages and more free rent than they would have five years ago.

What the Corridor Offers

One Culver at 10000 Washington Boulevard: a landmark glass curtain-wall tower with panoramic city views and floor plates suited to mid-size and enterprise tenants. This is the highest-profile address in Culver City, walking distance to Westfield Culver City, Tender Greens, and the Culver Hotel. Priced accordingly, but with vacancy elevated, there is genuine room to negotiate on terms.

Platform at 8850 Washington Boulevard: one of the most recognized creative office complexes in Southern California. Repurposed industrial structures with a distinctive eclectic identity, on-site dining including Loqui and Roberta’s Pizza, and curated boutique retail. Appeals to companies in design, fashion, technology, and media.

The corridor overall gives tenants more large blocks of contiguous office space than any other Culver City submarket. If you need 10,000 or more square feet in a single space, Washington Boulevard is your best starting point.

Who Should Look Here

Washington Boulevard works best for:

  • Technology companies and streaming media firms that need real infrastructure and large floor plates
  • Creative studios and agencies that want visibility, modern amenities, and access to the Hayden Tract ecosystem next door
  • Enterprise tenants whose employees are commuting from across the Westside and beyond
  • Any company where having a recognizable address matters

It may not be the right fit for:

  • Tenants who need the lowest possible rate (look at Corporate Pointe or Lucerne-Higuera instead)
  • Very small tenants under 1,500 sq ft. The big buildings here are built for larger users.
  • Companies that depend entirely on car commutes and prioritize freeway-adjacent parking over transit
