UCLA Research Park Project

UCLA Research Park Project

The proposed Project involves the development and operation of a state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary research and innovation hub, referred to as UCLA Research Park, located on the site occupied by the Westside Pavilion shopping center. The approximately 9.3-acre Project site includes Research Park East, located at 10800 W. Pico Boulevard, and Research Park West, located at 10850 W. Pico Boulevard, in the City of Los Angeles (City). Research Park East and West are connected by an existing enclosed pedestrian bridge across Westwood Boulevard. The proposed Project involves reuse of the approximately 744,400 gross square feet (GSF) of existing occupiable floor area within Research Park East and West via interior improvements to the existing buildings and limited new construction to provide over 800,000 GSF of scientific program space with approximately 29,000 square feet (SF) of open space and outdoor amenity areas and approximately 1,100 parking spaces on-site, for a total of up to approximately 1.35 million GSF of research park uses. The proposed Project also includes improvements to the on-site building systems, accessibility, and utility infrastructure. The proposed Project would achieve a minimum LEED BD+C Gold rating. Limited excavation would be required. The maximum depth of excavation would be approximately 10 feet for most Project components, and a depth of approximately 3.75 feet below the finished floor of parking Level P5 for seismic retrofits at Research Park West. There would be a net export of approximately 8,645 cubic yards of soil. It is estimated that construction would occur in phases beginning in 2026, with the Research Park East core and shell improvements and Phase 1 tenant improvements anticipated to be complete in late 2027
