Hudson Pacific Properties "announced the sale of Element LA, a 284,000-square-foot office campus located in West Los Angeles. Hudson Pacific sold the property for $150 million and received a separate $81 million payment for terminating the existing lease. Transfer taxes for the sale transaction were paid by the buyer. The company used the gross proceeds from the sale of the property and the termination of the lease, totaling $231 million, to repay $206 million of CMBS debt associated with the property, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes. Hudson Pacific acquired the various office and warehouse assets for $101 million over a decade ago and successfully transformed, redeveloped and leased up the property as a creative office campus."
