Hollywood Dealing.

World of Wonder Productions has purchased a landmark building on Hollywood Boulevard, and plans to move its headquarters into the top floor.

The film and TV production company purchased the building, at 6650 Hollywood Blvd. (at Cherokee Avenue), for just under $3 million from SDH Properties LEC.

The Shane Building was the first home of the Directors Guild of America The 35,000-square-foot Art Deco structure was built in the 1930s and has four stories of office space, ground-floor retail and the former Ritz Movie Theater, which now houses a church.

"There's the whole renaissance of the boulevard. It's a great place for us to get in," said Randy Barbato, principal of World of Wonder.

The company directed and produced the current film "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," as well as numerous television programs and films, including "Hollywood Fashion Machine." And the company manages singer-actor-supermodel RuPaul.

Tenants in the building include Oil Factory, a music video producer; Ready Net Set, an Internet startup; and the Ritz, a new luncheonette cafe owned by Michelle Lamy, who also owns the Hollywood hotspot Les Deux Cafes.

Jeff Luster of Major Properties represented World of Wonder in the sale. Stephen Sisca of the Wilshire Corp. represented the seller.
