State relocation to hit Mid-Wilshire, Miracle Mile.


Workers to be transferred from 40 L.A. County sites

Mid-Wilshire and Miracle Mile Miracle Mile can refer to the following places:
  • Miracle Mile is a main street in Stockton, California, outside the University of the Pacific

About half of the state workers are going to be moved from the 369,000-square-foot Junipero Serra State Office Building at 107 S. Broadway in downtown L.A., just north of the planned consolidation site.

The other half, scattered in 40 locations governed by 72 leases around the county, are vacating 230,000 square feet of space, according to the report put out by the state's Department of General Services. Of that space, 180,000 square feet is coming from office buildings in Mid-Wilshire and Miracle Mile.

"The impact on landlords should not be great," said Dan Rosenfeld, the state coordinator of Gov. Pete Wilson's consolidation plan. "Most of the 72 leases are small."

The report shows that at least 60 percent of those leases are under 10,000 square feet.

"This is a horribly inefficient way to run an organization," Rosenfeld said of the small leases.

 Department, for instance, sprawls over L.A. County with 11 leases, most under 5,000 square feet. And the Department of Food and Agriculture is spread out in four locations in leases all under 5,000 square feet.

Wilson signed legislation earlier this year that would pave the way to consolidate state offices in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. , the Inland Empire In·land Empire

In Los Angeles, the plan calls for clustering state employees in a 750,000-square-foot office complex in mainly historic buildings linking the Ronald Reagan State Building, built on Spring Street three years ago, to the Metro Rail station at Fourth and Hill streets. Total construction costs are estimated at $245.9 million.

The existing state office building at First and Broadway would likely be demolished and sold as a development site, said Rosenfeld.

The state government projects its consolidation plan in Los Angeles will reduce space needs by 21 percent while giving a much-needed boost to neglected downtown.

State workers, however, have expressed dismay about leaving their current locations for the crime-ridden and traffic-clogged streets of downtown L.A. And commercial landlords have griped that the state should lease space in modern office buildings to absorb some of those buildings' vacant spaces.

For brokers, the consolidation means a glut of new empty space in certain markets.

The Mid-Wilshire market, already hammered by a flight of white-collar workers, stands to lose state workers from close to 120,000 square feet of office space.

The biggest state agency moving out is the Department of Corporations, which is located in 44,431 square feet of office space in the 11-story Wilshire Park Place Building at 3700 Wilshire Blvd.

Next is the Social Services Department, which has a 39,505-square-foot lease at the 12-story American Cement Building at 2404 Wilshire Blvd. (Some brokers would characterize this address in the downtown submarket.)

The Franchise Tax Board and the Public Employment Relations Board are moving out of 13,726 square feet of office space in the 18-story Metroplex building at 3530 Wilshire Blvd.

The Miracle Mile submarket, situated west of Mid-Wilshire, is scheduled to lose state workers occupying close to 60,000 square feet of space.

All those workers are from the Department of Social Services, which leases space in the Museum Square building at 5757 Wilshire Blvd.
