Renderings Revealed for Trident Center Expansion

An initial study published by the Los Angeles Department of City Planning offers a sneak peak at the proposed expansion of West L.A.'s Trident Center.

The mid-rise office complex, which spans a full city block at 11355 W. Olympic Boulevard, currently consists of two 10-story buildings with a combined 383,000 square feet of leasable offices. McCarthy Cook, the real estate firm that owns the facility, submitted plans to the city last summer to build an additional 120,000 square feet of offices and retail space on the property.

Renderings of the project, which is being designed by Gensler, show bridge multiple bridges between the two buildings would create some of the new office space, as well as opportunities for elevated amenity decks. The second and third levels would be further extended out towards Olympic Boulevard, where offices would hover over a ground-floor plaza flanked by commercial space.
