Los Angeles Center Studios

450 S BIXEL ST, LOS ANGELES, CA, 90017

Los Angeles Center Studios is a full-service media campus at 450 S. Bixel Street in Downtown Los Angeles, built around the former Union Oil Center, a William Pereira-designed tower that opened in 1958 as the headquarters of the Union Oil Company of California (Unocal). After Unocal vacated, the roughly 20-acre site was renovated and six 18,000-square-foot, audience-rated sound stages were added, with the studio opening in 1999. The campus combines about 450,000 square feet of office space with the sound stages, plus a commissary, theater, fitness center, and a private park, and its distinctive tower has frequently doubled for office exteriors on screen. Productions shot there include Top Gun: Maverick, Mank, Dreamgirls, History of the World Part II, and the series Westworld.
