Vehicular access to the site is obtained via two driveways located mid-block along 7th Street.

Entry for trucks is via one entry only driveway along Decatur Street with an exit-only truck driveway located along 7th Street.
The planners state “Overall, the studio campus is designed with a strong architectural concept that is continuous throughout all buildings and all façades, both internal and external. The sound stages are designed to be bold, yet articulated, and are scaled to the public realm and internal user production needs. The office spaces above would be perched upward to take advantage of the views with a glazed, lit element that would overlook the streets and neighboring buildings.”
“The Studio Option’s design with pedestrian-friendly landscaping and pathway lighting would also help improve the pedestrian condition, especially as development continues to grow in the Arts District and the public transit corridors continue to take shape. The Studio Option would also widen the sidewalks along Alameda Street, 7th Street, and Decatur Street consistent with the Mobility Plan street dedication requirements to further enhance the pedestrian experience near the Property. ”
The proposed development has a total floor area of 4,69,854 SF over a development site of 3,61,461 SF.
