The two-story building in Bel Air at 640 North Sepulveda Boulevard has been sold for $32.5 million as reported by Bisnow.com. It was purchased by the J. Paul Getty Trust, according to Commercial Observer, and the building sits directly across the street from the Getty Center Museum. The purchase price has doubled from the last recorded sale in 2016.
The building was built in 1987 and was renovated in 2019 at a cost of $3 million. The site contains 12,000 feet of recreation and outdoor workspace on the site which includes a basketball court, courtyard, fire pit, outdoor patio, pet area, and lounge area according to Bisnow.com.
