History[]

The company was founded as Hudson Capital by Victor J. Coleman.[3] In 2007, Hudson Capital purchased Sunset Gower Studios and in 2008 purchased Sunset Bronson Studios.[4] Hudson Capital was reformed as Hudson Pacific Properties in 2009[3][1] and on June 29, 2010, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[1]

In December 2014, the company acquired 26 properties in Northern California from The Blackstone Group's EQ Office for $3.5 billion.[5] This made Hudson Pacific the largest publicly traded owner-operator of office space in Silicon Valley.[6] In 2017 the company bought Sunset Las Palmas Studios.[4]

In March 2019, in a joint venture with funds managed by The Blackstone Group, the company acquired Bentall Centre, Vancouver.[7] Later in the year Hudson Pacific finished construction on Epic, the first office tower in Los Angeles to include solar energy-generating technology in the building’s walls.[8] In January 2019, the company leased One Westside, formerly known as the Westside Pavilion, to Google.[9]

In June 2020, funds managed by The Blackstone Group acquired a 49% stake in several properties owned by the company.[10][11]
