5250 Lankershim

Modern lobby with blue sectional sofas, large windows showcasing greenery, and people conversing. A reception desk and abstract art add elegance.

Project Overview

SAA repositioned 5250 Lankershim into a modern, hospitality-driven workplace destination that elevates daily tenant experience and strengthens the building’s presence in a competitive market. Through a transformation of the lobby, outdoor areas and shared spaces, and years of ongoing tenant improvements throughout the property, SAA created a unified environment that supports retention, boosts leasing performance and responds to the evolving needs of a diverse tenant community. This long-term relationship is built on a deep understanding of the building, its tenants and the operational strategies that keep it performing at its highest level.
