Implementation of the Radford Studio Center Plan will keep production in Studio City, create thousands of entertainment industry jobs, boost local small businesses, and deliver other important benefits to the community.
RSC Plan Benefits
Beautifying and Increasing
Access to the LA River
The LA River bike and pedestrian path is interrupted at Radford Studio Center. Our plan proposes to close the existing gap in the bike and pedestrian path by bridging over the Tujunga Wash, allowing Studio City residents and all Angelenos to enjoy a beautified and accessible river frontage along the property.
A Sustainable Future
Our plan adds new bike and pedestrian paths by constructing a bridge over Tujunga Wash, allowing neighbors to enjoy a beautified and accessible river frontage. The plan also enhances the public edges of the property and will beautify the streetscape – improving the overall walking experience around the property.
Environmental responsibility is central to our plan. Green building standards and industry-leading sustainability features will be incorporated throughout all facets of the reimagined Radford Studio Center.
Empowerment Through
Equity
Through multi-faceted mentorship and job-training programs, the Radford Studio Plan will prepare the next generation of creators. Changing Lenses is an initiative to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in the entertainment industry by providing historically underrepresented communities these mentorship and job-training opportunities.
Investing In Studio City
The power of jobs created during construction and operations will reverberate throughout the local economy. By providing a robust customer base for local shops, restaurants and other small businesses, Radford Studio Center will help Studio City succeed by promoting job creation, business growth and a strong local economy as we stay true to our heritage industry.
Bolstering Safety
Safety is an important concern for neighbors and our work on this matter has already begun. Listening to residents and business owners, we installed additional lighting in the alley adjacent to the studio to improve area safety. We also made sure the Studio City Business Improvement District was able to provide motorized security patrol seven days a week after we learned it only did so five days a week.
Past is present
Radford Studio Center has been in continuous use as a production facility for 95 years. This plan honors Radford Studio Center’s historical roots and enhances the existing use by updating the site into a modern, world-class studio – giving content creators the tools to succeed for decades to come.
