The final months of 2011 brought much success to Combined Properties! With a unanimous vote by the Culver City Council in December, Combined Properties – along with its partners Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Ehrlich Architects – was awarded the 9300 Culver Boulevard development project in Culver City, CA. The proposed 3-story, 115,000 SF project is located in the heart of downtown Culver City adjacent to multiple historic and iconic structures including the Culver Hotel and Culver Studios.
