An Atwater Village soundstage campus that has hosted everything from network soap operas to Netflix shoots and a Playboy TV lease is back on the market. Now marketed as BoxCar Studios, brokers are pitching the single-story complex as a turnkey play for a production company or investor, putting nearly four acres of production-ready land and creative space into circulation just as stage demand has started to cool.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the campus at 3030 Andrita Street, formerly known as 3030 Studios, includes three soundstages totaling roughly 34,500 square feet and sits on almost four acres. Michael Longo of CBRE is quoted as describing the listing as a rare production-ready opportunity for either an investor or an operator.
What Is On The Block
The property is being marketed by CBRE, whose materials show a full building footprint of about 108,249 square feet, with flexibility to lease or sell individual pieces or the entire campus. The offering spotlights heavy electrical capacity, multiple grade-level roll-up doors and roughly 180 parking stalls to keep crews and trucks happy. A public listing on LoopNet also notes about $18.6 million in recent capital improvements, framed as a way to cut down on day-one capital expenditures for a new buyer.
Campus History
The site was acquired in 2018 by private equity firm Gaw Capital in a deal reported at roughly $31 million, according to the Los Angeles Business Journal. Coverage of the current listing also points to the campus’s long entertainment track record: it has hosted ABC’s “All My Children,” was leased by Playboy TV in the 2000s and has been tapped for several Netflix productions, according to press accounts tied to the sale.
Where The Market Stands
Industry data paint a mixed backdrop. FilmLA reported that average Los Angeles soundstage occupancy slid to roughly 62 percent in 2025 after years in the mid-90s. At the same time, the governor’s office has highlighted richer incentives after the state boosted the Film & Television Tax Credit program to a $750 million annual cap, part of a broader push to pull more production back to California. Analytics firm ProdPro flagged early 2026 production spending as a possible stabilizing force, a data point brokers are happy to cite when talking up studio assets.
What Buyers Will Weigh
Prospective buyers will be weighing the campus’s plug-and-play readiness against softer booking trends and growing competition from incentive-heavy markets. Recent industry moves, including independent operators trimming their stage footprints, underline the caution many owners and investors are exercising, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. For now, the CBRE listing keeps several doors open: a buyer could continue to run the site as a studio campus, carve it up for multi-tenant creative uses, or pursue a redevelopment strategy that fits its M1 zoning.
