COLUMBIA SQUARE STUDIOS: Hollywood | Multi-Venue Campus (Former NeueHouse Hollywood)
Located at the iconic Columbia Square on Sunset Boulevard, this is Hollywood's premier event and production campus, housed within the landmark 1938 CBS Radio Building designed by Swiss-born architect William Lescaze in the International Style with Streamline Moderne flourishes. The property's distinguished pedigree is unmatched in Los Angeles: a designated City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 947), originally commissioned by CBS founder Bill Paley as "a machine for broadcasting" — the first building in the world purpose-built for mass communication. It was here that Lucille Ball filmed the pilot of "I Love Lucy" in Studio A, and stars including Jack Benny, Orson Welles, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, and the Beach Boys broadcast and recorded within its walls; James Dean worked as an usher in the Mezzanine. Meticulously restored by Rockwell Group, this multi-level campus now offers over 27,190 sq. ft. of magnificent event space across six floors — capable of hosting up to 1,500 guests for today's most sophisticated activations, premieres, and productions.
