Summary
Netflix is set to snap up the iconic Radford Studio Center in LA for $400 million — a steep discount from its $1.2 billion sale just a few years ago — as its former owner, Hackman Capital Partners, faces crushing debt. With Hollywood’s real estate market cooling due to rising rates and post-strike production slowdowns, Netflix is making a bold pivot: buying, not leasing. This acquisition, expected to close in Q3, signals the streaming giant’s push to own prime studio space and build a central hub for its expanding content empire.
