Moved in recently. Very happy with Premier's service. Danielle the manager is very helpful and the two receptionists, Mike and Mary are excellent. They will sort incoming mail and packages. The maintenance and trash staff are very nice and so are parking attendants.
Took one star off for the building remodel that's ongoing, the tandem parking situation and lack of amenities in the building or right nearby. Distinctly Class B.
Location: on wilshire just east of Beverly Hills. Conveniently central. Premier's office space is on the 5th floor. Easy driving or Uber distance but not many affordable lunch options right nearby.
Building: exterior is a very utilitarian 1970s looking building. Not very exciting to look at.
Parking: the weirdest parking ever. There is not enough parking spots for all the tenants. You can pay for monthly valet parking, upper level and lower level parking. Parking is extra from rent. The upper level parking is non-tandem and has own driveway, but you have to take the stairs to get to the lobby elevators. The same goes for valet parking. If you parking in lower level, almost all tandem parking and there is direct elevator access if you're 2 levels down.
Lobby: new owner is redoing the lobby so right now it's a mess and barren. If you have guests, it's kind of embarrassing. Building security is lax, no ID checks and no key card needed for the elevators. It's supposed to be nice when remodel is done. We'll see.
Ambience: the layout feels like a normal office and less obviously a co-working space. So if you have clients come visit, they may think your firm is not as small as it is. Waiting area has warm sofa and chair. There's also a community dining table and kitchen.
Two large conference rooms available to book and day office also available for tenant.
Office space: they had standard size offices and the large corner offices. The exterior offices have window that face the street and clear glass walls and door. Interior offices have walls and door that's 90% frosted and very dark. Only exception are interior office that faces north.
Wilshire St facing offices (South side): these offices are closest to the main entrance but also the noisiest. You can hear the traffic on Wilshire and foot traffic. Depending on time of the year, direct afternoon soon into the office can be hot.
Palm St facing offices (west side): these are west facing office and has nice view of residential neighborhood. But direct afternoon sun is very hot.
East facing: hot morning sun.
North facing: these are the best, indirect light all day, so bright you don't even need to turn on the lights. Faces the residential street, so very quiet. Great view of trees and hills. But these are all occupied unless someone moves out.
Furniture: rent includes one desk, one office chair and two guest chairs. They charge by head, so if you want a second desk, they charge for 2 person rate. If there are extra ones not in use, you can have a side table and mini drawer for free.
Kitchen: free coffee and tea. Full size fridge and microwave but no toaster oven.
Access: you get a physical key for your door and key card for afterhours access to main door.
Printer/fax: there is a communal high speed printer and they charge you by page. So most people have their own printer in their office.
Tenant: mostly professionals. Quite a few are related to finance (accountants, VC funds, hedge funds etc) and then it gets eclectic.
Enjoying the space so far, dealing with the parking and the lobby remodel. read more
