Sony Pictures Animation Campus

Sold at August 24, 2026 foreclosure auction to Fortress Investment Group; City/PFA negotiation with CF CC Investor LLC scheduled September 14, 2026

Former Sony Pictures Animation campus at 9050 Washington Boulevard in Culver City. After a 2026 mortgage default exceeding $100 million, the property sold at public auction on August 24, 2026 to Fortress Investment Group for a reported $71.3 million. Los Angeles Business Journal reporting published September 14 states that Culver City officials had expressed interest in buying the campus before the auction. Culver City's final September 14 agenda separately names CF CC Investor LLC as the other party's negotiator in a City/Public Finance Authority real-property negotiation concerning the campus.

Financial Relationship

The campus was financed through a Goldman Sachs-originated note that entered default in 2026. Los Angeles Business Journal reports that Fortress Investment Group acquired the property at the August 24 public auction for $71.3 million and then placed a new $53.5 million mortgage on the complex with Deutsche Bank appointed administrator. The City's September 14 final agenda names CF CC Investor LLC as the other party's negotiator concerning the same property.

Record Notes

Canonical property record. Existing CCR source records and the September 14, 2026 Los Angeles Business Journal article differ on the earlier acquisition chronology and partner attribution: the current archive contains a Hackman source associated with a 2021 Hackman/Square Mile acquisition history, while the Business Journal reports that Hackman and Affinius acquired the complex in 2019 for $160 million. That discrepancy is preserved rather than silently reconciled pending a definitive transaction record. The Business Journal states that Hackman lost control of the campus when Fortress Investment Group acquired it at the August 24 public auction for $71.3 million after a $103 million mortgage default. The same article reports that Culver City officials had expressed interest in buying the campus before the auction. The City's September 14 final agenda names CF CC Investor LLC, not Fortress, as the other party's negotiator. The available records do not expressly establish the relationship between CF CC Investor LLC and Fortress, so none is inferred. No completed City acquisition is asserted.
