MGA Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based manufacturer of the popular Bratz doll line, is planning a 1.2-million square-foot mixed-use complex in the San Fernando Valley
The proposed development, located at 20000 West Prairie Street in Chatsworth, would rise upon a nearly 24-acre site which once served as a printing plant for the Los Angeles Times. The project, which is being designed by Killefer Flammang Architects, calls for a campus-style setting that would include office space, rental apartments, and community-serving retail.
MGA Entertainment's new corporate headquarters would serve as the development's focal point. The toy maker would relocate approximately 250 employees into an existing 250,000-square-foot facility. The nondescript two-story structure would be substantially remodeled "with a theme reflective of MGA's products." Proposed additions include a 7,500-square-foot employee cafeteria, a daycare center, outdoor patio space and significant water features and landscaping. The building would also contain 43,000 square feet of leasable creative office space and limited assembly, production and showroom space.
