S&G Properties Acquires $10.05 Million Warner Center Office Building for Security Firm Headquarters
S&G Properties Management LLC purchased a 62,241-square-foot Los Angeles office building for $10.05 million to house its security company Citiguard while renovating the property to attract premium tenants in the thriving Warner Center submarket.
S&G Properties Management LLC has acquired a three-story 62,241-square-foot office building at 5550 Topanga Canyon Boulevard in the Warner Center/Woodland Hills submarket for $10.05 million. The buyer plans to occupy a portion of the building for its company, Citiguard, which operates as California's premier security guard company, while leasing the remaining space to other tenants.
The Lee & Associates LA North/Ventura team of Darren Casamassima, Principal; Scott Romick, Principal/Managing Director; and Jay Rubin, Principal, represented the buyer in the transaction. The same team will oversee leasing activities for the property moving forward, indicating continuity in the building's management strategy. S&G Properties intends to invest significant capital into renovating both the interior and exterior of the building while creating on-site amenities designed to attract top-tier tenants to the remaining available space.
Casamassima noted the growing trend of owner/users in the Warner Center/Woodland Hills submarket, stating that the area continues to attract companies seeking growth opportunities in Los Angeles. The buyer was particularly drawn to the building's prominent location and visibility from the 101 Freeway, along with the potential to develop a best-in-class office property in this strategic area. The property's corner location at Topanga Canyon Boulevard and the 101 Freeway provides exposure to tens of thousands of daily commuters, enhancing its appeal for both corporate identity and tenant attraction.
The Warner Center location positions the building centrally within the area's main retail and business district, surrounded by abundant restaurants, hotels, and a thriving business community that includes local, regional, and national service firms. This acquisition reflects continued confidence in the Los Angeles office market, particularly in submarkets that offer strong visibility and accessibility.

This type of owner-user acquisition represents a strategic approach to corporate real estate that combines operational needs with investment opportunity in a single transaction.
