The office real estate market is exceptionally hot right now for the creative/open office space desired by Internet and other high-tech companies. Demand in the West L.A. and Santa Monica area far exceeds supply, and this demand is spilling over into secondary areas such as Culver City and the South Bay, and even into the Miracle Mile and Hollywood.
