Fortress Investment Group is now the owner of the Sony Pictures Animation campus in Culver City. The three-building campus at 9050 Washington Blvd. in Culver City was put up for auction on August 26, 2026, after the original date being announced as August 12. By California law, a non-judicial foreclosure requires a mandatory 90-day reinstatement period after a notice of default, followed by at least 21 days of public notice before a trustee can hold a sale.
Hackman Capital Partners took on the property in January of 2021, and Sony Pictures Animation moved out in 2024, leaving the building vacant for an unsustainable length of time.

Fortress Investment Group has reportedly won the bidding, with multiple sources reporting a price of $71 million. The value of the campus has declined radically, with the sale coming in at 57% less than the property sold for in 2021.
More than one-third of Culver City offices sat vacant during the second quarter of 2026, according to Colliers.
