The potential purchase would grant the streaming platform direct ownership of a major Los Angeles studio facility. According to The Wrap and The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is currently one of the largest tenants for Hudson Pacific Properties. The Wrap reported that the company leases more than 700,000 square feet of office and production space from the real estate firm in Hollywood. [1][2]

Netflix operates as an American subscription video-on-demand streaming service that distributes original and acquired television series and films globally. The company continues to assess its physical footprint as production facilities and studio real estate needs shift across the entertainment industry. [1][2][5]
