EMPIRE LANDING BY CASDEN PROPERTIES OPENS IN BURBANK MEDIA DISTRICT; WELL LOCATED TO EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, TRANSIT, RETAIL & BOB HOPE AIRPORT
- Resort-style apartment complex offers unique private townhomes with up to 4 bedrooms and attached garages
BURBANK, CA - Empire Landing (www.empirelanding.com), 276 craftsman-style, luxury apartment homes set on seven landscaped acres in the heart of Burbank's entertainment and media district at the corner of Buena Vista Street and Empire Avenue, will open for first move-ins on August 1. The residential complex is developed by Casden Properties, among the best regarded and best capitalized multi-family companies and a leader in urban resort-style apartment development.
A transit-oriented development, Empire Landing is within walking distance of the Bob Hope Airport Metrolink station. It is also close to two major freeways – I-5 and I-134 - and Bob Hope Airport. It is an ideal location for those working at the many entertainment and media companies in the area as well as in downtown Los Angeles and Glendale. It is minutes from several movie studios, downtown Burbank and the Burbank Town Center. Residents also are within a short walk of the 900,000-square-foot open-air Burbank Empire Center with dozens of popular retail stores. A two-acre park, Kid's Castle, and public recreation center are immediately adjacent.
"Empire Landing brings our high level of design, services and convenience plus a wide range of styles and prices to this job-rich area," said Alan Casden, CEO of Casden Properties. "We expect many who work nearby will find Empire Landing a great place to live and will choose to enjoy the personal and financial benefits that come from reduced commuting times."
Designed by Johannes Van Tilburg, FAIA, of the award-winning firm Van Tilburg, Banvard & Soderbergh, Empire Landing comprises craftsman-style residential buildings set in lushly landscaped gardens. The low-rise complex offers resort-style living with recreational amenities and resident services and is fully gated with a guard-staffed entry. It also includes 1,000 square feet of retail space that will be filled with resident-serving convenience shops.
The apartment selections include one and two-bedroom configurations ranging from 760 square feet to 1,140 square feet. An innovative choice at Empire Landing is a private townhome with an attached two-car garage. These townhomes offer two, three and four bedrooms as well as live/work space in sizes ranging from 1,120 square feet to 1,585 square feet. There also are 28 affordable flats that have been pre-leased.
Every residence at Empire Landing has a private patio, many with views of the nearby mountains, and nine-foot ceilings. Other standard features are gourmet kitchens with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, limestone finished fireplaces, large oval soaking tubs, full-size walk-in closets, in unit washers and dryers, and state-of-the-art technology wiring. Starting prices range from $2,200 for a one-bedroom apartment, $2,800 for two bedrooms and $3,400 for townhomes.
The 5,500-square-foot clubhouse is elegantly appointed and includes a residents' lounge, executive business center and conference room on the first floor. A state-of-the-art fitness center on the second floor is equipped with Technogym machines, the top fitness line among 5-star resorts and hotels worldwide. It is exclusively for resident use. A full-sized swimming pool with a spacious sundeck and spa complete the recreational facilities available to Empire Landing residents.
A Resident Services staff member is on-site to assist residents with a variety of needs such as pick-up and drop off of dry cleaning and laundry; housekeeping arrangements; daycare; pet-sitting and dog walking; couriers, FedEx, UPS and postal service; assistance in the business center; restaurant reservations; airport transport and discounted passes to events and theme parks. As at other Casden properties, Empire Landing residents will enjoy established relationships with local vendors and restaurants that provide discounts exclusively for residents.
Casden Properties has built some of the finest residential properties in Los Angeles including the Palazzo Westwood Village and the Palazzo and Villas at Park La Brea.
