HUDSON PACIFIC PROPERTIES ACQUIRES 10950 WASHINGTON BLVD.,

EXPANDING ITS LOS ANGELES AREA OFFICE PORTFOLIO

TO 1.5 MILLION SQUARE FEET

LOS ANGELES – December 22, 2010 – Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE:HPP) has completed the $46 million acquisition of 10950 Washington Blvd. in Culver City, Calif. from an affiliate of Embarcadero Capital Partners LLC. Located in one of West Los Angeles’ premier entertainment business districts, the 158,873-square-foot office property is 99.5 percent leased, with an average lease term of five years. The $46 million acquisition includes the assumption of an existing $30 million loan.

Set on 5.5 acres, the property consists of an 86,987-square-foot, three-story office building and a 71,886-square-foot building containing office space, two sound stages and a café. NFL Enterprises is a major tenant occupying 95,570 square feet consisting of office space and the two sound stages used exclusively to broadcast the company’s NFL Network.

“Our team has worked extensively as an owner and operator of premier office properties in the Los Angeles area, and the region is one of our top targets for continued expansion. We have considerable experience with media companies, such as NFL Enterprises, and tailor our property operations to meet their specific needs. This acquisition is an ideal fit as we grow our portfolio of top-quality office properties in the greater Los Angeles area and continue to build our position as an owner and operator of assets with strong interest from media, entertainment and technology tenants,” said Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties.

Bob Safai of Madison Partners advised Hudson Pacific Properties on this transaction, which was completed directly with the seller.

The acquisition is Hudson Pacific’s third in this market since going public in June, bringing the company’s Los Angeles area portfolio to approximately 1.5 million square feet. In August, it acquired both the six-story, 58,484-square-foot 9300 Wilshire office building in Beverly Hills, Calif. and the five-story, 113,000-square-foot Del Amo Office building in Torrance, Calif.
