Lumen West LA: Gensler’s Transformative Workplace Campus in West Los Angeles

Lumen West LA is a major office and mixed‑use redevelopment project designed by Gensler, reshaping the former Trident Center in the Sawtelle area of West Los Angeles into a vibrant, contemporary workplace destination. Positioned on Olympic Boulevard, this ambitious adaptive‑reuse project reflects Gensler’s expertise in reinvigorating existing structures with forward‑thinking design that prioritizes daylight, wellness, and flexibility in urban environments. johnmartin.com+1

The renovation included recladding the twin 1980s office towers with a floor‑to‑ceiling glass façade to invite natural light into interior spaces and connect occupants visually to the surrounding urban context. Gensler also added approximately 115,000 square feet of new office space and elevated bridges that link the two buildings, enhancing circulation and creating dynamic work environments for tenants. At the street level, the project incorporates retail and curated spaces that activate the pedestrian experience along the Olympic Corridor.
