TVC 2050 is not for Beverly Fairfax
The redevelopment of Television City (formerly CBS) is a massive project with long-term consequences.

Send an email to the council office and planning department to share your concerns about the redevelopment of Television City at Beverly and Fairfax.
We cannot overstate the magnitude of the expansion being planned. This colossal development will bring traffic and gridlock, thousands of audience show guests parking in the community, and change the character of the entire area by adopting a Regional Center designation.

About the Project
The Beverly Fairfax Community Alliance is a coalition of residents and businesses who are concerned about this massive development and its related impacts on our community, from the enormous expansion of the CBS Television City property by its new owner Hackman Capital.
The TVC 2050 project is too big:
1.725 million square feet, including more than 1.2 million square feet of office space
20-story office building
A 5,000-car parking garage
14 mega sound stages for audience shows
Huge production base camps utilizing 18-wheeler production trucks
The TVC 25050 project will triple the size of the existing development on the CBS property, with the addition of office, production and retail space – resulting in a nearly 1,725,000-square-foot complex. The expansion would create a 20-story building and will be more than two times the density and two times the height of the Beverly Center.
The existing CBS Television City campus is an historic icon in our community, regarded as a responsible neighbor in the Beverly Fairfax area.
Massive congestion and skyrocketing rents
This new plan will create traffic gridlock on our already-congested streets, with nearly 8,000 workers and 14 audience sound stages capable of holding over 300 audience members each.
Large construction and production trucks will clog Fairfax, La Brea, Beverly, Third Street, and our residential streets.
Moreover, the project contains no new housing for its approximately 6,000 new employees, which will foreseeably push community rents even higher than they are today and lead to the displacement of existing renters.

Massive Development
An enormous increase over the current development with 1.7 MILLION square feet of uses. It would be more than two times the density of the Beverly Center and more than two times as tall.
More Gridlock
With a new 5,300-spot parking structure, 8,000 projected daily workers, and thousands of audience members at 14 sound stages, the project will result in gridlock on our streets. TVC 2050 visitors will park in residential neighborhoods, denying street parking to residents and their guests.
Dump Trucks for Years
770,000 cubic yards of DIRT being hauled in and out, requiring over 120,000 trips by large 20-ton trucks driving through and polluting the community! That’s just for the excavation work. There will be tens of thousands of additional truck trips for hauling construction materials to the site.
Long-term Construction
Construction timeline of up to 20 YEARS, bottlenecking our communities with street closures and trucks hauling millions of tons of steel, concrete, and materials.
Even those accustomed to living with LA traffic and parking nightmares will be shocked at how much worse it can be.
