AKS Stages is a California-based service provider offering soundstages for photoshoots, commercials and other productions. In 2019, AKS Stages worked with CIM’s Leasing team to sign a five-year lease on a 34,571 square-foot building in the Shadow Mountain Industrial Park near Burbank, CA.
With a background in television and film production, the owners of AKS Stages created the well-designed, well-maintained, service-oriented destination they had often wished for when scouting their own locations. Their distinctive offering has been well-received in the production community, and business was running smoothly until all productions were halted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
CIM’s Leasing team worked with AKS Stages to accommodate their needs during the pandemic and extended their lease by two months to help offset the production time lost. When productions were approved to move forward, AKS Stages was prepared to accommodate renters with appropriate social distancing and
sanitation measures.
The production community responded enthusiastically, contacting AKS Stages to book more space than its existing building could accommodate. The owners realized they needed more room to meet the growing production demand and contacted CIM about opportunities to expand. CIM negotiated an additional 15,000-square-foot location across the road from AKS Stage’s building, and the company is slated to take over the additional space early in 2021.
