CBRE Facilitates Full-Floor Lease for The Sentinel Firm at 707 Wilshire Blvd

CBRE has arranged a full-floor lease totaling 20,459 square feet at 707 Wilshire Blvd. in Downtown Los Angeles on behalf of The Sentinel Firm, APC.

CBRE’s Christopher Penrose represented The Sentinel Firm, an employment and personal injury law firm, in the transaction. Carolwood is the landlord.

The Sentinel Firm entered the Downtown Los Angeles market in 2023 with a 2,641-square-foot sublease at Union Bank Plaza. In 2024, CBRE facilitated the firm’s move into a 6,439-square-foot sublease. With this latest lease, the firm more than triples its footprint, marking an expansion and reflecting its steady growth over the past three years.

“We’re seeing more tenants expand in downtown L.A. as they recognize the advantages of being centrally located,” Penrose said. “Access to a larger talent pool, walkable amenities, and reverse commute patterns make this market increasingly attractive for growing firms. The Sentinel Firm’s expansion underscores a long-term commitment to the area and reflects the broader momentum we’re seeing.”

707 Wilshire Blvd. is a premier office tower offering panoramic views, modern amenities, and direct access to transit, dining, and entertainment. “We’re excited to be expanding into 707 Wilshire,” said Seung Yang, founder of The Sentinel Firm. “This new office reflects our steady growth and gives our team the resources to keep raising the bar for our clients, while remaining deeply connected to the Los Angeles community that has supported our success.”
