EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
WESTMAC Commercial Brokerage Company is proud to present this ±11,019 SF historic commercial property in the heart of Westwood
Village, one of Los Angeles’ most vibrant, pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods. Positioned on a prominent corner with frontage along both
Glendon Avenue and Lindbrook Drive, this irreplaceable venue offers outstanding visibility and immediate proximity to UCLA, Wilshire
Boulevard, major medical and office employment centers, and the Village’s dense retail and dining ecosystem.
Constructed in 1933 and renovated in 1975, the building is widely recognized for its architectural presence: a handsome round red-brick
structure originally called La Ronda de las Estrellas (“the round court of the stars”), a landmark that helped establish Westwood Village’s early
identity. Inside, the property features brick-walled character, expansive rooms, and abundant natural light from large windows, anchored by
a grand atrium with a dramatic circular skylight—a striking design element that created the “destination” feel for which the building became
famous. Multiple levels provide flexible layouts for hospitality, entertainment, and culinary operations, supported by kitchen infrastructure, a
basement previously configured for storage, and an elevator connecting all three floors.
The property carries a rare and meaningful Los Angeles legacy: it was the longtime home of Gardens on Glendon, one of the city’s most
celebrated and popular restaurants for more than 40 years. The last user—Skylight Gardens, a related offshoot concept—closed in 2024,
offering a compelling opportunity to reimagine a proven venue with a deep historical footprint and enduring brand recognition.
A parking covenant provides 80 spaces directly across the street, includi75ng valet service, supplemented by street meters and several nearby
public garages. Set on a ±8,851 SF parcel, the property benefits from heavy daily pedestrian volume generated by UCLA students and faculty,
hospital staff, office workers, and Westwood’s year-round cultural draw—enhanced by nearby institutions including the Hammer Museum,
Geffen Playhouse, and Fox Village Theatre. Excellent freeway access via the 405 and 10 completes a rare combination of character, scale, and
connectivity for West Los Angeles.
