Preserve views,
while reducing heat
and glare.
3M™ Sun Control Window Film
Night Vision™ Series
CBRE — Los Angeles, California
•	 Project Scope
The demand for office space in the central business district of Los
Angeles has grown dramatically in recent years; and in the Bunker Hill
section of downtown L.A. sits an architectural gem — 400 South Hope
Street.
Built in 1982, the 26-story building encompasses an entire city block and
has more than 700,000 square feet of Class A office space.
“We’re now headquartered in this
remarkably beautiful space; and both
our employees and clients can focus
on the dramatic views, and all of the
other benefits, without fighting the
heat and glare problems.”
— John Bonomo, CBRE’s
Director of Operations
•	Situation
CBRE Global Investors, a worldwide leader in real estate
investment management, purchased the building in 2012.
The parent company, CBRE, Inc., chose to relocate its global
headquarters there, and focused its sights on a unique space
— the atrium-like 25th and 26th floors. Laid out in a tiered
mezzanine configuration with huge sloped skylights, the space
provided spectacular views of the L.A. area. However, the same
massive skylights that made the space unique created a number of
challenges.
“Previous tenants told us that it wasn’t the most comfortable
space,” said John Bonomo, CBRE’s Director of Operations. “First,
there was massive heat gain through the skylights. Second, there
was a huge issue with glare.”
One previous tenant had gone so far as to use umbrellas in
an effort to reduce the effect of all the direct sunlight. CBRE,
however, had a great deal of experience with a product
specifically designed to address the issues: 3M™ Window Film.
“We’ve done a number of projects for CBRE over the years,” said
Brad Campbell of Campbell Window Film in Huntington Beach,
California. “The company understands that window film offers the
easiest, no-maintenance solution for rejecting heat, blocking glare
and preserving the building’s aesthetics.”
•	Solution
Campbell said building owners will consider shades or other
mechanical applications for blocking sunlight, but they
can present additional problems such as breakage and high-
maintenance cleaning needs. After reviewing the options with
CBRE, the team chose the 3M™ Sun Control Window Film Night
Vision™ 15 for a variety of reasons, including reduced heat gain
and glare, and a low interior reflection that helps preserve the
spectacular views that make the space so enticing.
One of the project’s challenges was the mere size of the
skylights. With roughly 11,000 square feet of glass, installation
required the building of massive scaffolding that took a week to
construct and a week to tear down. Once the scaffolding was in
place, Campbell’s installers took about a week to apply the film,
ultimately giving CBRE a cooler, more inhabitable space.
•	Result
“We’re absolutely thrilled with the way this project turned out,”
Bonomo said. “We’re now headquartered in this remarkably
beautiful space; and both our employees and clients can focus on
the dramatic views, and all of the other benefits, without fighting
the heat and glare problems.”
It’s not the first time Campbell and 3M Window Film have proven
to be a valuable partner for CBRE.
“CBRE has a huge portfolio in the Los Angeles area alone,”
Campbell said. “We’ve worked with them for more than
10 years to find solutions for energy efficiency, aesthetics
and sustainability, and we’ve made a big difference.”
