THE CENTER FOR
BUSINESS & ENTERTAINMENT
THE THIRTY MILE ZONE
Long before it became a television ratings sensation, the TMZ was - and remains - the coveted location for studios
and entertainment support. In the American entertainment industry, the TMZ is the area marked roughly around a
30-mile (50 km) radius from the intersection of West Beverly Boulevard and North La Cienega Boulevard in Los
Angeles, California. The Center is well within this zone which allows a production company to avoid additional travel
requirements and expenses.
This area not only charms, it is embued with the entertainment spirit and shows no signs of waning. Buoyed by
its pro-business environment and its diverse, creative local talent force, the Santa Clarita Valley continues to
reign as one of Hollywood’s most sought after destinations. It currently boasts more than 20 working sound
stages and 3,500 acres of movie ranches. A myriad of hit shows and films including The Mentalist,
NCIS, Shooter, CSI, Antartica, Westworld, Blunt Talk, Criminal Minds, Modern Family, Fresh Off the
Boat, Melrose Place, Big Love, Sons of Anarchy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Ted 2,
Furious 7, Whiplash and Pirates of the Caribbean II & III - among others- have all called this
area home.
Moreover, The Center is less than one mile away from the current Disney Golden
Oak Ranch and future $300 million Studios at the Ranch.
