Bank of Hope has signed a new headquarters lease at Aon Center, located at 707 Wilshire Blvd. in Downtown Los Angeles. Colliers and Carolwood LP secured approximately 50,000 square feet of office space in the tower for the bank, which was founded in Los Angeles and is relocating its main office from a site on the outskirts of downtown.
The move places Bank of Hope at the intersection of Wilshire and Hope, a location that aligns closely with the institution’s brand identity and provides a recognizable address within the city’s central business district. The new headquarters setting is described as a highly amenitized environment intended to support both employees and clients while positioning the bank more directly within Los Angeles’ core business community.
Adam Tischer, senior vice president at Colliers, commented that there is a natural synergy in the bank’s new address and highlighted the advantages of being situated in the heart of the city. Tischer is part of the property’s ownership group, which also includes principals Daniel Abrams, Andrew Shanfeld, and Adam Rubin. This group acquired Aon Center in December 2023, and the Bank of Hope lease represents a notable headquarters commitment at the building following that acquisition.
As leasing advisors for 707 Wilshire, Colliers vice chair Matthew Heyn and executive vice president Ian M. Gilbert brokered the lease agreement on behalf of the landlord, Carolwood LP. Their role included representing ownership interests in securing Bank of Hope’s headquarters relocation to the tower.
On the tenant side, Avison Young principal Hayden Eaves represented Bank of Hope in the transaction. His assignment focused on the bank’s requirements for a headquarters location that could offer a central business address and a workplace environment designed to serve the needs of both staff and customers.
The lease underscores ongoing leasing activity at Aon Center under the current ownership group and reflects continued corporate interest in centrally located, amenitized office space in Downtown Los Angeles. While detailed lease economics were not disclosed, the approximately 50,000-square-foot commitment marks a significant headquarters relocation within the downtown office market.
