Disney Studios to Open 3-D Computer Animation Complex in Novato CA

A decommissioned Air Force base with vacant dilapidated airplane hangars is fast becoming some of the hottest commercial property in Marin County.  The Hamilton Landing office complex is what the buzz is all about.  Already corporate home to Smith & Hawken and Birkenstock USA, Hamilton Landing has picked up some heavy hitting players in the technology and entertainment industry as well, including Sony ImageWorks, Visual Concepts Entertainment, and Oracle.  And a good thing just keeps getting better…  Walt Disney Studios recently announced plans to move their ImageMovers Digital studios to Hamilton Landing, with plans to be in the new digs before Christmas.

Tenants of the renovated hangars are attracted by the airfield’s sense of history coupled with the very modernist industrial architecture that the curved rooflines and walls of glass offer.  For those wanting to carry the modern design of the workplace into their homes, diligent house-hunting can uncover some fantastic modern homes in Novato, including my brand new listing of a very stylish modern home at 191 Crest Road, that are within a short drive of the hangars.

Novato has received some pretty high accolades recently, including being recognized by BusinessWeek as the “Best Affordable” suburb in California, which provided a boost for homes for sale in Novato.  The infusion of high-tech companies, several of which are internationally known, into Novato can’t help but put Novato real estate back on its feet.
