The old Weider Building in Woodland Hills sold

[Ron]

Many memories in that building when it was the Weider Headquarters out in Woodland Hills... but with AMI buying the magazines a while back, and consolidated it, the Weider offices closed more than 5 years ago.  I still have pictures from the last day in the offices.


Vacant Woodland Hills office building sells for $12.7 million

A limited liability corporation has purchased a Woodland Hills office building for $12.7 million with plans to use the property as a medical laboratory and flagship corporate location. The 41,058-square-foot office building at 21100 Erwin St. had been sitting vacant for five years, according to Chase Cohen, an associate in Marcus & Millichap’s Encino office, which brokered the sale. “We generated multiple offers and the sale closed at $115,000 above the list price, achieving one of the highest prices per square foot of any office building larger than 20,000 square feet to sell in the Warner Center submarket in the past two years,” he said.

In marketing the property, Marcus & Millichap brought in potential buyers from a variety of industries, including entertainment, medical, hospitality and manufacturing. But 21100 Erwin St. LLC ultimately emerged as the buyer. Built in 1971 and previously the home of Weider Health & Fitness, the property is on a one-acre parcel at the corner of Variel Avenue and Erwin Street, directly across from the Q East mixed-use development project. Cohen and four coworkers at Marcus & Millichap represented the seller, Warner Center Building LLC, and 21100 Erwin St. LLC was represented by T.C. Macker of Westmac.

Some ghosts of muscle are there, no doubt.

Likely a stash of soiled bodybuilders thongs in a secret wall cavity where Joe Weiders office once was...

I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

In 1971 I'd no longer been a resident of Woodland Hills for about a decade. So, I missed the era of Weider Health & Fitness. But, I understand how bittersweet so called progress can be. Change is hard, and it only gets more difficult the older I've become.

Ron, you are likely too young to remember Vic Tanny's gym in Reseda. My friend and bodybuilding mentor took me to that gym when I was still a punk kid. Going there was an introduction of sorts into bodybuilding. Eating a cheap steak at Sizzler after working out with him was my first post workout meal experience. Both are history now all in the name of progress.

First cock-garblings in the washroom stalls more like it.

Wonder how many delusional drug addicts waddled into that building over the years and had Joe touch them while they posed for his overpriced monthly homosexual whack-off booklet.

Schmoe and his Down brother made millions a year while the addicts he pimped made peanuts.  They had to “Play the game” in order to place in the pageants.  Hahahaha..... 

What a sorry existence....

TRUE STORY from the late 1980's-  My Dad was a Social Services worker, and they had to do "Home Visits" to Welfare recipients who were "At Risk" and he
told us of having to check up on a clearly gay client who he said had a jar of VASELINE and a pile of Muscle Magazines beside his night table!!!

Hey, RON, PRIME, Do you recall the name of the company that was a bit east of Weider's office which rented professional motion picture cameras and ens?

And what was the name of that great delicatessen on Ventura Blvd. that served great Kosher Pastrami sandwiches? I kinda/sorta recall that it was attached to a bowling alley and that the original delicatessen was further east on Ventura in the vicinity of Gironda's Gym.

And did you ever 'fine dine' at Zucky's over thar in Santa Monica? Closed now ... and forever!

Or the GERMAN's just off the Venice Beach pit? (Also closed and gone forever!)

Everyone who lifted heavy things back in them good old days fine dined in them frequently! I believe the the FireHouse is the only one remaining.

Do you remember if your Dad said the future Mayor of Bodybuilding's alternative lifestyle parents had a nice house?
