Crestline Secures Pre-development Financing for an Ultra-Luxury Mixed-Use Development on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip

July 24, 2025

Los Angeles, CA — Crestline Investors, Inc. ("Crestline") is pleased to announce the closing of a $35 million predevelopment mezzanine loan to Silver Creek Development ("Silver Creek") for 8850 Sunset Blvd, a forthcoming premier mixed-use project on West Hollywood’s iconic Sunset Strip.

8850 Sunset will feature a luxury branded 90-key hotel, an equally branded 78-unit multifamily building, high-end ground-level retail anchored by the iconic Viper Room and two high-visibility billboards. The medium-term bridge facility will refinance existing debt and support final construction planning as the project advances towards groundbreaking in late 2026.

“We are thrilled to partner with Charles’ team at Silver Creek, whose deep expertise, strategic vision and hands-on approach are instrumental in bringing this iconic project to life” said Seb Trujillo, Vice President at Crestline. “Located in an iconic corridor with strong walkability and proximity to major attractions, the property will redefine the Sunset Strip experience with luxury hospitality, elevated residences, and state-of-the-art retail offerings.”

“Working with Crestline was a natural fit given the timely capital solution needed to maintain momentum on this development,” added Charles Essig, Managing Director at Silver Creek Development. “Their ability to deliver flexible financing ensures we remain on track to create what will be a landmark destination on Sunset Boulevard.”
