Epicenter’s goal to provide premier Los Angeles locations for cutting edge businesses continues as PMF and Uber bring the self-driving Volkswagen ID. Buzz fleet to L.A.
(Los Angeles, Calif.; February 26, 2026) – Epicenter Landcorp, a private real estate investment group, announced today the signing of a long-term lease with ParkMyFleet (PMF), the premier nation-wide provider of fleet management services, for Epicenter’s landmark property at 6435 Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles. Located in the heart of the iconic Hollywood neighborhood, the land will be the site for PMF’s groundbreaking collaboration with PMF tenant Uber Technology, the world’s leading ride-sharing company.
Uber will deploy VW’s all-electric autonomous driving ID. Buzz vehicles (photo below) at PMF’s new facility. Outfitted with ample power for EV charging stations, high tech security and several service bays, the Hollywood property will serve as the flagship location for the strategic PMF/Uber partnership. PMF will serve as the master tenant providing all necessary fleet services, with Uber as the sub-tenant, on Epicenter’s property at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Cole Ave.
Under a partnership with Volkswagen announced last year, Uber plans to offer a robotaxi network for shared rides that shuttle multiple passengers. According to the Los Angeles Times, Uber plans to launch the Los Angeles service early this year, and testing has begun.
Vasco Noya di Lannoy, Epicenter’s Chief Investment Officer, commented: “The long-term lease with Uber/PMF marks the culmination of a long-term value creation strategy. Over more than a decade, we assembled separate parcels into a city block and repositioned them as transportation-oriented assets. This transaction reflects ELC’s long-standing strategy of acquiring prime properties individually and combining them to create greater value.”
Epicenter Managing Partner Mikel Elliott, who has been championing disruptive business and technology strategies since his days as a leading developer of film studio stage spaces throughout America, thinks the ParkMyFleet lease epitomizes 21st century development in Los Angeles.
“I am thrilled that ParkMyFleet is bringing its expertise with state-of-the-art mobility hubs to our city,” said Elliott. “I look forward to seeing the millions of Los Angeles residents and visitors experiencing the efficiency of PMF, Uber and the all-electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz in solving our area’s transportation needs.”
