News Corp、Fox Interactiveの全従業員を新施設に集約へ

News Corpのオンライン部門のほとんどをコントロールする子会社、Fox Interactive MediaはPlaya Vistaの新施設を12年間賃借する契約に調印した。これに伴いカリフォルニア南部のFIM傘下の全ての企業は2009年の6月以降、この新本部への入居を開始する。FIMとMySpaceの将来に関しての疑問を一掃しようとするかのような大規模は引っ越しになるようだ。新施設は 30万平方フィートにのぼる商業施設地区で、「Horizon at Playa Vista 」と呼ばれる巨大開発プロジェクトの一環だ。（上の写真は新本部ビルの完成予想図）。

EA、Rubin Postaerその他の企業も移転してくるので、この地区は急速にロサンジェルスのニューメディアの中心となりつつある。

Fox Interactive Mediaの社長、Peter Levinsohnの部内向けメモ〔英文〕を下に掲載した。

About a year ago, I communicated with you about our space and parking challenges, and our ultimate plan to find a facility that could accommodate all of our LA-area team in one location. After an extensive process, I’m thrilled to inform you that we have found the ideal location for Fox Interactive Media’s new headquarters.

The new facility is located in Playa Del Rey (Horizon at Playa Vista http://www.horizonatplayavista.com/) and houses more than 300,000 square feet of commercial space. Playa Del Rey is the first newly-built community in Los Angeles in over 50 years and has become a creative hub for technology companies, including EA, the largest video game company in the world. The site itself should be amazing – including an exclusive gym, internal and external eating facilities, volleyball courts, and lots of green space for outdoor activities. Just beyond the newly-built facility will be a host of restaurants, shopping locations and living options.

FIM has experienced phenomenal success in its three-year history, and we have plans for even greater growth and achievements in the coming fiscal year. Given our tremendous track record, it’s only fitting that we should enter into the single biggest real-estate transaction in Los Angeles in the last 25 years. When we move to our new facility between June of 2009 and January of 2010, not only will we enjoy the distinction of having one of the largest corporate headquarters in the LA area, but we will be housed in a state-of-the-art facility that reflects our corporate identity and culture.

In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be providing you with more information about the site and the surrounding area. We’ll also provide a schedule for the phased move, as soon as those details have been decided.

I have appreciated your patience during the past year, as we’ve shifted groups to new locations to manage our growth and endured numerous space constraints and challenges. Soon, we will have an opportunity to collaborate more effectively, as well as to create a work environment that speaks to the creativity and innovation that has come to be synonymous with Fox Interactive Media.

I hope you are as enthusiastic as I am about this exciting milestone for our company.

Peter Levinsohn
