About Victor Coleman
Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO of Hudson Pacific Properties, appeared on the Kersh Connection podcast in April 2026. He discussed the company's recent capital raise, stating that Hudson Pacific raised $700 million in three days last summer, with a book that approached $3 billion, which he described as "turning the faucet on." Coleman also commented on the state of Los Angeles' office market, saying the city is "not back to work full-time" and that workers are "not in their offices," calling the situation "shocking" and noting that Los Angeles is "the largest city in the country by far." During the interview, Coleman contrasted Los Angeles with San Francisco, where he said a combination of AI, technology, a young labor force, and what he described as a pro-business approach from Mayor Dan Lurie helped drive a comeback. He also discussed the broader entertainment industry, suggesting that production is leaving Los Angeles. The conversation touched on his background, including his previous role at Arden Realty and the company's strategy of leaning back into office investment.
