To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Aram Chaparyan, City Manager
By: Eirenne O'Neill, Staff Assistant | [email protected] Subject: City Manager – Authorize Recognition and Attornment Agreement for Sub-tenant of City Owned Property Known as Rolling Hills Plaza (C-053). Expenditure: None.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the City Manager that City Council authorize a Recognition and Attornment Agreement by and among Rolling Hills Plaza, LLC, a California limited liability company, Nordstrom, Inc, dba Nordstrom Rack, a California corporation, and the City of Torrance with a regard to a sublease of City-owned property located at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Crenshaw Boulevard, also known as Rolling Hills Plaza (C-053).
FUNDING
None required.
DISCUSSION
Nordstrom, Inc., doing business as Nordstrom Rack, will become a new subtenant at Rolling Hills Plaza. Nordstrom Rack has entered into an agreement with the master tenant, Rolling Hills Plaza, LLC, to occupy the space formerly leased by Bed Bath & Beyond. The retailer will utilize the majority of the approximately 30,000 square feet of building area.
The Recognition and Attornment Agreement confirms key provisions of the City’s ground lease and affirms Nordstrom Rack’s right to continued occupancy. In the event of a default or termination of the master lease, the agreement allows Nordstrom Rack to maintain its lease and continue rent payments either to the City, as ground lessor, or to a successor ground lessor. This type of agreement is standard practice and provides subtenants with added assurance regarding their tenancy.
The property is located at 2595 Pacific Coast Highway. Prior to this sublease, the space was vacant.

A. Owner is the owner in fee of the parcel of land more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof, lying and being in the City of Torrance, Los Angeles County, California (hereinafter referred to as the “Shopping Center Land”).
B. On or about October 21, 1987, Owner and Lessee entered into that certain Lease dated October 21, 1987 (the “Original Lease”), which was amended by (i) that certain Amendment No. 1 to Lease dated August 28, 1990 (the “First Amendment”); (ii) that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated January 23, 1996 (the “Second Amendment”); (iii) that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated July 15, 1997 (the “Third Amendment”) and (iv) that certain Fourth Amendment to Lease dated July 1, 2022 (the “Fourth Amendment”) (the Original Lease, as amended by the First, Second, Third and Fourth Amendments is herein referred to as the “Ground Lease”).
C. Lessee proposes to sublease, or has subleased to Sublessee certain premises (the “Premises”) on a portion of the Shopping Center Land, together with improvements which are to be (or have been) constructed thereon pursuant to a certain lease dated as of April 27, 2026 between Lessee and Sublessee (the “Occupancy Lease”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce Lessee and Sublessee to enter into the Occupancy Lease, the parties hereto mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. Owner warrants and represents that (a) Owner is the owner in fee of the Shopping Center Land and of the Lessor’s interest in the Ground Lease; (b) Owner has full right and lawful authority to execute and deliver this Agreement; (c) the Ground Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended, and no default exists thereunder either in payment of rent or in the performance of any other covenant of the Lessee thereunder and that all conditions precedent to the commencement of the term of the Ground Lease have been satisfied; (d) the execution and delivery by Lessee of the Occupancy Lease will not constitute a violation of any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease; (e) Owner has a copy of the Occupancy Lease and has reviewed and approved such Lease; and (f) the Ground Lease expires not sooner than March 15, 2049 and that Owner will not enter into any agreement or take any action that will cause the Ground Lease to expire earlier than March 15, 2049.
2. Lessee warrants and represents (a) that it is the owner of the Lessee’s interest under the Ground Lease; (b) it has full right and lawful authority to execute the Occupancy Lease and this Agreement; and (c) the Ground Lease expires not sooner than March 15, 2049 and that Lessee shall not enter into any agreement or take any action that will cause the Ground Lease to expire sooner than March 15, 2049.
3. Owner hereby approves the Occupancy Lease. Owner acknowledges that Lessee has the full right and power to enter into the Occupancy Lease upon the terms, covenants and conditions set forth therein, it being agreed by Owner and Lessee that if the Sublessee shall execute the Occupancy Lease, the Ground Lease shall (notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein contained) be deemed amended to the extent, if any, required to permit the Lessee to assume the obligations and to grant to the Sublessee the rights, powers, privileges and immunities provided for in the Occupancy Lease.
4. Owner agrees that, so long as the Ground Lease has not expired, terminated or been canceled, Owner shall do nothing to disturb or otherwise affect in any manner the quiet possession of the Sublessee under the Occupancy Lease. Owner further agrees that Lessee and the Sublessee shall have the right to amend the Occupancy Lease from time to time.
5. Owner agrees with Sublessee that in the event, for any reason whatsoever, the Ground Lease terminates or is canceled during the term of the Occupancy Lease, including any extension thereof, whether as the result of a default by the Lessee thereunder, notice by Lessee of cancellation thereof or otherwise:
ATTACHMENT 1
2 (a) The Occupancy Lease shall continue for the duration of its terms and any extensions thereof (subject, however, to the rights of the Landlord and Tenant under the Occupancy Lease to terminate the Occupancy Lease as therein set forth) as a direct lease between Owner and Sublessee with the same force and effect as if Owner had originally entered into such Occupancy Lease as Landlord thereunder;
(b) Sublessee shall not be named or joined in any action or proceeding by Owner under the Ground Lease to recover possession of the Shopping Center Land or any part thereof or for any other relief from Lessee; (c) Sublessee shall perform all the covenants and agreements of the Occupancy Lease on its part as tenant to be performed for the direct benefit of Owner and Owner shall perform all the covenants and agreements of the Occupancy Lease to be performed on the part of the Landlord thereunder for the direct benefit of the Sublessee; (d) Owner shall give Sublessee prompt notice in writing of such event (together with essential details and dates); and
(e) From and after receipt by Sublessee of such notice, the payment by Sublessee to Owner of rentals and other payments then due or thereafter becoming due to Lessee under the Occupancy Lease shall constitute full performance of all obligations with respect to such payments actually made by Sublessee but, prior to the receipt of such notice, Sublessee shall have no obligation to make any payment to Owner and shall be deemed to have fully performed in respect of any sums theretofore paid to Lessee in accordance with the provisions of the Occupancy Lease.
6. Owner and Lessee covenant and agree that the Ground Lease will not be modified or amended in any manner affecting Sublessee without the prior written consent of Sublessee.
7. Owner hereby waives any and all liens, claims, demands or rights including, but not limited to, rights of levy, execution, sale and distraint for unpaid rent, or any other rent, interest or lien which Owner now has or may hereafter acquire in any and all trade fixtures and equipment, signs, appliances, furniture and other personalty installed at any time by Sublessee on the Premises leased by Sublessee pursuant to the Occupancy Lease including, without limitation, lighting fixtures, projection and sound equipment and seats (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Sublessee’s Property”). In connection with the financing by Sublessee of “Sublessee’s Property” (by granting a security interest therein or entering into an equipment lease therefore), Owner agrees to execute and deliver to Sublessee an Owner’s waiver and all other documents reasonably required by such lessor or the holder of a security interest in Sublessee’s Property.
8. Owner hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not cause or suffer the creation of a mortgage or other security interest affecting the Shopping Center Land (and any attempt to do so shall be deemed null and void) unless the rights and interests acquired under such mortgage or security interest (“Owner Mortgage”) by the holder thereof are subject and subordinate to the rights and interests of the Lessee under the Ground Lease and the rights and interests of Sublessee pursuant to the Occupancy Lease and this Agreement; provided, however, an Owner Mortgage may be superior to the Ground Lease and Occupancy Lease if there shall be recorded in the appropriate real property records of Los Angeles County, California, an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessee and Sublessee, whereby the holder of the Owner Mortgage, its successors and assigns, agrees that the foreclosure of the Owner Mortgage shall not affect the right to possession of the Shopping Center Land of Lessee and Sublessee pursuant to the Ground Lease and Occupancy Lease, respectively, nor any of the rights, privileges, interests or easements granted to them under the Ground Lease, the Occupancy Lease and this Agreement.
9. Any notice or demand provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to a party at its address first hereinabove given or to such other address as any such party may designate by notice to the other parties.

10. All parties to this Agreement agree to execute such further instruments as may be reasonably requested by another party hereto in order to carry out this Agreement in accordance with the tenor and purpose hereof.
