Up until now, SAG-AFTRA has been the only major Hollywood union that didnt own its own headquarters.

Many thanks to this collaborative effort for bringing our union into this new chapter of ownership.

It also reflects our commitment to innovation and sustainability.

The Screen Actors Guild bought its first offices on Sunset Boulevard in 1956 for $200,000.

It was the first wholly-owned headquarters in the unions 23-year history and until now, the last.

There was even a brass band.

The guild had the option to buy the $6 million former church, but leased instead.

It didnt stay there long, though, outgrowing the building as its membership and staff rapidly expanded.

SAG moved into its current headquarters in the historic Museum Square building at 5757 Wilshire Blvd.

AFTRA moved in four years later; they merged in 2012.

Three years later, another dedication ceremony was held when Museum Square was renamed SAG-AFTRA Plaza.
