the building (for an estimated $250,000; equivalent to $ after inflation) when they abandoned their contracts with the studio in 1982. Columbia felt constrained by restrictions imposed by the owner, including a closing time of 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. The owner then sold it for $1.2 million, and it was quickly reacquired for $4.5 million ($ after inflation). The building was later demolished. A 10-story residential apartment building called "The Wilshire", completed in 1985, was built on the site.
