Your food amenity, answered.
Tenants want great food in the building. Colony delivers it three ways, from lunch catering to a full Colony location, run by the team that already feeds LA’s offices.
Three ways to feed a building. One that works.
Tenants want good food downstairs. Here’s how the usual options compare, and why even a restaurant that lasts still leaves them eating the same lunch.
| Build a food hall | Lease to one restaurant | Colony | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up-front cost | Millions | Tenant improvements | Shared with Colony |
| Time to open | Years | Months | Weeks for catering |
| Who runs it | You, plus ten tenants | One operator | Colony |
| Variety | High, if it fills | One menu | Ten+ menus, always rotating |
| If it struggles | Empty stalls | A dark storefront | We swap the brand, not the tenant |
| If it lasts | Ongoing operations and constant tenant churn to manage | One menu that people grow tired of | Colony runs it, always bringing in the newest and most popular brands |

Good questions.
For owners and asset managers of office towers, campuses and mixed-use buildings in West LA.
What is Colony Post?
Colony Post is a food amenity we set up inside your building: a lobby market café staffed for the lunch peak, grab-and-go kiosks the rest of the day, and daily group ordering for the floors above from Colony members and curated neighborhood restaurants. One footprint that feeds the whole building.
Why would I add it?
Because food is the amenity tenants notice every day, and because of what the food is. Colony Post stocks products from local restaurants, bakers and makers who cook at our two Colony locations, many of them small brands that can’t get onto a big grocery shelf. A building with Colony Post is easier to lease and renew, gives employees a reason to come in, and makes you the landlord who backs local food entrepreneurs instead of the one with a vending wall. Your tenants’ lunch dollars go into the local food economy and come back as a better amenity.
Why not just lease the space to a café operator?
Single-operator lobby cafés fail on menu fatigue and thin lunch windows. Colony rotates product from a roster of established local brands and layers group ordering on top, so the space earns from the whole building, not just walk-ups. We’re a licensed food-service management company, not a single restaurant.
Where does the food come from?
From the Colony network. Restaurant members supply hot food and grab-and-go, hourly operators and local makers supply snacks, baked goods, drinks and packaged products, and Colony’s own culinary team fills the gaps. What your tenants buy tells us what to stock next, so the mix in your building gets sharper the longer it runs.
What does the building need to provide?
A space we can bring to health-department spec (a small no-hood kitchen and display refrigeration is plenty), plus a partner on the tenant side: email access, floor signage and a tenant discount program. The more a building promotes the market, the faster it takes off.
How is a deal structured?
Every building is different. We’ll model your building’s traffic and come back with a concept and a proposed structure; typically the landlord supports launch and Colony operates. We’re happy to talk through options on a call.
Who staffs and insures it?
Colony hires, trains and manages the on-site team, holds the health permit, and carries general liability coverage naming the building as additional insured.
What size building makes sense?
Buildings and campuses with a few hundred or more people a day, especially those that allow outside customers. Smaller buildings can work as a kiosk-only or group-ordering-only program.
How do we start?
Send us the floor plan, the current food setup (if any) and your daily badge-in count. We’ll come back with a concept for your building.
