Among Nation's Tallest Gyms
NO 'BALDER' IN BOULDERDASH ROCK CLIMBING
STUDIO; SOON TO OPEN IN WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA




THOUSAND OAKS, CA -- WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA -- Boulderdash Indoor Rock Climbing Studio, reportedly the only climbing gym of its kind between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo, will open in Westlake Village, CA during July after signing a lease for 7000 sq. ft. of high-identity space at the Watercourt mixed-use complex here, announces Westcord Commercial Real Estate Services.

Boulderdash Indoor Rock Climbing Studio signed a seven-year lease valued at approximately $1 million at Watercourt, strategically located on Hampshire Rd., just south of the Ventura Freeway.

Marc Riches and Cory Richmond, commercial real estate specialists for Westlake Village-based Westcord, represented Boulderdash.  Tony Principe, executive vice president of Westcord, represented the landlord.

According to Christiaan Luneberg, who along with Paul Farkas is a principal of Boulderdash, the company offers rock climbing workouts for the novice as well as the "big wall ace".

"We offer fun and challenge for climbers of all ages.   For families, climbing is one sport where you can truly interact with one another.   Climbing is a full body workout as well as an exciting recreational activity which is one of the nation's fastest growth sports.  Moreover, we emphasize safety and exceptional customer service," said Luneberg.

He added the Boulderdash will feature a large air conditioned climbing area with over 10,000 sq. ft. of sculpted climbing surface that is continually altered to ensure "new and exciting challenges".

Luneberg noted that beginning climbers can rise up 25-foot tall surfaces, while the main climbing area rises to 45 feet including slab, arêtes and roofs.  It will be one of the tallest indoor gyms in the country, he said.

Facilities also include dressing and locker area, soda/sport drinks and snack areas, multi-purpose rooms, pro shop, restrooms, and complete gear rentals.

Westcord, which traces its origins in the region to 1969, is a full-service regional company that ranks among the Los Angeles area's top 25 commercial real estate firms, with offices in Westlake Village, CA, and Van Nuys, CA
