Old Xerox building
From Lostpedia
The Old Xerox building is a 32,600-square-foot property in Honolulu that formerly housed the soundstage for indoor sets in season 1 and season 2 such as the Cave scenes. Lost's soundstage and offices have since moved to the Hawaii Film Studio.
The Old Xerox Building is the informal name of this property because it formerly housed the offices of Xerox corporation. The building had been the site of an infamous 1999 mass murder of seven employees, and Xerox soon left the property (moving to the Kakaako area of Honolulu), which had lain vacant ever since until the coming of Lost five years later in 2004. It is speculated that Lost therefore obtained favorable lease rates due to the stigma of the crime.
The Old Xerox Building is located at the corner of Nimitz Hwy. and Iwilei Ave at 1200 N. Nimitz Hwy., and is nearby the former offices of Grass Skirt Productions in Dole Cannery Shops. These offices have since also moved to the Hawaii Film Studio.
