From the article:
According to the company, the sale is “part of a much longer-term strategy to have The Jim Henson Company and our renowned Burbank-based Jim Henson’s Creature Shop under one roof, which is not feasible in Hollywood due to the space the Shop requires.”
At the time that the family acquired the lot, Lisa Henson, CEO of the Jim Henson Company, described the space as a “lovable hodge-podge of quirky, unusual spaces. There are unexpected elements in some of the offices, like original vaults and fish-tank-like bathrooms. It’s not your typical corporate space, but it’s ideal for the Muppets.”
The lot doubled as The Muppets Studio in 2011's The Muppets and has become a key part of the company’s Puppet Up! live show, which takes place in one of the soundstages.

The lot has been the headquarters of the Jim Henson Company since 2000 and the company intends to continue as a tenant at the La Brea location for the foreseeable future.
