Deal Story

This was a tough one and took a good amount of time to get to the finish line. We originally listed this property May 2021 and we came to market at $1,995,000. In order to cast the widest net, we were marketing the property as an investment, as an owner occupied property, and also as a redevelopment play so that we could reach all different types of buyers. We had recently worked on a few development sites in Venice and saw that there was good demand, but we quickly realized that the property's tenants and the COVID moratorium on evictions would probably make it hard for a developer to buy this. From an investment standpoint, the main challenge was our original list price was under a 3% CAP rate due to the low paying, rent controlled tenants. The CAP rate combined with a very high $1,113 per square foot made this difficult to sell to a normal investor.
