Rarely does a piece of residential land (LAR2) of this magnitude come along in one of Los Angeles’ most desirable westside neighborhoods. Over the past five years, there have been a number of new construction “two-on-a-lot” developments in the immediate vicinity of the subject properties. However, given the size of the contiguous properties, a developer should also be able to obtain bonus density and build a substantial number of for-sale townhomes on the property or large apartment building(s).
The subject property is located between Federal Ave. and Colby Ave, South of La Grange Ave., and North of Mississippi Ave. Uniquely located less than half a mile from historic Sawtelle Japantown. Sawtelle Blvd. is widely renowned as one of the best streets for food in all of Los Angeles, featuring a myriad of different restaurants including Tsujita LA, Chichikurin, Daikokuya, Menya Tigre, Sonoritas Prime Tacos, Hermanito, and many others. Due to the incredible restaurants, this area has some of the best foot traffic in all of Los Angeles. The property also benefits from direct access to the 405 and 10 freeways which are located just minutes away, as well as the proximity to UCLA and the upscale Santa Monica shopping and beaches.
Included as a Supplement to this listing is the Offering Memorandum with a Feasibility Study, which includes a plat map with addresses, conducted by a top architecture firm, Ennead Architects, along with a corresponding Land Use Assessment prepared by Somos Law Group, who specializes in land use and real estate transactions.
