    Overview

    Santa Monica Canyon Development Opportunity

    Located in the Santa Monica Canyon, this rare development opportunity is situated one-fifth of a block from the beach. The property, with a Santa Monica mailing address but governed by Los Angeles City building codes, is located between W Channel Rd and backs onto Chautauqua Blvd. The total lot size is 17,136 square feet, comprised of four separate parcels. These parcels, to be sold concurrently, currently include two four-unit buildings, a single-family house, and a vacant lot. The current zoning, LAC2, could allow for 30 units, and an R-4 density bonus could potentially allow up to 59 units if parking limits are met. One of the four-unit buildings, located at 153 W Channel Rd, offers ocean views and has a current gross income of $139,016 per year, with three units vacant at the close of escrow. The other four-unit building, located at 157 W Channel Rd, is a two-story structure built in 1928 with canyon and ocean views and a current gross income of $158,532, with three units being delivered vacant at close. The single-family home, approximately 1500 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, also offers some ocean views and will be vacant at the close of escrow. The projected rent for this home is $96,000 yearly. The vacant lot is 4488 square feet and is currently used as a garden. Preliminary development feasibility studies have been conducted, and renderings are available from Ketter Construction and development firm for a 30-unit building with one commercial space and a gym, which could later be converted to an ADU. The property's potential market rent is $444,000 at a 4 cap.
