Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 37-unit SRO apartment building was originally built in 1923 as a 39-room hotel and converted to residential use in 2010. At conversion, the property received new tile flooring, doors, sinks and faucets, fresh paint, smoke detectors, and a security system. The unit mix includes 21 SRO units with shared bathrooms and 16 SRO units with private en-suite bathrooms. Each floor is served by two bathrooms and two shower rooms for shared-bathroom tenants. Building amenities include a large lobby, a ground-floor leasing office, and basement storage area (approximately one quarter the size of the building footprint, not reflected in the recorded square footage).

The property is located along a primary connector between Downtown LA and surrounding neighborhoods, with immediate freeway access and a 100 TransitScore. The ground-floor includes one retail space along 8th Street currently occupied by a mini market, and the revenue profile is further supported by a large billboard with direct 8th Street frontage.
