Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This vacant, fully cleared development site offers immediate readiness for entitlement and construction planning. The property is approximately 7,005 square feet and was previously advanced to Ready-to-Issue (RTI) plans for a 33-unit project. The site has also been envisioned for a Mixed Income Incentive Program (MIIP) development accommodating approximately 38 units, with alternative density pathways under AB 1287 and the City’s Affordable Housing Incentive Program (AHIP) potentially supporting up to approximately 52 units and up to six stories of development.

Situated on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles’ Sawtelle (“Little Osaka”) corridor, the location is described as minutes from UCLA, Brentwood, Century City, Santa Monica, and Silicon Beach, supporting a multifamily demand-oriented setting.

The combination of a cleared parcel and previously progressed planning documents may help reduce early development friction while allowing flexibility to pursue the stated density pathways.
