Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Located in Orange County, California, Bel Air and El Commodor are two contiguous, 27-unit properties situated on two separate parcels. The buildings are located just half a mile from the multi-phase redevelopment of MainPlace Mall and within walking distance of CHOC Children’s Hospital and Provident Saint Joseph Hospital. The location offers access to healthcare employment hubs, retail, entertainment, and freeway connectivity to job centers across Orange and Los Angeles Counties. The properties are positioned for rental growth, with below-market rents. The cost differential between renting and owning in Orange County supports renter demand. Historical rent growth in Orange County has been strong, with continued increases forecast. Bel Air and El Commodor offers an opportunity for value-add investors in a supply-constrained housing market amid rising replacement costs for new multifamily development and growing demand for rental housing. The property size is 41353 square feet.

Key Highlights

  • Significant value‑add upside with below‑market rents and potential for outsized rental growth.
  • Prime Orange County location near MainPlace Mall redevelopment, CHOC Children’s Hospital, and Provident Saint Joseph Hospital.
  • Strong renter demand due to the high cost of homeownership in Orange County.

Financial Insights

Estimated NOI and Cap Rate

NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$732,871
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
4.19%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality. Typical U.S. stable-market ranges: Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+) Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand) Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically) Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher) Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk) Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5% Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5% Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term Rules of thumb: Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%). Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C. Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI. Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
