Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, announced the sale of the Westside Collection, an eight-property, 212-unit multifamily portfolio located in the Westside region of Los Angeles County, California. The total sales price is $72.65 million, which equates to $342,688 per unit.
“Previously owned by the same partnership for over 30 years and on the market for the first time in decades, these unrenovated apartment buildings are in premier West Los Angeles submarkets that have demonstrated extremely strong demand for luxuriously renovated apartment homes,” said Kevin Green, IPA senior director. Green and IPA’s Joseph Grabiec and Greg Harris represented the seller, a private partnership and procured the buyer, a private multifamily investment firm. “The extremely high cost of a single-family home in Westside is prohibitive for most residents but the area’s incomparable mix of urban and outdoor lifestyle amenities and proximity to major employment centers are a strong draw for highly educated professionals,” added Grabiec.
Residents of the Westside Collection are within a five-to-25-minute drive of 100 million square feet of office space in Silicon Beach, Hollywood, and Downtown Los Angeles. Among Westside’s many notable employers are Netflix, Facebook, Apple, Google, Universal Studios, and Viacom. Prominent areas such as Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Sunset Strip, and Beverly Hills are nearby, as well as rapidly growing destinations, including Downtown Culver City and Koreatown. The locations also provide access to natural areas such as Venice Beach, Will Rogers State Historic Park, and Runyon Canyon.
