More Insights

Built in 1919 (106 years old).
Condition: Built in 1919, the property is explicitly marketed as a 'development-ready site' with 'Ready-to-issue (RTI) plans' for a new 9-unit complex. The listing's weakness highlights the 'Age of Existing Structures' and 'potential for high demolition costs.' The exterior images show a very dated structure with visible wear, and the only interior image is virtually staged, indicating the existing interior is likely in poor condition. The absence of actual kitchen and bathroom photos further supports that the existing structures are not intended for habitation in their current state, and their value is primarily in the land for redevelopment.

About this home

***Reduced $475K from original listed price - $240 Land PPSF by Sunset & Gower - Development Plans in Docs Section*** 1514 La Baig Ave is a duplex (delivered vacant) located on a 5,499 SF lot in the center of the Hollywood Media District; just two parcels north of Sunset Blvd. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a development-ready site in a dynamic growth corridor, surrounded by major film and media employers, new mixed-use development, and transformative infrastructure investment. The property neighbors a new 109-unit apartment complex by CIM, across from Sunset Bronson Studios and Emerson College, and adjacent to the Netflix headquarters campus. A block away, the much-anticipated $1 billion "The Star" tower, designed by Norman Foster, is set to redefine the local skyline and inject over half a million square feet of new Class A creative space. The property comes with Ready-to-issue (RTI) plans to develop a 9-unit market-rate multifamily complex. Plans call for (1) 2-bdrm. unit, (3) 1-bdrm. units, and (5) singles. This site is eligible (buyer to verify) for Opportunity Zone tax benefits, and is aligned with the recently enacted Hollywood Community Plan, which significantly increases allowable density, incentivizes affordable housing, and encourages transit-oriented growth throughout the Sunset and Hollywood corridors. The existing improvements include (2) 1-bdrm. bungalow-style units that are separately metered. The property also features covered and surface parking, and a standalone garage. 1514 La Baig is a forward-looking investment in a creative corridor that continues to attract capital, talent, and transformative growth.

Premier Hollywood Media District Location: Situated in the heart of the Hollywood Media District, adjacent to Netflix HQ, Sunset Bronson Studios, and Emerson College, ensuring high demand and strong rental potential.
Favorable Zoning & Growth Environment: Aligned with the Hollywood Community Plan, allowing for increased density and transit-oriented growth, supported by significant local infrastructure and commercial investments like 'The Star' tower.
Opportunity Zone Eligibility: Potential for substantial tax benefits through Opportunity Zone designation (buyer to verify), enhancing investment returns.

Cons

Substantial Price Reductions: The property has undergone significant price reductions ($475K from original list), which may signal initial overpricing or market resistance, requiring careful valuation.
