The subject property for sale is a prime development opportunity located at 210 N Berendo Street, Los Angeles CA 90004. Located just 0.2 Miles away from the Metro Red Line Station at Beverly and Vermont, tenants can benefit from the great location and numerous eateries nearby. Zoned LAR3-1 with a lot area of 7500 sq. ft., the site offers multiple development options under current zoning and recent legislative incentives. This site presents significant upside potential through various development pathways, including maximizing density through ED1 affordable housing incentives or Small Lot Subdivisions.

Through ED-1 you can potentially build 50+ units. Please consult a qualified architect, structural engineer, and dry utility consultant to verify the physical feasibility and ensure compliance with relevant building codes and standards. A savvy investor also benefits from of the current cash flow the property is generating through the current tenant in place while going through the planning and development process. Property currently has a Family Child Care tenant that is paying $6,000 per month ($72,000 year) and the term is set to expire at the end of March 2026. As a result of the neighborhood's charm and desirability, there is robust demand for housing and long-term rent growth. The asset's location along with the development incentives are an excellent acquisition for a developer or long term investor.

Condition Rating
Tear down

The MLS description explicitly states this is a 'prime development opportunity' and that the existing 1921-built structure is 'likely a tear-down for redevelopment or would require substantial renovation.' The property's value is clearly based on the land and its potential for high-density development (50+ units). There are no interior images provided, which strongly suggests the current residential condition is not a selling point and is likely unlivable or requires demolition, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria where the structure is beyond repair and value is based solely on the land.
