The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1965 hotel-to-apartment conversion is a 'heavy value-add' project currently in receivership. While interior images show some units have been updated with modern white shaker cabinets, granite-style countertops, and wood-look vinyl flooring, the property requires over $1 million in remaining capital expenditures for CUP compliance, including significant site work, ADA upgrades, and landscaping. The mix of renovated interiors and substantial deferred exterior/infrastructure requirements places it in the fair category.
The property features a strategic concentration of Section 8 vouchers with pre-approved contract rents up to $1,095, ensuring a reliable and subsidized income stream in a high-demand submarket.
Situated at the Highway 99 interchange with exposure to over 170,000 vehicles daily, the asset benefits from superior regional access and significant signage opportunities.
With major life-safety systems already installed and a clearly defined, permitted scope of work for CUP compliance, the remaining value-add path is transparent for investors.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =118483, other record lot size in square feet = 54014.
Investors must budget for an estimated $1.0M to $1.3M in remaining construction costs plus over $312,000 in mandated impact fees to achieve full stabilization.
Currently at 65.1% occupancy with active evictions and a court-supervised receivership sale, the property requires sophisticated management to navigate the stabilization phase.
We are pleased to present 2700 White Lane, a 149-unit studio apartment community located at the White Lane interchange with Highway 99 in southwest Bakersfield. Originally constructed in 1965 as a hotel, the property has been converted to multifamily use under Conditional Use Permit 23-0642, approved by the Bakersfield Planning Commission on February 29, 2024. The asset is now offered at $7,900,000, or approximately $53,020 per unit, as a court-supervised receivership sale. Attractive seller financing is available to qualified buyers. Call for terms.The two-story, L-shaped property includes approximately 61,500 square feet of building area across 149 studio units averaging approximately 413 square feet each, with kitchenette configurations in a converted-hotel format. The site offers high visibility from Highway 99, a large surface parking lot, a swimming pool, on-site laundry, and access to retail and services throughout southwest Bakersfield.The May 1, 2026 management rent roll reports 150 active entries because it includes a separate Flex Room. Excluding that non-residential entry, the residential rent roll reflects 149 apartment units, 59 vacant residential units, and approximately 60% residential occupancy. This should be viewed as an active lease-up and operational repositioning opportunity, not a stabilized apartment investment. A new owner can create value by completing the remaining site work, continuing the resident transition, leasing the vacant units with disciplined screening, and improving collections and operating performance.Meaningful capital has already been invested in the property. Seller-provided materials report that the fire sprinkler and alarm systems have been completed, and a City of Bakersfield receipt confirms the receiver paid a $491,700 park fee on March 2, 2026. Two recent third-party bids provide budget references for portions of the remaining exterior, accessibility, and site work: $394,284 from Diamond Peak Construction and $461,291 from Pyramid Construction. The bids have different scopes and exclusions, so buyers should review the plans, permits, public-works requirements, utility work, bid exclusions, and remaining CUP conditions during due diligence.The local rent story is supported by the OM rent comparable set and the property's housing-assistance component. The updated model assumes $1,095 in potential monthly rent per unit, while the OM's local studio rent comparables range from $955 to $1,095 per month. The Bakersfield Housing Authority has approved contract rents at the property up to $1,095 per month, providing additional support for the rent assumption subject to buyer verification and applicable program requirements.With 149 units, a court-supervised sale process, an approved multifamily entitlement, seller financing availability, a low acquisition basis, a paid $491,700 park fee, and current third-party site-work bids, 2700 White Lane offers a clear value-add opportunity for an experienced multifamily operator prepared to complete the remaining work and execute the lease-up plan.
