Description

The subject property is a 6-unit apartment building located at 1754 15th Street in the Mid-City area of Santa Monica. Built in 1962 on a large 7,493 square foot lot zoned SMR2, the building consists of six 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units totaling approximately 5,408 square feet, including two larger units of roughly 1,025 square feet. Two units have been remodeled, and the property is 100% occupied with covered parking. The generous lot also creates meaningful ADU potential: the tuck-under parking and multiple large storage rooms connected to the garage could be converted into accessory dwelling units, giving a new owner a path to additional rental income. Ownership has invested approximately $137,000 in capital improvements since 2016, taking care of many of the major items a buyer would otherwise face. Recent work includes a seismic retrofit compliant with Santa Monica's soft-story ordinance, a new main electrical panel with new sub-panels in each unit, SB 721 balcony inspection with the staircase rebuilt and recoated, full copper repipe, a recoated roof with a new roof treatment, new rain gutters, a new rear concrete driveway, and an upgraded security camera system. Current rents average about $2,041 per unit, while comparable 2-bedroom units in Santa Monica average significantly more. Pro forma rents of $3,000 represent approximately 51% upside and a 7.05% cap rate as units turn over. The property sits just south of Olympic Boulevard, within walking distance of the Expo Line's 17th Street/SMC station and Santa Monica College. UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center and Providence Saint John's Health Center are each about a mile away, with downtown Santa Monica and the 10 Freeway close by. In one of the most supply-constrained rental markets in Los Angeles County, 1754 15th Street offers an investor a well-located, all 2-bedroom building with a long runway of rental growth.
