About this property

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously remodeled 11-unit apartment building in one of Santa Monica’s most coveted North of Wilshire locations. 1017 5th Street offers the rare combination of a true trophy-quality location, high-end renovated units and investment returns that are exceedingly difficult to find in prime Santa Monica. Offered at $5,485,000, the property generates a compelling 5.39% current cap rate and 13.07 GRM, providing investors with unusually strong in-place cash flow for an asset of this quality and location. The investment becomes even more compelling on pro forma rents, reaching approximately a 6.69% cap rate and 11.03 GRM, with roughly 19% remaining rental upside. The property has undergone extensive upgrades and features beautifully remodeled, high-end units designed to attract Santa Monica’s premium renter base. This is not a heavy value-add project requiring years of construction, tenant turnover and capital expenditures. The work has largely been done, creating an exceptionally easy-to-own and easy-to-manage asset with strong income from day one.
