The property was built in 1925, making it nearly 100 years old. The listing explicitly states it is 'sold for lot value' and includes 'RTI Plans for 3 modern architectural units,' which clearly indicates the existing structure is intended for demolition and redevelopment. The provided images are all renderings and architectural plans for the proposed new construction, not the current house, reinforcing that the current structure is considered beyond repair or significant renovation for modern use.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Shovel-Ready Development: The property comes with 'RTI Plans for 3 modern architectural units' and is described as a 'shovel ready project,' significantly reducing pre-construction time and risk for developers.
High-Density Potential: Plans include three substantial units, each with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, totaling 15 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms, offering significant future rental income or resale value.
SB 8 Exemption: Being 'Sb 8 exempt' provides a streamlined development process, potentially bypassing certain local regulations and accelerating project completion.
Prime Location: Located in 'mid city' with '5 minutes to Culver City,' offering excellent access to a vibrant area with amenities, entertainment, and employment opportunities, enhancing future unit desirability.
Value-Add Opportunity: Sold for 'lot value' with approved plans, this presents a clear opportunity for investors to build new, high-value residences in a desirable Los Angeles market.
Cons
Demolition Required: The property is sold for lot value, indicating the existing 1925 structure (2 beds, 1 bath) will likely require demolition, adding to initial project costs and timeline.
Significant Capital Outlay: Beyond the purchase price, the project demands substantial capital investment for the construction of three large, modern units, which may limit the pool of potential buyers.
Development Project Risks: Despite being shovel-ready, all construction projects carry inherent risks such as potential cost overruns, construction delays, and market fluctuations affecting future sales or rental income.
