Commercial Real Estate
Office, retail, and net-leased commercial investments.
From a single net-leased pharmacy on Wilshire to a Class A office floor in Century City, we underwrite commercial real estate the way institutional investors do — by tenant credit, lease structure, and replacement cost — across every Southern California submarket.
Frequently Asked
Investor questions, answered.
What types of commercial properties does California Luxury Investments handle?
We specialize in office buildings, retail strip centers, mixed-use developments, industrial warehouses, and net-lease NNN properties throughout Los Angeles County and the Greater LA area.
What is a cap rate and why does it matter for commercial real estate?
A cap rate (capitalization rate) is calculated by dividing net operating income by the purchase price. It measures a property's income-generating potential — a 5-7% cap rate is typical for LA commercial properties, with higher cap rates indicating better immediate returns.
How does California Luxury Investments help with 1031 exchanges on commercial properties?
Our team guides investors through the full 1031 exchange process — identifying like-kind replacement commercial properties within the 45-day identification window and closing within 180 days to defer capital gains taxes.
What is triple net (NNN) leasing and is it a good investment?
In an NNN lease, the tenant pays property taxes, insurance, and maintenance on top of base rent — creating passive, low-management income for the property owner. NNN-leased properties with national tenants (CVS, Starbucks, McDonald's) are among the most stable commercial investments.
How do I evaluate a commercial property investment in Los Angeles?
Key metrics include cap rate, gross rent multiplier (GRM), vacancy rate, tenant creditworthiness, lease terms remaining, and zoning flexibility. Our advisors provide full underwriting and due diligence analysis for every commercial acquisition.
What areas in Los Angeles does California Luxury Investments focus on for commercial real estate?
We cover commercial markets across Beverly Hills, Century City, West Hollywood, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Culver City, Koreatown, Mid-Wilshire, and downtown Los Angeles — including office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use assets.
