The Los Angeles commercial real estate landscape
Los Angeles is one of the largest and most diverse commercial real estate markets in the United States. Combined retail, office, medical, and mixed-use inventory across the metro is measured in the hundreds of millions of square feet, with transaction volume routinely in the tens of billions annually. For investors, that depth means liquidity, multiple exit paths, and credible benchmark pricing.
It also means complexity. Submarket dynamics in Beverly Hills look nothing like Long Beach. Class A office in Century City underwrites very differently than creative office in Culver City. NNN retail in a high-traffic Westside corridor is a different conversation entirely from a multi-tenant strip center on the Eastside. The investors who consistently outperform in LA commercial are the ones working with brokers who can tell those stories apart and underwrite to each on its own terms.
What we source and represent
Stabilized NNN retail
Triple-net retail with national or regional credit tenants on long-term leases. Properly underwritten, these are some of the most passive cash-flow assets in real estate — particularly attractive for 1031 exchange capital coming out of management-intensive product.
Medical office and healthcare
Medical office buildings (MOBs) anchored by health-system tenants or large practice groups offer durable rent rolls, healthcare-driven escalations, and a tenant base that simply does not move easily. A growing share of our 1031 buyers favor MOBs for exactly these reasons.
Office — selective, basis-driven
The post-2020 office story is real, but it isn't uniform. Beverly Hills, Century City, Santa Monica, and select Westside boutique product continue to attract premium tenancy. We underwrite office only where the basis, tenant mix, and lease structure justify the risk — and we walk away from far more office than we recommend.
Mixed-use along LA's strongest corridors
Ground-floor retail with residential or office above along Melrose, Abbot Kinney, Sunset Junction, Larchmont, and the Arts District. Mixed-use offers diversification of income streams, neighborhood-level resilience, and meaningful value-add potential for capitalized buyers.
1031 exchange and commercial real estate
A meaningful share of our commercial buyer activity is 1031 exchange capital — investors trading out of management-heavy multifamily or older commercial product into stabilized NNN, medical office, or institutional-grade retail. The mistake we see again and again is buyers entering the 45-day identification window without a real pipeline. We address that by sourcing replacement properties before the relinquished sale closes — never after.
Disposition: marketing institutional commercial
Selling commercial product in Los Angeles is not a public scramble. We market institutional assets through a controlled, qualified-buyer process: full underwriting package, targeted outreach to vetted principals, structured offer rounds, and a closing process designed to protect value. The result is consistently better pricing and far fewer retrades than open-market exposure.
