LOS ANGELES, CA – Avison Young, the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firm, announced today that it has brokered the $13.8-million sale of Wilcox Townhome Apartments, a 26-unit apartment property built in 1990. The property is located in Hollywood, one of the country’s most desirable submarkets for multi-family investment.
Avison Young Principal Peter Sherman, based in Los Angeles, represented the seller, Sierra Wilcox LLC. The buyer, Pepper Lane Properties, was represented by Sperry Van Ness.
“The multi-family market in Los Angeles continues to display strength,” comments Sherman. “Well-located 1980s-1990s vintage assets like Wilcox Townhome Apartments, which leverage strong demographics and millennial demand, are highly desirable. We received outstanding investor interest which resulted in the $530,000 per unit price. The seller of this property saw this as an ideal time to realize a significant return on investment, and the buyer acquired an irreplaceable property with terrific bones and a path to push rents higher.”
