INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
This 7,250 SF RD1.5-1XL zoned lot will be delivered with Ready-to-Issue (RTI) permits for a 5-story, 50-unit multifamily development in the heart of Hollywood, one of Los Angeles’ most dynamic and supply-constrained rental markets. The approved plans feature 49 one-bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom unit, designed to meet the ongoing demand for efficient, high-quality housing in an amenity-rich urban environment.
Located in the Hollywood Media District, 827 N McCadden Pl offers exceptional access to employment hubs, production studios, entertainment venues, dining, and public transit. The site is within walking distance of Santa Monica Blvd, Highland Ave, and Melrose Ave, and benefits from its location within a TOC Tier 3 zone, providing valuable density and parking incentives.
With RTI permits secured, the project is shovel-ready, enabling developers to move directly into construction—saving valuable time and eliminating entitlement risk. The location, unit mix, and zoning make this project ideal for a range of strategies including market-rate lease-up, mixed-income delivery, or use of HACLA or voucher-based programs.
As Los Angeles continues to push infill development in job-rich and transit-connected neighborhoods, 827 N McCadden Pl represents a rare, ready-to-build opportunity in one of the city’s strongest and most resilient rental submarkets.

The property is positioned just south of Santa Monica Boulevard and west of Highland Avenue, providing immediate access to major corridors including US-101, Sunset Boulevard, and Hollywood Boulevard. The site benefits from proximity to Metro B (Red) Line stations, multiple bus routes, and regional transit connections, supporting strong commuter access to Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Koreatown, and the broader LA basin.
The Hollywood Media District attracts a dense, renter-oriented population comprised primarily of working professionals, creatives, and small households. Housing demand is driven by proximity to major employers in media, entertainment, technology, hospitality, and creative services, as well as access to transit and urban amenities. The area supports consistent rental absorption and long-term demand.
Housing in the Hollywood Media District is highly supply-constrained, with limited entitled development opportunities and strong competition for well-located rental product.

Residents benefit from walkability to neighborhood services, entertainment venues, and employment centers while maintaining access to transit and regional mobility.
The area is served by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and is located near a mix of public, charter, and private school options. The property also benefits from proximity to higher-education institutions and vocational programs across Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, and adjacent submarkets, supporting continued rental demand.
