3756 Santa Rosalia Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90008

INVESTMENT OVERVIEW

This ±65,546 SF development site presents a rare dual-value investment opportunity: a fully RTI-approved multifamily project for 269 residential units alongside an existing ±80,000 SF medical office building generating in-place income.

Approved plans call for a 6-story residential structure with 80 studios and 189 one-bedrooms, designed for maximum density and operational efficiency. Unit sizes range from approximately 300–443 SF, aligning with high-demand workforce and affordable housing strategies. The efficient layout, combined with flexible leasing potential, positions the residential component for a variety of funding models—including LIHTC, ED1, voucher-based, or market-rate.

Located in the heart of the 90008 ZIP code, near Leimert Park, Baldwin Hills, and the Crenshaw Corridor, this asset sits at the intersection of urban revitalization and long-term demographic growth. 

With close access to the Metro K Line, Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Mall redevelopment, Culver City, and Downtown LA, the site benefits from excellent regional connectivity and is well-positioned to serve LA’s growing renter base.

The existing medical office structure allows for cash-flow generation during predevelopment or phased construction, giving investors a hedge against holding costs and interest rate risk. Additionally, its strategic location near healthcare facilities and underserved communities offers long-term repositioning or adaptive reuse potential.

The TOC Tier 3 designation, coupled with an RTI permit in hand, provides entitlement certainty, speed to market, and access to public and private capital—making this project especially attractive in today’s constrained pipeline.
