This A+ Studio City location "North of the Boulevard" provides unparalleled access to employment opportunities, such as the CBS studios within a block of the property and some of LA's iconic landmarks and culinary destinations, including the famous Sushi Row on Ventura Boulevard (0.2 miles) steps from the property. The nearby Carpenter Community Charter offers excellent educational opportunities, further enhancing the appeal for family-oriented tenants. Studio City, known for its strong demographics and limited competing luxury rental housing, vibrates with cultural and commercial vitality, fueled by its proximity to major entertainment and media hubs. Strategically located at the nexus of accessibility and architectural significance, this property stands as a prime asset in a vibrant and evolving market. It offers investors the potential for significant appreciation and robust returns (over 5.5% in-place CAP), bolstered by sustained high demand from tenants who are drawn to the area's dynamic lifestyle and the elevated experience of occupying a Schindler masterpiece. Additionally, the well-maintained asset presents an opportunity for further value creation through systematic enhancement of unit interiors as they turn over, which will attract tenants willing to pay premium rates for rentals that offer exclusive outdoor spaces and a connection to Southern California's architectural heritage, increasing the property's appeal in a high-demand rental market. ***Note: Property NEEDS to be sold with adjacent property***
