Property Overview

7000 Franklin Ave is a 14-unit multifamily investment opportunity located at the high-visibility corner of Franklin Avenue and Orange Drive, at the base of the Hollywood Hills. Built in 1950 on a 10,106 SF LAR4-zoned corner lot, the property offers a compelling combination of in-place cash flow, unit reconfiguration upside, and long-term density optionality in one of Hollywood’s most supply-constrained rental corridors.

This property may also be acquired individually or as part of a three-property Hollywood Foothills portfolio totaling 91 units across 1769 N Orange Dr, 1775 N Orange Dr, and 7000 Franklin Ave, offered at an aggregate price of $26,100,000.

Investment Highlights

‍

• High-Visibility Corner Asset
  Situated on a prominent corner lot, 7000 Franklin Ave commands strong street presence and visibility along Franklin Avenue, a key east–west corridor at the base of the Hollywood Hills. This exposure enhances leasing velocity, long-term land value, and future redevelopment optionality.
• Value-Add Through Unit Reconfiguration
  The property includes a documented strategy to enhance yield through internal unit reconfiguration and split-style layouts, allowing an investor to materially increase income efficiency while remaining within the existing building envelope.
• Weighted Toward One-Bedroom Units
  Approximately 70% of the unit mix is comprised of one-bedroom units, appealing to a broader renter demographic including dual-income couples and work-from-home professionals, supporting longer tenancies and reduced turnover.
• Separately Metered Utilities
  The building features separately metered gas and electric, reducing landlord exposure to rising utility costs and supporting a leaner operating expense profile relative to older, master-metered assets.
• Covered Land Play with LAR4 Zoning
  The LAR4 zoning and corner lot configuration provide long-term redevelopment and density optionality while allowing investors to benefit from current income and value-add execution in the near term.

Neighborhood and Accessibility

‍

The Hollywood Foothills / Franklin Village submarket is characterized by high barriers to entry, limited new multifamily supply, and sustained demand from entertainment, media, and technology professionals. Nearby hillside neighborhoods feature median home values exceeding $2M, keeping high-income residents in the renter pool longer.

The property is located minutes from the Hollywood/Highland Metro Red Line, Runyon Canyon, and major studio employment hubs, supporting long-term rental stability and appreciation.
