KW Regional Advisors presents a rare opportunity to acquire three contiguous industrial buildings 3100 S. Broadway, 3130 S. Broadway, and 124 W. 31st Street offered together as a single transaction just south of the Downtown Los Angeles core. The combined offering totals 17,860 SF of building area across three structures on 22,216 SF (0.51 acres) of M1-zoned land. Built between 1950 and 1952, the three buildings have operated for decades as one flexible site, most recently by the ownership family as an owner/user.

This central location, wide-ranging freeway access, and the flexible layout across the three contiguous buildings position the property well for distribution, storage, or light industrial use serving the greater Los Angeles basin. At $2,995,000 ($167.69 PSF), the offering is priced roughly 35% below the trailing 24-month median of $260.68 PSF for comparable Central Los Angeles industrial sales under 30,000 SF (Source: CoStar sales-comp data) an aggressive basis for a well-located, multi-building assemblage.

Four large 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom units in a 1985 built building, the kind of floor plan that keeps tenants in place for decades and rarely comes to market in this pocket of Los Angeles. One unit is delivered vacant and fully remodeled, giving an owner-occupant the option to move in immediately or an investor the ability to reset that unit to full market rent on day one. Because the property was built in 1985, it is exempt from the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance. Rents are governed instead by the state's Tenant Protection Act, which currently permits annual increases of up to 8.7% in the Los Angeles metro area (subject to annual adjustment), nearly three times what an RSO building allows. In-place rents are already strong, but every occupied unit still sits below the vacant unit's market rate, so the next owner inherits both durable current income and a clear, legal path to raise it. The building is turnkey. New roof, well maintained, and off-street parking already in place for tenants with room to add more. Offered at a 9.91 GRM on current income, or roughly 8.77 GRM once all four units reach market. Directly across from Trinity Park and minutes from USC, Downtown, and the 110, the location draws from one of the deepest and most consistent tenant pools in the city.
