Background

Constructed in 2020, The Bixel Lofts is a new construction trophy asset comprised of 9 condo-quality units that are not subject to LA City Rent Control. This modern gem was previously listed with another top-performing multifamily team and received minimal activity. With an impressive recent new construction track record, the Seller turned to Kenny Stevens Team to get the job done.

Challenge

Despite the incredible amenities, strong tenant profiles, and the promise a gentrifying neighborhood, interested buyers felt the price was steep compared to other new construction projects in the neighborhood. Kenny and Max knew they were looking for a “needle-in-a-haystack” 1031 exchange buyer who would appreciate the quality of construction and stable cash flow.

Result

Through our marketing initiatives, Max and Kenny identified an outside agent with a 1031 exchange client that needed to close quickly. Our Seller was thrilled to accept an offer at $4,850,000, and escrow closed 30 days later. At $700 per foot, the sale of 321 N. Bixel sets a price per foot record for new construction projects in Los Angeles County.

Speaking for myself and everyone involved, you were absolutely the best broker we could have selected to market our portfolio. You found an incredible buyer and were able to guide us through so many challenges, including a global pandemic, and secured us a price beyond our expectations.
