A 20-unit mid-size multifamily property at 5200 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, sold August 2016 for $3,400,000 — approximately $170,000 per unit.
2016 was mid-cycle for LA multifamily. Pricing had firmed meaningfully from post-2008 lows. Strong bid across stabilized inventory.
Hollywood is one of the most-demanded mid-city LA submarkets, with deep institutional interest and a predominantly pre-1978 building mix that now falls under the revised LA City RSO.
Mid-size multifamily in this unit range attracts both private investors and smaller institutional buyers, particularly on value-add theses.
Set against the rest of the Hollywood record, this is the 11th largest of the 24 Hollywood apartment buildings Michael Sterman has closed.
At $170,000 a unit it sits below the Hollywood median of $282,589 — which is what size does to a per-unit number. This building is larger than the median Hollywood closing at 19 units, and per-door pricing falls as unit count rises almost everywhere in Los Angeles. A citywide average per unit is not information; the comparable set has to match the building's size.
Other Hollywood closings the same year: 1325 N Gardner (27 units, $9,100,000), 1444 N Vista St (18 units, $5,625,000).
This transaction is part of the Sterman Multifamily Group closed archive — over fourteen years at Marcus & Millichap.
