Hawthorne Apartment Buildings

Hawthorne has the clearest employment story in the South Bay right now and no local rent control to constrain what that employment does to rents. Those two facts together make it price differently from anything inside the City of Los Angeles, and sellers who benchmark against LA City comparables understate their position.

Michael's Take
Hawthorne has the clearest employment story in the South Bay right now, and it has no local rent control — AB 1482 governs, which means income growth of 5% plus CPI rather than an LA City building's 3%. No Measure ULA either. What that combination produces is a market where buyers will pay for the rent roll's growth potential rather than just its current level, which is the opposite of how an LA City rent-stabilized building trades. Sellers benchmarking against City comps understate their position.
