MUST SELL! | 19 Units | 6.02% Cap | Koreatown
Partially renovated asset in Heart of Koreatown with over 20% upside
Marketing description
THE OPPORTUNITY: 514 Mariposa is a best-in-class, 19-unit value-add opportunity located just north of Wilshire Boulevard in the heart of Koreatown—one of L.A.’s most sought-after and supply-constrained rental submarkets. The building has already undergone a substantial renovation program, with 12 of the 19 units upgraded to a luxury spec and achieving market-making rents that rival new construction—but at a meaningfully lower basis.
The unit mix includes 17 large one-bedrooms and 2 studios, totaling approximately 12,294 square feet on an 11,250 square foot LAR4-zoned lot. Renovated interiors feature quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, split-system A/C, custom tile, and updated baths with deep soaking tubs. All units are separately metered for gas and electricity.
