1915 South Santa Fe Avenue
Prime Owner-User Industrial Opportunity in Central Los Angeles
Marketing description
This rare, family-owned industrial building — held for over 100 years — offers an exceptional opportunity for an owner-user or investor seeking a functional, high-clearance facility in an infill location.
Built in 1923, the single-story concrete structure spans approximately 3,040–3,394 square feet on a 5,320–5,663 square foot lot (buyer to verify exact measurements). It features an impressive 19-foot ceiling height, one (1) grade-level drive-in door, and four (4) on-site parking spaces. The property is currently operated as a long-established machine shop (Eric Machinery), demonstrating its proven suitability for heavy industrial and manufacturing uses.
Zoning & Uses Zoned LAM3 (Heavy Industrial), this property permits a broad range of intensive uses, including automotive repair, manufacturing, machining, fabrication, processing, and related industrial operations. The M3 zoning provides maximum flexibility with minimal residential restrictions, making it ideal for businesses requiring robust operational capabilities. This industrial asset is perfectly suited for automotive, machining, fabrication, light-to-heavy manufacturing, or similar trades. Its compact size and central location make it highly efficient for small-to-medium businesses looking to own rather than lease in a competitive Los Angeles market.
