543 N FAIRFAX AVE, LOS ANGELES, CA 90036-1715

543 N Fairfax Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a freestanding commercial property on one of Los Angeles’ most recognizable retail corridors. The asset is positioned just south of the major signalized intersection of Melrose Avenue and Fairfax Avenue, at the signalized corner of Fairfax Avenue and Clinton Street, providing exceptional visibility, access, and long-term identity along a high-traffic stretch of Fairfax.

The ±18,700-square-foot building sits on a ±22,000-square-foot lot with approximately 180 feet of frontage along Fairfax Avenue. This location benefits from traffic counts exceeding 60,000 cars per day at the nearby Melrose intersection, along with consistent pedestrian activity generated by surrounding retail, dining, and neighborhood anchors. Two points of access, from Fairfax Avenue and the rear of the site, allow for efficient circulation and operational flexibility.

The existing improvements are well suited for an owner-user, investor, or repositioning strategy. The layout accommodates retail, showroom, gallery, creative office, or hybrid uses, with strong ground-floor presence and high ceilings, and upper-level office or creative workspace. Interior features include polished concrete floors, exposed ceilings, skylights, a functional kitchen, elevator and stair access, and a basement suitable for storage or support space.

A significant advantage in this submarket is the availability of plenty of on-site parking spaces, including gated and secure spaces, a rare amenity along Fairfax Ave. The property also includes an existing billboard, providing additional income potential.

Zoned C4-1VL and located within a TOC Tier 2 designation, the site offers meaningful long-term flexibility. With the ability to utilize increased density, height, and floor area incentives, the property presents both immediate utility and future redevelopment upside in a supply-constrained corridor.
