1320 E. Imperial Avenue
Office | 11,494 SqFt
Marketing description
Matthew Luchs and Chase Cohen of Zacuto Group, as exclusive advisors, are pleased to present for sale 1320 E Imperial Ave, El Segundo, CA 90245, a ±11,494 square foot, two-story creative office building positioned along the Imperial Avenue corridor in one of the South Bay's most supply-constrained and high-barrier commercial submarkets. Located in the heart of El Segundo, widely known as the "Aerospace Capital of the World" and a core node of greater Los Angeles' tech, aerospace, and media economy, the property offers an owner-user or investor a rare opportunity to acquire a flexible creative asset minutes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the I-405 and I-105 Freeways, and the region's deepest concentration of innovation-driven employers.
Situated on approximately ±7,950 square feet of land (0.18 acres, APN 4139-011-038) and zoned ESC2, the property provides flexible creative office and flex research-and-development use within a city renowned for its business-friendly environment, lower occupancy costs relative to neighboring Westside submarkets, and exceptional access to a highly educated workforce. The building’s efficient ±5,747 square-foot floor plates, two-story configuration, and on-site parking make it well suited for a single owner-user headquarters or a value-add multi-tenant repositioning.
Originally built in 1962, the building offers creative character with the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of users, including creative office, technology, design, aerospace-adjacent, and flex R&D tenants. Building signage along Imperial Avenue provides branding visibility within a dense, established commercial corridor, while the property’s walkable proximity to El Segundo’s downtown, Smoky Hollow creative district, and surrounding amenity base enhances tenant and employee appeal.
El Segundo’s commercial base is anchored by global leaders in aerospace, defense, technology, and media, including SpaceX, Raytheon, Boeing, Mattel, and Chevron, creating sustained, diversified demand for well-located creative and flex space. With roughly three-quarters of the city dedicated to commercial and industrial use and minimal new supply of infill creative product, the submarket has historically demonstrated durable occupancy and long-term value stability.
1320 E Imperial Ave represents a rare opportunity to acquire a flexible, well-located creative asset with branding presence, on-site parking, and long-term optionality in a premier, high-barrier South Bay submarket. The property’s combination of location, flexible zoning, and submarket fundamentals positions it as an ideal acquisition for owner-users and investors seeking a foothold in one of Southern California’s most resilient commercial markets.
