5826 Carlton Way presents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant multifamily asset in the heart of Hollywood. Built in 1924 by Paramount Pictures to house its actors during the Golden Age of cinema, this character-rich property—known today as Carlton Canyon Apartments—offers a blend of classic architecture and modern living amenities.
Offered as a portfolio sale at $8,550,000, the package includes the 38-unit apartment building priced at $7,750,000, and a separately parceled 4,468 SF parking lot across the street listed at $800,000. Zoned Q R4-1VL, Tier 3 TOC, the lot presents a compelling development opportunity. While a high-density build of ~20 units is feasible, a more straightforward approach could be a 3-story multifamily structure with fewer units.
The two parcels are described under separate APNs with no covenant tying them together, allowing a buyer to sell them individually if desired. Some tenants have parking as a lease provision, while others hold it under addenda, creating flexibility for future parking income or redevelopment plans.
The building is operating at a 4.31% cap rate based on current income, with a market upside to 8.19%. It trades at a 13.5 GRM (market: 8.77) and a low $215K per door. The unit mix consists of 1 bachelor, 35 studios, and 2 newly built ADUs. Approximately 25 units have been remodeled, 75% of tenants are on RUBS, and the property features new copper wiring, sporadic copper plumbing, and landlord-owned basement laundry for additional income.
