Starting with #5...

5. LOS ANGELES: The Coffee Bean Headquarters

Coffee Bean’s world headquarters are for sale, since they are moving to a larger facility. The sale is unusual since it includes a single-family house adjacent to the larger office buildings, spelling a good owner / user opportunity. The property would be ideal for investors who want a highly-trafficked location, easy access to the 10/405, frontage along busy La Cienega Boulevard and income from the billboard on site.

4. MALIBU: Multifamily Buildings

Total space: 11,854 sq. ft.

Category: Multifamily

This 12-unit Malibu apartment complex is situated on approximately 3.4 acres of ocean view land. The property is only a street-crossing away from Escondido Beach, boasting an enviable location. Apartments can be renovated, redeveloped for condos or a residential estate. The listing price of the property is definitely due to the relatively high cost of land in Malibu. If and when sold, the apartments would be one of the most expensive multifamily properties sold in LA County, in terms of price per unit.

The San Dimas Corporate Park is a suburban business complex located in San Dimas, CA – 25 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles. As in any suburb commercial development, the property has plenty of surface parking – 264 spaces to be exact. According to CoStar, all two floors of the building are vacant, so it may be a great owner/user opportunity.

Stillwater Investment Group bought this building (as well as San Dimas Corporate Center - #2 on this list) just last month and is apparently looking to flip this property very quickly. The complex is nearby the 210/57 highway intersection, allowing for convenient travel in all directions. Like #2, both of the building’s floors are vacant. At $19.7 million, the WesCorp building is the most expensive listing in LA County so far in March.
