Charles Dunn Co. Completes $4 Million Sale of Vacant 17,131-SF Office Property in Los Angeles to Medical Office User

John C. Anthony

 LOS ANGELES, CA – Charles Dunn Company, one of the largest full-service regional real estate firms in the western United States, has completed the $4 million sale of a vacant, two-building, 17,131-square-foot office property near the Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood markets.

John Anthony, Chris Steck, and Chris Giordano of Charles Dunn Company represented the seller, 1616 Beverly Boulevard, LLC. The buyer, Thomas Leslie Cantor, was represented by Regional Realty & Investment.

Located at 1616 Beverly Blvd. and 118 Union Place near the 110 and 101 freeways, the property is situated on nearly one-half acre of land and includes a surface parking lot providing direct access to both buildings.

“The San Diego-based buyer plans to use the property for medical office use,” said Anthony. “Owner/user sales on the Beverly Blvd. corridor are strong as it is a major thoroughfare connecting to Downtown, Silverlake, and Hollywood.

“As rental rates rise and vacancy tightens, many Los Angeles-area businesses are looking to buy property for long-term stability of office space expenses.”

Anthony added that the buyer paid all-cash and escrow closed in just seven days.
