4 takeaways

  1. 1

    The number is simple — and that is the point.

    Closed price $4.2 million on 5,486 SF is $765 per building square foot. We publish the arithmetic so owners can compare their own basis without a black-box “broker number.”

  2. 2

    Storefront product is location first.

    Robertson corridor retail is not generic strip. Traffic, frontage, and use mix matter as much as SF. Treat $/SF as a starting calibration for Los Angeles County Westside product — not a rule for the IE or North OC.

  3. 3

    Track-record transparency beats rumor comps.

    This sale is on our published closed-sale strip. When we do not have a defendable source, we leave the cell blank rather than guess a cap or NOI.

  4. 4

    Owners should ask what their roll implies.

    If your LA County assessed value implies a higher economic value than recent corridor sales support, that is an assessment conversation — not a reason to invent a tax savings claim on this page.

This is Entry № 3 of The Retail Tape — a WCA-closed storefront retail sale on South Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles County.

Closed price: $4,200,000. Building area: 5,486 square feet. Implied price per square foot: $765.

Source for the price and SF: Williams Capital Advisors published track record (Team Profile closed-sale data already used on this website). Cap rate, NOI, and assessed value are not stated on this entry because we do not have a client-facing cite we are willing to publish here.

What a broker sees

I am keeping this entry as a clean calibration point for Westside storefront retail in Los Angeles County: a known closed price, known SF, and a clear $/SF.

What I am not doing is dressing it up with an unsupported cap rate, rent roll, or buyer identity. Those details, when we have them from a listing process or public record we can cite, will get their own source lines.

If you own similar product — small SF, high-visibility retail — the useful questions are: where is your basis relative to $765/SF, what does your tenancy look like, and does your tax roll still assume a stronger market than the corridor will pay today?
