101 S. Mariposa Ave Los Angeles, CA 90004

Located in the vibrant Koreatown community of Los Angeles, 101 S. Mariposa Avenue offers a rare development opportunity with RTI (Ready-To-Issue) permits in place. The existing property features a charming single-story bungalow with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a welcoming front deck, and ample driveway parking. The approved plans allow for the construction of a brand-new, four-story contemporary co-living development.
The new project will feature 27 private studio suites, each thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of modern urban living. The building will encompass approximately 8,656 square feet on a 4,796.5 square foot lot, designed with contemporary finishes, energy-efficient features, a full sprinkler system, and full compliance with the latest seismic and building codes.
Situated just minutes from USC, UCLA, LACC, and LMU, the property benefits from a strong demand for rental housing, making it ideal for student housing or co-living operations. Similar co-living suite prices in Koreatown typically range from $1,300 to $1,500 per month, providing a compelling income model. The estimated annual rental income is approximately $437,400 or higher, with projected investor returns between 9.5% and 11.4%.
Importantly, this property is located in a non-rent-controlled area, providing greater flexibility and advantage for rental income growth compared to rent-controlled zones. Rental rates are forecasted to increase by approximately 5% annually from 2026 through 2030, offering significant long-term growth potential.
Furthermore, this location is poised to benefit from upcoming global events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, which are expected to further boost real estate values across the city. 101 S. Mariposa Avenue offers an outstanding opportunity to invest in a high-demand, centrally located project ready for immediate development and long-term success.
