Miracle Mile is an infill, supplyconstrained submarket in the midst of a renaissance that is generating incredible demand for luxury rental product. With current ownership having recently invested heavily in curing deferred maintenance and renovating common areas, the Preston offers investors the most efficient way to satisfy this demand through a thoughtful renovation strategy of unit interiors. Newer properties within walking distance are proving out as much as $1,000 in rent headroom, offering investors the opportunity to drive rents by completing a unit interior renovation program that would appeal to LA’s high-income, luxury-seeking renters.
With escalating construction costs, a lack of available land, and a notoriously onerous entitlement process, the Mid-Wilshire market has one of the highest barriers to entry of any submarket in the nation. in fact, over the past 5 years the submarket has only seen the development of two institutionally sized apartment communities (One Museum Square and Vision on Wilshire), both of which are highrise construction. With no projects under construction, The Preston presents a unique opportunity to not only gain access to this exclusive submarket, but also to acquire quality podium construction asset at well-below today’s replacement cost
Since 2012 the Mid-Wilshire submarket occupancy averaged 96.1% and annual rent growth averaged 4.3%, which was higher than the Los Angeles market as a whole (3.9%). With employees returning back to the office, a new owner has the opportunity to take advantage of the submarket’s strong rent growth that will average 4.3% annually over the next three years. The property is currently seeing positive rent momentum, with recent lease tradeouts averaging +17.4% over the last 12 months.
Located at the geographic center of Los Angeles, Miracle Mile is just four miles from the myriad of jobs, retail and entertainment in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Hollywood and century city. Additionally, with a Walk Score of 94, the property is just one block from Ralphs and Rite Aid; two blocks from LA’s renowned “Museum Row”; three blocks from major media and entertainment companies like CBS Radio, Sundance Institute and SAG-AFTRA; and within a 15-minute walk of The Grove, LA’s premier 600,000 sq. ft. outdoor lifestyle center. By 2024, residents will have two brand-new metro stations within a few blocks that will take them to Downtown in under 15 minutes thanks to the $9.5 billion Metro Purple Line extension currently under construction.
there is no question that a well-executed renovation of the Preston’s unit interiors would generate substantially higher rents. 12% of units are in original 1989 form and 88% of units interiors underwent a modest renovation program that was conceived almost 10 years ago. A new owner has the opportunity to implement a comprehensive interior renovation strategy across 100% of units that would transition the Preston from a property geared toward “2010 renters” to one that attracts LA’s high-income renters seeking luxury living in a hip, urban environment.

Onni Group is pursuing a redevelopment project that would more than double the existing office space at the Wilshire courtyard complex located two blocks from the Preston. Plans call for the construction of two high rise office towers totaling 2.34 million sq. ft. of office space. Upon completion, the new office complex would put Miracle Mile on the map as having the tallest building in LA west of Downtown.
the Natural History Museums of LA county announced that it would be undertaking a major new Master Plan and renovation process for the La Brea tar Pits, including the existing museum, excavation sites, and other parts of the 13-acre site where the institution is located. the winning concept, called “La Brea Loops and Lenses,” would include a one-kilometer walking path connecting the Page Museum, the excavation pits, and the iconic lake pit and mastodons.
construction is well underway on the $9.5 billion Metro Purple Line extension that will ultimately connect Westwood to Downtown along Wilshire Boulevard in under 25 minutes. in addition to delivering a brand-new metro station within a few blocks of the Preston, the expansion project is also serving as a catalyst for accelerated growth in Miracle Mile, spurring increased private sector investment, economic growth, and rental demand.
the Preston is a well-maintained 169-unit apartment community that was built in 1989. the podium-style property features great modern physical attributes such as ninefoot ceilings, in-unit washers and dryers, and central air conditioning. current ownership recently invested heavily in upgrading all of the property’s common area amenities, bringing them more in-line with modern properties in the submarket. the property also has a number of unique and highly desirable features like gas fireplaces in the majority of units, a generous parking ratio (2.0 spaces per unit), and vaulted ceilings on top floor units—some of which offer views of the iconic downtown skyline.

Miracle Mile is one of LA’s most geographically central neighborhoods, offering residents an unparalleled level of connectivity throughout the city. the neighborhood is centered on LA’s main thoroughfare, Wilshire Boulevard, which connects Downtown to Westside. Preston residents are located in the very heart of Miracle Mile and can reach Beverly Hills, Hollywood, century city, Downtown and other neighborhoods in a short 10- to 20-minute drive. this affluent community has long been known for its pedestrian-friendly streets, premium retail offerings, as well as its popular Museum row – housing four of LA’s most iconic museums.

in addition to the neighborhood’s centrality and exceptional amenities, Miracle Mile has become a hotbed of economic activity. the primary catalyst for the area’s resurgence is the Purple Line extension, which will ultimately connect Downtown to Westside, adding seven new stations, two of which will be within a few blocks of the Preston. the continuation of Miracle Mile’s prosperity is inevitable and this location will continue to be a popular and sought-after neighborhood for years to come.
Housed in a historic 1930s-era Firestone tire shop in Miracle Mile, All Season Brewing spent four years transforming this long-dormant 13,000 sq. ft. car service station into one of the most popular drinking and dining spots in all of LA. Decorated with tires, tools, and memorabilia, it feels as if the building is a lived-in mechanic’s museum, welcoming its own evolution while celebrating its history.
Every neighborhood in every great city deserves a top-notch italian bistro, and Uovo fits that bill exactly. Lele Massimini, co-founder of Sugarfish, is the mastermind behind Uovo which serves up some of the best handmade pastas imported straight from italy. Eater calls Uovo “LA’s Best Affordable Pasta restaurant” and its Santa Monica outpost received high praise from LA times critic Jonathan Gold.

Downtown Los Angeles Miracle Mile
Widely known as the epicenter of the entertainment capital of the world, Hollywood is home to the region’s greatest economic drivers—the media and entertainment industries. Every component of the tV, film, media and entertainment industries is located within this region, with major companies like Netflix, MtV, BEt, comedy central and VH1—all taking up sizable footprints within the area.
Beginning with the delivery of the Metro red Line to Hollywood in the early 2000s, Hollywood has been met with a full-scale revitalization. this triggered an uptick in demand for new class A office and made Hollywood a hotbed for office development in LA. Since 2015, 2.3 million sq. ft. of office space has been added to the submarket, including Kilroy’s 355,000 sq. ft. Academy on Vine development, Hudson Pacific’s 328,000 sq. ft. Epic tower, and the 500,000 sq. ft. icON creative office tower at Sunset Bronson Studios. this demand driven by content and media companies only continues to surge with several major office developments currently proposed, including most notably the Star, which was recently approved for an 18-story tower on the Sunset Gower Studios lot.
With a Hollywood renaissance in full effect and companies scrambling for office space within the area, not only will it bring thousands of new jobs within 10 minutes of the Preston, but Miracle Mile is poised to see a migration of new media and tech tenants within the corridor.
in early 2021, Netflix moved into their newest Hollywood office at th Academy on Vine with 350,000 sq. ft. of space. that they preleased in 2018.
Westside LA is home to the prominent employment corridors of Westwood/century city, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, culver city, and Brentwood, all of which are home to an impressive lineup of corporate heavyweights. From some of the nation’s premier investment banks (Goldman Sachs and Houlihan Lokey), to top-notch law firms (O’Melveny & Myers and Latham & Watkins), as well as tech giants (Amazon, Google, Facebook, yahoo!, and Snapchat), Westside LA houses roughly 500,000 jobs.
this year Amazon leased 200,000 sq. ft. at Water Garden complex in Santa Monica and announced it would be adding 1,000 corporate and tech jobs.
With over 500,000 workers, 13,000 businesses and 36 million sq.ft. of office space, Downtown LA is Southern california’s largest employment center. it is home to the country’s most prestigious law firms, Fortune 500 companies and consulting firms including the Big Four (Deloitte, Pricewaterhousecoopers, Ernst & young and KPMG), where average salaries are $137,000. in addition to the traditional professional services firms, cutting edge tech companies like Virgin Hyperloop (49,000 SF) and Weedmaps (115,000 SF) as well as wellestablished fashion brands like Adidas (107,000 SF) and Forever 21 (162,000 SF) are beginning to lease large amounts of space and entering the stable downtown office market.
Below is a pro forma operating statement representing Berkadia’s projections for the first year of buyers’ operations. the pro forma illustrates current operations on (1) an “As-is” basis, which assumes continuation of current operations and on (2) a fully stabilized, fully-renovated basis, which projects operations based on the repositioning strategy in the Executive Summary section of this Offering Memorandum. On the following pages are detailed footnotes explaining our assumptions.
1. Market Rents – t he table below summarizes average in-place rents and lease rates for the last 30, 60, 90, and 180 days of move-ins for each unit type as of September 2, 2022. Our renovated Pro Forma reflects the recent leasing and is meant to project stabilized year one rents. t he renovated Pro Forma trends market rents 5% to reflect rent growth for an investor’s first full year of ownership.
2. Loss or Gain to Lease – the “as-is” pro forma projects a loss-to-lease of 50.0% which equates to half of the total loss-to-lease today. the stabilized renovated pro forma projects loss-to-lease at 2.0% of gross scheduled rents.
3. Concessions – t he pro forma assumes no concessions moving forward.
