Located in the heart of Torrance, 18750 Crenshaw Blvd. offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a stabilized, income-producing retail/office asset with clear upside potential. This freestanding, newly refreshed building encompasses approximately 2,275 sq. ft. and sits on a high-exposure corner lot near Crenshaw Blvd. and 190th St., benefiting from strong traffic counts and excellent visibility. The property features 3 suites, plus an additional storage unit, creating a diversified income stream. Existing long-term tenants provide in-place cash flow, supporting a strong cap rate (buyer to verify based on current income and pricing). The storage unit is currently leased, further enhancing yield. A key value-add component is the owner-occupied smoke shop, which can be delivered vacant at close of escrow. This presents an opportunity to either occupy the space or lease at market rents, allowing investors to increase NOI and capture a higher pro forma cap rate. With strategic lease-up and potential rent adjustments to market levels, investors can realize meaningful upside in overall returns. Surrounded by strong national and local retailers, including a newly built Starbucks, the property benefits from consistent consumer traffic and a desirable tenant base. Immediate access to the 405 freeway further enhances accessibility and long-term tenant demand. With ample parking, modern exterior upgrades, and a prime corner location, this asset is well-suited for investors seeking stable in-place income with the ability to drive NOI growth and improve cap rate performance over time.

This three-unit retail property is strategically positioned within the strong commercial corridor of Harbor Gateway South. Although the property carries a Torrance mailing address, it is located within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles, providing access to the City’s economic base and regulatory framework while benefiting from South Bay consumer traffic. The property features an approximately 3,500 sq ft retail building on a 11,200 sq ft lot. The expansive lot provides ample space for secure parking, storage, operational staging, or potential reconfiguration to enhance value over time, (contingent upon buyer's zoning verification). The property is currently configured as three separate units, all of which are owner-occupied and will be delivered vacant at the close of escrow—presenting a rare opportunity for an owner-user seeking immediate occupancy or an investor pursuing market-rate lease-up in a supply-constrained submarket. One unit is built out with a commercial kitchen, including a restaurant-grade hood system, making it well-suited for food production, catering, ghost kitchen operations, or traditional restaurant use (subject to permits and approvals). The remaining two units are currently utilized as workshop space and offer flexible configurations adaptable to retail, creative studio, light industrial, service-oriented retail, or contractor uses. The rear portion of the property is gated and secured, enhancing functionality and security while supporting a range of operational uses. With its flexible layout, vacant delivery, and strategic South Bay-adjacent location, the property offers both immediate usability and long-term repositioning potential within a highly trafficked commercial corridor. The Property is prominently situated on the north side of Carson Street within the highly active Harbor Gateway commercial corridor. The property's prominent visibility and convenient access to two major thoroughfares enhance connectivity between the South Bay and greater Los Angeles, thereby supporting consistent vehicular traffic and consumer activity.
