Property Description

Located just two blocks from the University of California, Berkeley, 2015 Hearst Avenue is a well-maintained 7-unit multifamily asset in one of the East Bay's most supply-constrained and high-demand rental markets. The property benefits from consistent student and faculty demand, making it an ideal long-term hold with strong upside potential. Ownership has completed extensive capital improvements to the building's major systems, including a new roof, upgraded electrical and plumbing systems, dual pane windows, and fresh exterior paint. The property is also Soft Story and SB-721 compliant, providing added confidence for investors. With major capex already addressed, future improvements are primarily cosmetic and unit-level upgrades, creating a clear path to increasing rental income. Offered at $3,868,000, the asset equates to $552,571 per unit and $672 per square foot, with a 5.50% cap rate and 12.20 GRM. Investors can capture approximately 11.32% rental upside through renovations and operational improvements (buyer to verify). Additional income is generated through parking leased to a neighboring dental practice, along with seven storage units available for lease. Each unit also offers potential for reconfiguration to maximize rental income (buyer to verify).
