The property, which is on a 24,574 SF lot in the West Hollywood adjacent neighborhood, consists of 39 units.

It was inherited by some siblings "who each wanted to sell and exchange into their own individual properties," Azzi Advisors founder and Marcus & Millichap EVP of investments Tony Azzi (right with business development associate Jordan Asheghian) told Bisnow.

There was a great deal of interest in the property, which ended up receiving eight written offers, according to Azzi.

Ten of the units are vacant, and the new buyer, a private investor, plans to renovate those units and the entire building.
