Medical office space for lease in Whittier and Southeast Los Angeles
27 buildings with 134,104 SF of medical space available across 63 listed spaces. The largest like group, five Class C buildings on Modified Gross, asks a median $2.00/SF/month.
Class C buildings on Modified Gross in Whittier and Southeast Los Angeles ask a median $2.00/SF/month. Across the Gateway Cities (Long Beach to Whittier), the same class on the same structure asks $2.50.
The comparison holds class and structure steady: five Class C buildings here at a median $2.00/SF/month, against 15 across the Gateway Cities (Long Beach to Whittier) at $2.50. Both groups have a median year built of 1962. The Whittier and Southeast Los Angeles group is a median 72% leased, against 51% for the Gateway Cities (Long Beach to Whittier). The Gateway Cities landlords have more space to fill. On a 2,500 SF suite, that $0.50/SF/month gap is $15,000 a year.
Here's the part that gets less attention. Half of the buildings here went up in 1967 or earlier. From the real estate side, an older building can be the better deal, if the landlord pays to make the suite work. Ask what the plumbing, restrooms and HVAC can carry before you talk rent. The rent and the build-out are one negotiation, not two.
So: Class C Modified Gross asks in Whittier and Southeast Los Angeles sit below the Gateway Cities median for that class, and the median building dates to 1967. In an older building, the allowance matters as much as the rate. How many exam rooms, sinks and restrooms does your next suite need?
