4600 E Olympic Boulevard is a ±11,244 square foot (0.2581-acre) LC-M1 industrial land parcel on a high-visibility arterial in the heart of unincorporated East Los Angeles. The site is currently improved with an older ±5,600 SF structure (former food processing, built 1957) and an associated paved/parking yard, and is offered and priced on land value — a redevelopment play for a light-industrial, commercial, or storage user/developer, who would complete partial demolition and site clearing to build out their program.
The parcel is a three-lot assemblage (Tract 5135, Lots 146, 147 & 148) under single ownership, fronting Olympic Boulevard with direct access to the 710, 5, 60 and 101 freeways. LC-M1 zoning permits a broad range of light-manufacturing, warehouse/distribution, automotive, contractor-yard, storage and commercial uses, giving a buyer exceptional flexibility in one of the most infill-constrained, freeway-served industrial submarkets in the County.
The site carries an older ±5,600 SF structure and a paved yard with minimal contributory value. Priced as land, a buyer captures an infill M-1 hard corner, completes the partial demolition and clearing needed to execute their plan, and controls design, use selection, and permitting from there.
County Light Manufacturing zoning supports light industrial, warehouse/distribution, storage, automotive, wholesale and a range of commercial uses — broad optionality for an owner-user or investor (uses subject to County verification).
The closest directly comparable sale — 4636 Floral Dr, an LC-M1 industrial lot in the same East LA submarket — traded at $101/SF in June 2024, anchoring the valuation for this larger, better-located parcel.
Hard-corner arterial frontage with immediate access to the 710, 5 and 60 freeways places the site in the dense East LA industrial core — a last-mile logistics and service-industrial location with minimal new land supply.
The parcel carries Los Angeles County Zone M-1 (Light Manufacturing), one of the more flexible industrial designations in the County's unincorporated areas. M-1 accommodates a broad mix of light-industrial, service-commercial and storage uses, making the site attractive to owner-users and value-add investors alike. All uses, development standards, parking and setbacks should be confirmed directly with the LA County Department of Regional Planning.
The table below summarizes recent closed land sales in the East Los Angeles / Boyle Heights area. The standout comparable is 4636 Floral Dr — the only sale with the same LC-M1 industrial zoning and a true raw-land profile — which establishes the per-square-foot benchmark for the subject. The residential (LC-R2) sales are included for submarket context but command materially lower pricing given their smaller, lower-intensity residential zoning.
| Address | Submarket | Lot SF | Zoning | Use | Sold Price | $/Land SF | Sold Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4636 Floral Dr Best Comp | East Los Angeles | 5,026 | LC-M1 | Industrial | $510,000 | $101.47 | 06/18/2024 |
| 0 Arizona Ave | East Los Angeles | 2,036 | LC-R2 | Residential | $120,000 | $58.94 | 07/26/2023 |

East Los Angeles is a dense, established infill community in unincorporated Los Angeles County, bordered by the City of Los Angeles, Boyle Heights, Commerce and Montebello. The area is one of the most freeway-connected industrial submarkets in the County, with immediate access to the 710, 5, 60 and 101 — a prime last-mile and service-industrial location. Olympic Boulevard is a major east-west commercial arterial carrying strong daily traffic counts, and developable industrial land of this size rarely comes available in this corridor.
Raw land of this profile is most reliably valued on a price-per-land-square-foot basis against comparable sales. With 4636 Floral Dr ($101.47/SF) as the governing LC-M1 comparable, the analysis below applies a range of per-foot values to the subject's 11,244 SF to bracket supportable pricing.
The recommended list price of $1,050,000 ($93.38/SF) positions the parcel modestly below the governing LC-M1 land comp on a per-square-foot basis — reflecting the subject's larger, 2.2× size — while still capturing value for its superior Olympic Boulevard frontage, and remaining defensible against closed market evidence.
| List Price Scenario | $/Land SF | $/Acre | vs. Floral Comp ($101/SF) | Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,135,000 Stretch | $100.94 | $4,397,520 | −0.5% | Comp parity — no size discount |
| $1,095,000 | $97.39 | $4,242,542 | −4.0% | Upper end |
| $1,050,000 Suggested List | $93.38 | $4,068,191 | −8.0% | Recommended — size-adjusted |
| $1,000,000 | $88.94 | $3,874,467 | −12.4% | Round-number entry point |
| $950,000 Bottom of Range | $84.49 | $3,680,744 | −16.8% | Quick-execution floor |
The site previously housed a food-processing facility. A Phase I (and possibly Phase II) Environmental Site Assessment is recommended to rule out soil or subsurface contamination before close.
The parcel is governed by LA County (not the City of LA). Permitted uses, development standards and the entitlement path must be confirmed with the County Department of Regional Planning.
4636 Floral Dr is the single closest LC-M1 raw-land comp; the remaining sales are residential. Limited M-1 land trades increase reliance on a small comp set and broker judgment.
The site is improved with an older ±5,600 SF structure and a paved yard requiring partial demolition. Confirm demolition scope, any below-grade conditions, and budget for demo, clearing, and grading. Verify water, power, sewer and gas are available at adequate capacity.
The legal description references "ex of streets" across the three lots. Verify net usable area, any street dedications, easements, and that the three lots are clean for the intended use.
Land value depends on continued owner-user and investor appetite for East LA industrial dirt. Shifts in the industrial market or financing costs could affect realized pricing and timing.
