Winnetka Office for Sale - Western SFV
20201 Sherman Way is a 25,757-square-foot, two-story commercial building in the heart of Winnetka, Los Angeles. The property is already subdivided into multiple suites ranging from ±800 to 3,000 square feet, with ample on-site parking and excellent street visibility. Recently improved with over $2 million in fire restoration, electrical and HVAC upgrades, the asset offers a rare turn-key opportunity for an investor to reposition and fully stabilize as a high-performing medical office property. With targeted additional improvements—vanilla shell preparations, signage, curb appeal upgrades, and tenant improvements—this building can quickly achieve top-of-market rental rates.
Located on a high-traffic stretch of Sherman Way between De Soto and Winnetka Avenue, the property benefits from strong daily traffic counts and proximity to major arterials including the 101 and 118 freeways. Winnetka and its surrounding neighborhoods in the San Fernando Valley are significantly underserved for quality medical space, with the nearest competitive buildings located in more expensive markets like Woodland Hills, Northridge, and Tarzana. This location offers convenient access for a large patient base, ample parking ratios, and a strong surrounding residential population exceeding 220,000 within three miles.
The building is ideally suited for general practitioners, specialists, dentists, urgent care centers, physical therapy clinics, diagnostic labs, and pharmacies. These tenants are drawn to the property’s accessible ground-floor suites, ready-to-customize spaces, and ability to serve patients from nearby residential communities without the congestion and higher costs of hospital campus settings. Local demand drivers include a large family population, a growing senior demographic, and a shortage of modern, well-located medical office space in Winnetka. This creates a unique competitive advantage for attracting and retaining long-term medical tenants.
An investor purchasing 20201 Sherman Way can capitalize on a compelling combination of cash flow, value creation, and tax efficiency. Upon stabilization at market rents of approximately $33/SF NNN, the property is projected to generate $706,857 in NOI, equating to an attractive 11.8% pro-forma cap rate. With a clearly defined medical-office repositioning plan and an all-in basis materially below replacement cost, the asset offers significant upside through lease-up and long-term appreciation. Additionally, accelerated depreciation through cost segregation and bonus depreciation can materially reduce taxable income in Year 1, enhancing after-tax returns. This opportunity is well suited for medical office investors, high-net-worth buyers, and 1031 exchange capital seeking durable income, downside protection, and outsized after-tax performance in an underserved West San Fernando Valley submarket.
