LOS ANGELES — Pegasus has arranged the purchase of Laemmle NoHo 7, a marquee theater-anchored retail and office property in the North Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles. A locally based investor group led by the Laemmle family, founders and operators of Laemmle Theatres, acquired the asset for $6.5 million. Located at 5240 Lankershim Blvd. in the NoHo Arts District, the 32,809-square-foot property was originally constructed in 2011. The acquisition was completed as part of a 1031 exchange following the disposition of a former theater asset previously owned and operated by the Laemmle family. This purchase marks the Laemmle family’s reacquisition of the property, which it sold in 2021 to a developer with plans to redevelop the asset into a multifamily and retail property. The redevelopment strategy ultimately fell through, allowing the Laemmle family the opportunity to repurchase the asset. Upon stabilization, NoHo 7 will be anchored by Laemmle Theatres. The existing ground-floor tenant, Chipotle Mexican Grill, will remain and the upper-level office space, which was vacated in anticipation of redevelopment, will be repositioned and leased. David Chasin, along with the Pegasus team, advised the buyer in the acquisition.

— By Tanner Olson of Legend Commercial — Downtown Salt Lake City has undergone a meaningful transformation over the past decade. The growth of ground-floor mixed-use retail, a rapidly expanding bar and restaurant scene, and the arrival of nationally recognized brands such as STK Steakhouse, the Capital Grille, Uchi and concepts affiliated with Fox Restaurant Concepts reflect a maturing urban core. At the same time, local operators such as Aker, Matteo, Urban Hill and many others have elevated the city’s culinary identity, with homegrown concepts adding depth and authenticity to the market. It was only 15 years ago that Salt Lake largely functioned as a commuter-based retail environment. Consumers prioritized surface parking and drive-thru convenience. Downtown activity outside of peak weekend hours was limited, while urban living lacked the density and vibrancy needed to support consistent retail demand. That dynamic has shifted. Today, tens of thousands of multifamily units have been delivered in and around the CBD, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of square feet of ground-floor retail. Just two to three years ago, downtown contained roughly 200,000 square feet of available mixed-use retail space, fragmented across 60 to 70 small-format spaces. Filling that space required not just tenants, but …
