Northland Acquires THEA at Metropolis Luxury Apartment Tower in Los Angeles for $504M

by Kristin Harlow November 9, 2022

LOS ANGELES — Northland has entered the California market with the acquisition of THEA at Metropolis, a 59-story luxury apartment tower in downtown Los Angeles. The U.S. subsidiary of China’s Greenland Holding Group sold the asset for $504 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. Northland says the purchase price represents a 40 to 45 percent discount to today’s replacement costs. The newspaper reports that the original asking price 18 months ago was $695 million, which was still less than the original development costs. High interest rates and falling rents have affected the apartment market nationally. Additionally, The Wall Street Journal cites California rent regulations and the ability of renters to move away from downtown Los Angeles due to remote work for contributing to suppressed property values. THEA was designed and built as for-sale condominiums before being converted into apartment units after construction. Completed in 2020, the 685-unit property is currently 91 percent occupied. THEA is part of a master-planned community named Metropolis. Residents are situated two blocks away from L.A. LIVE, a 5.6 million-square-foot sports and entertainment complex that encompasses numerous restaurants and bars, the 7,100-seat Microsoft Theater and Crypto.com Arena, home of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and Los …
