Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial real estate is a broad category that includes a high variety of space types designed to meet the needs of various industries of the local economy and their specialized subsectors, as presented in our real estate 101 guide to types of commercial real estate. However, there are three main categories that you are most likely to come across: office, retail, and industrial space.

Modern office space is typically organized over large floor plates bound by high ceilings and large windows for an abundance of natural light and is located in transit-oriented developments with good access to multiple modes of transportation, so as to facilitate employee commute. The Santa Monica commercial real estate market incorporates 14,184,361 square feet of office space across 224 buildings.

Office buildings can also accommodate coworking spaces, which are shared office options that typically cater to the needs of small, startup businesses that require flexible workspaces, a concentration of amenities, and services that can be accessed on an occasional or short-term basis. In Santa Monica, the coworking segment of the commercial real estate market incorporates about 12,350 square feet.

Retail space includes shopping malls, department stores, street retail, or specialty stores dedicated to a narrow range of products. Such properties are typically located in high foot-traffic and/or car traffic areas, to facilitate customer access. The Santa Monica commercial real estate market includes 3,146,055 square feet of retail space in a variety of settings.

Industrial property most often serves businesses operating in manufacturing or logistics and generally consists of large open spaces located within good access to roads, railways, freight airports or regional water ports. Industrial space listings can include warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, flexible industrial space, or even data center facilities. Across the Santa Monica market, there is a total of 298,503 square feet of industrial property.

The listing inventory in Santa Monica incorporates commercial real estate for lease and for sale of almost all property types and subtypes. However, you’ll find some categories offer more rental or investment opportunities than others.

The largest share of commercial real estate space for lease in Santa Monica is represented by Retail space, which accounts for 5,643,700 square feet of available listings. Office space available in Santa Monica adds up to 2,101,866 square feet.

Meanwhile, most of the listings of commercial property for sale in Santa Monica are in the Office category.

The price of renting or buying commercial real estate is influenced by a variety of factors, including: the property type (for example, office space is priced higher than other property types in most locations); the condition and asset class rating (property rated class A or above will typically command a higher price than lower grade classifications); the quality or the development potential of the property location; whether or not there is high demand for the type of commercial asset in question; and what the state of supply is relative to demand.

The average rent for commercial real estate space listed for lease in Santa Monica is $48.46 per square foot. However, this value does not offer enough perspective on its own, as you will find significant variation in prices across property types, property classes, and location, as well as other impacting factors. For instance, rent per square foot of office space in Santa Monica can vary greatly depending on the rating of the property from Class A to Class C, as well as across the city depending on the location of the asset.

Whether you are looking for commercial real estate for lease or commercial property for sale, the best choice of location depends on the factors that are most relevant to your business strategy. A good thing to look for at the start, however, is the areas of the city that have the highest concentration of your preferred type of property, as these areas are generally well connected to the amenities and points of interest that are most relevant to each property type.

As such, there are several areas that you could consider to be the best location for commercial real estate in Santa Monica, depending on the property type you are interested in. The highest concentration of commercial space listings of any kind in Santa Monica is in the Downtown Santa Monica neighborhood. But if we look at each commercial property type, we find that for office space, the best location is the Mid-City Santa Monica area.

Meanwhile, retail space opportunities are most abundant in the Downtown Santa Monica submarket. Alternatively, if you are looking for warehouse or other industrial space, consider looking at listings in Mid-City Santa Monica.

Select your preferred property type from the search filters menu at the top of the search page and then navigate the interactive map for a better view of commercial real estate availability in the locations most suited to your needs.

Regardless of whether buying or leasing commercial space is a new experience for you, there are significant benefits to working with a commercial real estate broker. In addition to saving you time and money, an experienced broker will contribute specialist knowledge of the local market, the property type you need representation for, and will handle negotiations on your behalf in your best interest.

To start, it is important for you to have a good understanding of what kind of broker you need. For instance, there are differences between a tenant broker and a listing broker. Also important at the start is to have a clear idea of what kind of space (or tenant) you are looking for and what (if any) particular needs and requirements you might have. And, while it is good to get a referral, you should interview several brokers to better gauge who you feel would best represent your interests.

CommercialCafe hosts listings from some of the most trusted commercial real estate brokerages in the country. Use the contact form available on each listing page or the contact details for the property representatives to reach out and start your search!

The profitability of a commercial real estate investment depends on a multitude of factors working together. These factors include the quality of the asset itself — which itself includes aspects such as location, property class, amenities, and the quality of the property management — to the local market conditions, the state of the local economy, the demand for that particular type of commercial property, and of course the costs of owning and maintaining it relative to what leasing rate or sale price you get from the property. Asking rents in the city went as high as $90 per square foot. In particular, the property type commanding the highest lease rates in Santa Monica was Retail space.

Conversely, the highest sale price last year was $58,550,000 that is located at 2825 Santa Monica Blvd.

The average size of a commercial property in Santa Monica depends greatly on the property type and the location — geographical possibilities and zoning allowances have significant influence on how big developers can build. While there are outliers that break height or volume records in the city, we can look at some average sizes by property use:

In Santa Monica, the average size of an office property is 65,668 square feet.
Retail properties here incorporate an average of 30,844 square feet.
Industrial space in Santa Monica is in buildings that are, on average 74,626 square feet in size.
