Property Description
We are pleased to present 2700 White Lane, a 149-unit studio apartment community situated at the Highway 99 interchange in Southwest Bakersfield's Wible Orchard neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1965 as a Howard Johnson hotel, the property has been converted to multifamily use under Conditional Use Permit 23-0642, approved by the Bakersfield Planning Commission on February 29, 2024. The asset is being offered as a court-supervised sale through a receivership, presenting a compelling heavy value-add opportunity with a defined scope of remaining work, strong rental comparables, and deep Section 8 demand.The two-story, L-shaped property encompasses approximately 61,500 square feet of building area across 149 studio units averaging approximately 400 square feet each, with kitchenettes in a hotel-conversion format and exterior corridors. The site features a kidney-shaped swimming pool and a large surface parking lot. The property benefits from exceptional freeway visibility, with Highway 99 carrying more than 170,000 vehicles per day, and direct access from White Lane, one of Southwest Bakersfield's primary east-west arterials. Valley Plaza Mall is approximately two miles east and Downtown Bakersfield approximately five miles northeast.The property currently operates at 65.1% occupancy, with 97 units leased and 52 vacant (including 4 on notice and 2 in eviction). Approximately 40% of occupied units (~39 units) are leased to Section 8 voucher holders, and the Bakersfield Housing Authority has approved contract rents at this address ranging from $975 to $1,095 per month. This voucher concentration represents a strategic asset: Section 8 demand in the Southwest Bakersfield submarket is strong, providing a reliable tenant pipeline once the property achieves full CUP compliance and professional stabilization. Market rent support is anchored by Ming Tree Apartments at 5601 Ming Avenue, which achieves $1,075 per month for studios 2.5 miles from the subject on a comparable commercial corridor. This figure represents current achievable market rent, not a projection. Same-ZIP-code comparables in the 93304 area average $1,057 per month unadjusted, while the broader Southwest Bakersfield studio market (93309) averages $1,046 per month adjusted. A stabilized rent assumption of $1,075 per month is conservative relative to these benchmarks and falls $20 below the maximum Section 8-approved contract rent at the property.The single most significant risk mitigant in this t
