ABOUT THE PROPERTY

Maher Commercial Realty is pleased to present 8553 West Knoll Drive, an exceptionally rare development offering in the prestigious West Hollywood West neighborhood. Sitting on an oversized ±7,705 SF lot — significantly larger than most parcels in this tightly held area — the site offers an unmatched canvas for a boutique, design-forward project.

The property is preliminarily entitled for 5 luxury townhomes, each featuring +/- 1,920-1,925 SF units with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, private rooftop terraces, and direct-access, on-grade garages — with no subterranean parking required. The architecture blends contemporary lines with livability, maximizing light, air, and vertical flow for today’s discerning urban resident.

What truly elevates this opportunity is its location. West Knoll Drive is a quiet, tree-lined street with no through traffic, yet it is just steps from the most coveted lifestyle offerings in the city. Only 2 blocks from the famed Sunset Strip, residents will enjoy a Walk Score of 91, with easy access to Soho House, Petit Ermitage, Nobu, Laurel Hardware, Zinqué, John Reed Fitness, Equinox, Melrose boutiques, and Trader Joe’s, among many others. Transit access is excellent, with nearby Metro lines and the free West Hollywood PickUp shuttle.

This is more than a development site — it's a rare chance to bring a high-design, end-user-centric product to market in one of Los Angeles’ most supply-constrained, walkable, and amenity-rich corridors. The combination of lot size, entitlement progress, architectural design, and unbeatable location creates a unique offering for both build-to-sell and long-term hold strategies.
