DAUM Commercial Real Estate Services, a leading provider of CRE services including brokerage, national tenant representation, consulting, leasing, sales and property management, announces the sale of an approximately 2-acre industrial land site in the Los Angeles County city of Compton, California.

The buyer will pursue a conditional use permit (CUP) to convert the 87,421-square-foot site, which was previously used for heavy industrial purposes, to an industrial outdoor storage (IOS) property, according to Brad Levin, Executive Vice President and Principal at DAUM Commercial, who represented the seller in the transaction.

“Land sales in Compton face unique hurdles based on the city’s restrictions on outside storage at vacant property, narrowing the buyer pool considerably,” explains Levin. “We were able to overcome this by identifying a buyer with a clear plan for working through the CUP process, which made our Client’s goal of a timely sale possible in a market where land transactions due to entitlements or permitting procedures are longer and harder to close.”

The transaction comes amid improving activity across the broader Los Angeles Industrial market. According to a recent DAUM market report, net absorption in the West/South Los Angeles region turned positive in the second quarter, while gross absorption increased 21.6%. Industrial sales volume in the first half of 2026 sales was more than double that of the same period in 2025.

“Despite the challenges presented by the local regulatory environment, the location’s strong connectivity to the Los Angeles and Long Beach Ports, LAX, and throughout Southern California continues to drive strong investor and user demand and sets up the property for long-term success with the right plan in place,” adds Levin.

The property is located at 529 & 533 Carlin St. and 520 & 526 El Segundo Blvd., Compton, California. The total consideration of the sale was just under $2.5 million.
