Located in the southeastern San Fernando Valley, Glendale is the fourth most populous city in Los Angeles County with just under 200,000 residents. The area is a popular tech hub but is also seeing lots of development across all asset types, including a new Armenian American Museum under construction and a proposed reimagined Verdugo Wash. Multifamily in particular has been a hot asset class for Glendale. The city currently has 596 units under construction, according to Colliers, many of which are affordable.
