The property is explicitly marketed as a 'Development Opportunity' with 'Value in Land,' and the analysis highlights the 'Obsolescence of Existing Structure.' Built in 1983 (41 years ago), the home has exceeded its typical economic life for the area's high-density zoning. While currently rented—which suggests it is not yet 'unlivable'—the focus on land value and the confirmed FAR ratios for redevelopment indicate that the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems are likely outdated or in disrepair, requiring substantial rehabilitation or demolition to achieve the property's highest and best use.
Zoned LR3 + SM-RB 85 within a HALA opportunity zone, this 14,555 SF lot offers significant density potential with confirmed FAR ratios for multi-family construction.
Situated just one block from the Link light rail and bordering two main thoroughfares, the property provides exceptional accessibility and visibility for future residents.
The existing residential structure features a month-to-month tenant, providing steady rental income to offset carrying costs while the owner navigates the permitting process.
