SUMMARY
One of the best mixed-use investment in the City for investor or owner-user! Located in the prime spot at SF Chinatown, the property has a huge retail store front at Grant Ave with many foot traffic like locals and tourists from all over the world. The store has a Mezzanine floor, a waterbar, a huge basement with an office and a restroom. The second floor has a 2 bedrooms/1 bathroom unit, and the third floor has a 3 bedrooms/1.5 bath unit. Both units have been updated, and the back are facing to the park. Seismic retrofit completed in 2002.
Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1921 mixed-use property is in functional condition but shows clear signs of aging and dated finishes. While the residential units have been 'updated,' the kitchens feature basic white appliances and older cabinetry, and some rooms utilize dated VCT tile flooring. The 2002 seismic retrofit is a major plus, but the rear exterior's heavy graffiti and the overall interior aesthetic suggest the property has not had a comprehensive renovation in over 20 years, placing it firmly in the 'fair' category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

- Prime Commercial Location
Situated on Grant Avenue in the heart of Chinatown, the property benefits from exceptionally high foot traffic from both locals and international tourists, maximizing retail visibility and potential.
- Versatile Mixed-Use Configuration
The building offers a diverse income stream with a substantial multi-level retail space and two updated residential units, making it an ideal asset for either an owner-user or a savvy investor.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Lot Size and Parking
The compact 1,001-square-foot lot offers no dedicated parking or private outdoor space, which is a common but significant constraint for the dense Chinatown corridor.

Despite updates, the 1921 construction date suggests that ongoing maintenance of aging systems and historic building elements may be required to meet modern standards.
