Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Tear down
TeardownExcellent

Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.

Despite two units having recent interior remodels (new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, and lighting), the property's primary value is explicitly stated as its 0.72-acre R3 zoned land for redevelopment into 21-30 units. The original structure was built in 1898, and the presence of a dilapidated warehouse further supports that the existing structures are not the long-term asset. The 'remodeled units' are presented as temporary income generators during the planning phase, indicating the structures are intended for demolition to realize the land's full potential.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Significant Redevelopment Potential

    Large 0.72-acre R3 zoned parcel in a high-demand area, allowing for up to 21-30 housing units, directly addressing San Jose's housing shortage.

  • Prime Downtown San Jose Location

    Excellent walkability and access to San Jose State University, public transportation, major freeways (101), and proximity to Google's planned Downtown, ensuring strong future demand.

  • Expedited Project Approval Potential

    Benefits from 'recently entitled Stamp Survey Map and Feasibility Study' and potential for SB 10/SB 330 streamlined approval, reducing development timelines and associated risks.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Substantial Capital Requirement

    The $3.25 million list price represents a significant initial investment, which will be followed by substantial development costs for a multi-unit project.

  • Inherent Development Risks

    Despite streamlined processes, large-scale redevelopment projects carry inherent risks related to construction costs, market demand fluctuations, and potential unforeseen regulatory or environmental challenges.

  • Age of Existing Structures

    The 1898 year built for the existing structures may necessitate significant demolition costs or extensive renovation if parts are to be integrated, adding to overall project expenses.
