Analysis of 987 Laurel Street, San Carlos, California 94070 is currently available with a list price of $1,400,000. The property maintains a Tear down Condition Rating (10/100), reflecting significant deferred maintenance. This property is best suited for experienced investors or developers prepared for substantial renovation work. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the San Carlos Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for Experienced Investors and Fix-and-Flip Specialists.
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1946, this 78-year-old structure is being marketed primarily for its land value and redevelopment potential. The listing emphasizes high-density zoning (MU-N-50) and the potential for a multi-story residential project. The current interior is a specialized medical office with dated finishes, and the building's small footprint (1,250 sqft) on a 3,000 sqft lot makes it a prime candidate for demolition to achieve its highest and best use.
The MU-N-50 zoning allows for up to 50 units per net acre, and with current state pro-housing laws, there is significant upside for a multi-story residential or mixed-use redevelopment.
The property supports a broad spectrum of uses including medical, professional office, retail, and residential, offering an investor or owner-user exceptional flexibility.
Leased to a major veterinary chain through 12/31/2026, the property provides a guaranteed income stream while the buyer navigates the entitlement and planning process.
With 213 days on market and multiple price reductions from the original $2M list price, the property has faced challenges in finding a buyer at previous valuation levels.
The current anchor tenant is not renewing their lease, which creates a looming vacancy risk and necessitates a clear redevelopment or re-tenanting strategy by early 2027.
This is a medical office building that is leased to a major Vet chain through 12/31/2026. They are not renewing because they are consolidating to another much larger location. This building offers a broad array of permissible uses including residential. The Regional Housing Needs Assessment puts this land at 2 residential units. However, if redeveloped with an architect and the city with both city and new state pro-housing laws, a buyer could potentially get several stories and many units, TBD.
