Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1946, this property is currently utilized as a medical office/veterinary clinic and lacks the essential residential features such as a modern kitchen or standard home bathrooms. The listing description and property analysis explicitly focus on the land's high-density redevelopment potential (MU-N-50 zoning) and suggest a complete teardown to maximize the site's value for multi-unit residential use.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High-Density Development Potential
Zoned MU-N-50, the property allows for up to 50 units per net acre, offering significant upside for multi-story residential or mixed-use redevelopment under current state pro-housing laws.
- Versatile Zoning Uses
The Neighborhood Mix zoning supports a wide array of permissible uses including medical, professional office, retail, and multi-unit residential, providing maximum flexibility for future investors.
- Guaranteed Short-Term Income
Currently leased to a major veterinary chain through late 2026, the property provides a stable income stream while the buyer secures permits and plans for future development.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Impending Vacancy Risk
The anchor tenant has confirmed they will not renew their lease after 2026, necessitating a proactive strategy to re-tenant or begin redevelopment to avoid a prolonged vacancy.
- Aging Infrastructure
Originally constructed in 1946, the existing 1,250 sqft structure may require significant modernization or a complete teardown to meet contemporary commercial or residential standards.
