Condition Rating
Poor

The property, built in 1978, is currently configured as an office building with an 'As-Is' sale condition. While a new roof is mentioned, the visible interior (specifically the breakroom/kitchenette) is extremely dated with orange laminate countertops, older wood cabinets, and fluorescent lighting, indicating no significant modern renovations. For its listed 'Residential' type, the property lacks a functional residential kitchen and likely has outdated office-style bathrooms. Converting this office space into a livable residential property would require substantial rehabilitation, including installing a full residential kitchen and renovating all bathrooms, making it uncomfortable for residential living in its current state.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Flexible Zoning & High Development Potential: The property boasts Multi-Family Residential+ Zoning (MU-SB-100), allowing for significant vertical development up to 60 feet or 5 stories, with potential for even greater density under new state laws, offering substantial future value.
Extensive Permitted Uses: A wide array of permitted uses, including office, medical, retail, restaurant, hotel, and multi-unit residential, provides exceptional versatility for diverse business models or redevelopment projects.
Stable In-Place Income: An existing tenant with a stated intent to extend their lease provides immediate, reliable income, making it an attractive option for investors seeking a leased asset.
Adaptable Interior for Conversion: The current office layout, featuring numerous private offices and conference rooms, is well-suited for conversion into residential units, streamlining potential multi-family development.
Recent Major Capital Improvement: The property benefits from a new roof, reducing immediate maintenance concerns and capital expenditure for a prospective buyer.

Cons

As-Is Sale Condition: Being sold 'As-Is' implies the buyer assumes all responsibility for current conditions and potential future repairs, which could lead to unforeseen costs and require thorough due diligence.
Right of First Refusal: Despite the tenant's stated intent not to exercise, the presence of a Right of First Refusal can introduce a procedural hurdle and potential delay in the transaction process.
Aging Infrastructure (Excluding Roof): Built in 1978, the building's age suggests other major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or outdated, potentially requiring significant investment for modernization or residential conversion beyond the new roof.
