EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1448 A Street presents a highly visible commercial property in the heart of Castro Valley, offering exceptional frontage along A Street with traffic counts exceeding 30,000 vehicles per day. The 6,732-square-foot building sits on a 0.35-acre lot and features 26 on-site parking spaces, providing excellent accessibility for both tenants and customers.

The property has recently undergone exterior improvements, including fresh paint, enhanced weatherproofing, and new windows. The interior is delivered in shell condition, allowing the next owner/user or investor the flexibility to design and customize a build-out to suit their specific needs. Zoned PD (Planned Development), which aligns with C-N (Neighborhood Commercial) uses, the property accommodates a wide range of potential uses, including retail, community facilities, and daycare.

Strategically located, this site offers easy access to Interstate 580 and the 238 Freeway, a major route in Northern California that connects the Central Valley to the Bay Area. The Castro Valley BART Station is a mile away and serves the Blueline, which travels east to Dublin/Pleasanton. Many major shopping, dining, and service amenities lie less than a five-minute drive away. 1448 A Street is adjacent to the 72-unit Ruby Street apartment development, bringing many new residents to this corner of the Castro Valley.
With its strong visibility, flexible zoning, and proximity to Castro Valley BART and major highways, 1448 A Street offers an outstanding opportunity for both immediate activation and long-term value growth in a prominent commercial corridor.
