Executive Summary
Atlas Hospitality is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire an 18-unit property currently operated as a motel, with potential to reposition toward a more traditional multifamily model under R-4 zoning. Built in 1970, a straightforward value-add footprint with parking and a flexible layout.
The unit mix of 13 studios and 4 one-bedroom units aligns with local demand for smaller, affordable housing, while the one-bedroom layouts provide upside versus studio rents. Four units already include full kitchens, creating immediate rent-ready inventory and a head start on a conversion plan. The property also includes an approximately 800 SF garage structure that ownership reports may be eligible for conversion to a residential dwelling, subject to buyer verification and City approvals.
Demand is supported by Ridgecrest’s role as a support market for NAWS China Lake (8,100+ workforce) and a multi-billion-dollar federal construction and recovery program reportedly extending through early 2026.
