EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Call for Offers
The Seller requests that all offers be submitted by 5:00 PM (PT) on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
Feel free to contact us for more information or to schedule a tour.
CBRE is pleased to present 3650 Adams Avenue, a ±1.33-acre landmark corner site located along the vibrant Adams Avenue corridor. Positioned between the highly desirable neighborhoods of Kensington and Normal Heights, the property offers exceptional visibility, walkability, and direct access to I-15 and I-8. Its central location places it minutes from Uptown, North Park, and Mission Valley—firmly within San Diego’s urban core.
This rare infill site presents two compelling paths for value creation:
Residential Redevelopment:
The property supports a flexible mix of for-sale townhomes and rental apartments. With strong demand, limited new housing supply, and high barriers to entry, the location is primed for premium pricing and rapid absorption.
Retail Leasing:
Existing improvements and prominent corner exposure make the site ideal for large-format or big-box retail. Located along one of San Diego’s most eclectic commercial corridors, it offers retailers unmatched visibility, on-site parking (108 spaces), and access to a dense, diverse customer base.
With its scale, location, and versatility, 3650 Adams Avenue stands as one of the last remaining large-format infill opportunities in San Diego—offering investors and users the ability to unlock significant value through redevelopment or immediate retail activation.
