4 Parcel Portfolio- W. Main St. 4 Properties Offered at $4,814,458 CAD in El Cajon, CA

MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION!!! The NEWLY REDUCED portfolio all sitting in El Cajon's new Transit District overlay zoning for mixed-use redevelopment site the "Green Street Gateway". From the corner of Millar with all four lots having frontage on W. Main Street to the middle of the block is finally offered together for a discounted sale and RECENTLY REDUCED to $3,388,888, providing an opportunity to redevelop for the newest mixed-use project in El Cajon. This Mixed-Use Project could be the solution with a Public-Private Partnership.
Senate Bill 79, the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, takes effect in July and allows developers to build structures up to nine stories tall near major transit stops in eight California counties. The law overrides local zoning restrictions in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Sacramento counties—jurisdictions with at least 15 passenger rail stations. Height allowances range from six to nine stories for Tier 1 heavy-rail locations and five to eight stories for Tier 2 light-rail and bus rapid transit sites, extending to neighborhoods within a half-mile of transit stops. State Senator Scott Wiener introduced the bill in 2025 to accelerate housing production across California’s urban core.
Cities can delay the law’s requirements until 2030 by adopting their own density plans, but projects submitted before local plans are finalized will still fall under SB 79.
City of El Cajon has advised developers to look into the application of new state laws AB2011 and SB6 which may help you to up-zone the residential component of this proposed redeveloped mixed-use. However Developers should also look into Chapter 19.90 for State Bonus Density to see if it applies. Senate Bill SB684 Bonus Overlay/Senate Bill 1123 (Ministerial Permitting) may also be helpful.
The City is inviting Developers to come and bring their MIXED-USE solutions to an area that deeply needs regeneration and life. This is the perfect block to start on. Seller has these three parcels with the vacant warehouse on the west corner of Millar Ave and W. Main St, a main thoroughfare into the City from both La Mesa and Santee. A portfolio sale would allow a developer acquire almost an entire block or about 21,000 SF +/-. This area desperately needs a strip center with grocer, restaurants, small retail/office. The AB 2011 and SB6 allows a developer to expand his project and fulfill the needs of the city with the inclusion of residential or density units. The very low parking requirement sitting in the transit district should allow a developer to maximize their FAR for income producing suites and units. City wants this to be a walking, pedestrian friendly district. The project will serve not only the hundreds of employees at major car dealerships, but also the residential homes directly backing these parcels. The city is anxiously awaiting a developer to work with on rejuvenating this area to benefit its community. All 3D Modeling and Visualization is taken directly from the City of El Cajon's Transit District Specific Plan. These parcels sit within the KEY NODES and focus for their development around key intersections and the transit station.
