Investment Highlights
- Size, condition, jurisdiction — "unentitled" filters out shovel-ready shoppers before they waste your time.
- Density without a number — they do the math, they own it.
- Infill location — retail proximity supports the density, freeway access sells the finished product.
- The deal — by-right means no hearing where neighbors kill it; the ordinance number lets their counsel verify fast.
- Kills a financing objection — reassurance, not attraction, so cut this one first if you're capped.

Description
3.07± acres of unentitled hillside land on Hillcrest Rd in unincorporated Contra Costa County, offered at $1,300,000. The site carries a Residential Medium General Plan designation at 7-17 dwelling units per net acre and sits within the County's HE-C overlay (Ord. 2024-02), under which housing is permitted by right. A preliminary planning screening by Cox Planning Solutions identified two viable entitlement pathways: a ministerial affordable-housing path, and an AB 130 market-rate infill route with CEQA exemption. The parcel is in FEMA Zone X, outside the mapped 100-year floodplain. Location is the infill argument. Plaza Sobrante retail sits directly across the frontage, with San Pablo Dam Rd connecting to I-80 and Highway 24 for access to the greater East Bay employment base.
