PROPERTY LOCATION and OPPORTUNITY:
The property available in this listing is a 6 unit apartment building and 6969.6 sq. ft. on flat land - the largest privately held parcel of the six parcels that comprise this "short block" north of Circle K on El Cajon Blvd. all bordered by City Rights of Ways - - Boundary St., Iowa St. and the East/West alley connecting those streets. Complete Communities Tier 3 overlay zone allowing 6.5 X land area. Optimally, a strategy employed would capitalize on opportunities of deep economic dislocation (which occur from time to time) making additional acquisitions at substantial discounts to current values. Each acquired parcel contributes significantly to the complete block assemblage. The level terrain allows for maximum unit yield with the lowest possible grading cost. CAL TRANS has zero ownership in Boundary Street, a rare exception. Cal Trans' property line is their chain link fence at Boundary St.

CONVENIENCE of LOCATION (DESIRABILITY):
With adjacent access to 805 fwy, the location offers quick access to freeways 8, 15, 163 and 94 connecting Downtown, Mission Valley, Beaches, East County and South Bay. SPROUTS Farmers Market is scheduled to open by Fall at 33rd and El Cajon Blvd. evidencing Sprout's strong conviction of the area's future economic longevity. SPROUTS will make the frequent chore of grocery shopping super convenient at 1/3 mile by vehicle.

AREA CALCULATION and UNIT PRODUCTION:
The assembled 6 parcels, accompanied with City granted vacations of existing rights of ways ^ (Boundary and Iowa Streets and the East/West connecting alley) = 1.15 acres (50,094 sf, subject to survey) LESS the non build-able 25' x 475' utility easement corridor (11,875 sf) yields 38,219 sf X 6.5 FAR = 248,423 Gross Build-able Area - call it 248,000 sf. Applying 20 % for common area/circulation/core functions nets 198,400 sf Gross Build-able Area attributable to unit production (80% of 248,000). Applying a simplistic program of 100% 2br/2ba prototype, each 850 sq.ft., yield potential is 233 units. Putting a total parcel accumulation cost at $12.5 million yields a raw land cost of $54K/unit.

^ the State's "AFFORDABLE HOUSING for ALL" policies set San Diego's future on a permanent path to become very, very dense over time similar to Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle. Given this commitment, the City has no cause to deny vacation of their public right of ways that would meaningfully contribute to the creation of needed housing.

PARKING - A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
Iowa Street's 80' right of way allows 90 degree head-in parking. With 8' wide stalls the 415' length would accommodate at least 39 spaces, including two disabled and two, 24' wide, double ingress-egress aprons (one for subterranean parking, one for grade level parking). A single level subterranean parking structure utilizing 38,000 sf of land with diagonal stall configuration will produce 75 spaces, 114 total (39 + 75) . . . utilizing 75% of the parcel at grade level for parking will contribute approximately 86 stalls = 200 total spaces (114 + 86).

UTILITIES:
Overhead high voltage electric lines and two high pressure gas lines within an existing easement corridor on Boundary St. Approximately 425 lineal feet of high tension power lines (69kv, 12kv) require concrete encased under-grounding. One 60' steel transmission tower requires removal . . . two poles at North/South ends of the project remain. Additionally, one each 16" and 6" gas line exist and are proposed to remain in the utility easement.

PROJECT REVENUES and POTENTIAL SALE VALUE:
Assuming a rent rate at $3200/mo. and applying a conservative 6% vacancy factor, annual income approximates $8,410,000. After property taxes and 30% operating cost, net annual income = $4,678,000. Using a 4.2% capitalization rate imputes project value at $111,381,000. An average unit sale price of $675,000 imputes a project value at $157,275,000. It has been 51 years since this property was last available for purchase. Acquiring this property positions you to earn income, while, over time, you acquire 5 adjacent parcels due South.
