The 8,450 SF building offers an average unit size of approximately 325 SF, maximizing income efficiency. Situated on a 7,000 SF lot with motel zoning, the property presents limited land value contribution; however, the zoning carries significant embedded entitlement value for SRO and behavioral health uses—an increasingly scarce and difficult-to-replicate asset class in San Diego.
