Ideally positioned just blocks from Little Italy’s acclaimed restaurants, cafés, shopping, and entertainment, the property offers convenient access to Balboa Park, UC San Diego Health, Scripps Mercy Hospital, and California Western School of Law. Its proximity to Downtown San Diego, San Diego International Airport, and major transportation corridors further enhances its appeal t A defining investment highlight of the offering is the inclusion of newly completed ready-to-issue (RTI) plans for four additional luxury townhome residences, creating a compelling opportunity to expand the existing sixunit community into a potential ten-unit residential asset. The proposed development consists of two three-story duplex buildings situated at the rear of the property, comprising four luxury townhomes totaling approximately 4,426 square feet. Each residence is envisioned to average approximately 1,100 square feet, incorporating contemporary architectural design and high-end finishes intended to complement the property’s premier urban setting.
