AddressIntel AI Briefing

This prime 1959 property represents an exceptional candidate for an SB 9 lot split into multiple units or a teardown-and-mansionize play. It features highly favorable demographics, no hazard blockers, and a massive gap between the purchase basis and local new-build values. The highly permissive ADU and SB 9 pathways provide an excellent runway for maximizing site density.

Proforma ROI Calculator

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.

Zoning allows roughly 2,940 sqft on this lot, and the default builds to that envelope. The FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap.

Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Sunnyvale (94087): $1,450/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 2,900 sqft build, because smaller houses sell for more per foot and pricing a rebuild off them overstates resale.

Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.

Carry on total capital for the project duration. At 0% the model is a cash purchase; 12 months at a typical construction-loan rate moves ROI by 6 to 10 points on a deal this size, so price it with your real rate.
