AddressIntel AI Briefing
The optimal play is an SB 9 lot split to subdivide this massive 11,326 sqft parcel. Because the primary residence is in turnkey condition, developers can preserve the existing home while building new, high-value single-family homes or ADUs on the newly split parcel. Liquefaction is a minor blocker that is easily mitigated by the lot's size.

Redevelopment Potential
