The optimal play is teardown-and-mansionize to build a new luxury primary residence, as SB 9 density pathways are blocked here. The property's original condition and high-income Cupertino demographics support a premium single-family redevelopment. A newly constructed home would command excellent value based on highly favorable size-matched comparable sales.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Median of 4 recent multi-family sales in Cupertino (95014): $768/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 3,900 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.
