AddressIntel AI Briefing
This massive Cupertino lot represents a premier teardown-and-mansionize play, allowing for a spectacular estate up to over seven thousand square feet. A brand-new custom build of this scale will capture maximum premium in a highly desirable school district where comparable sales exceed nine million dollars. Given the generous acreage, a stealth density play with multiple luxury ADUs is also highly feasible.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 8,037 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 10 recent single-family sales in Cupertino (95014): $1,112/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 50% of the 8,000 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.
Interest on the purchase price for the whole project plus half the build budget, since construction draws ramp up. The default is 7% over 33 months, the median purchase-to-sale time of 239 real Peninsula and South Bay rebuilds. Set the rate to 0 for a cash purchase, or use your own lender's terms.
