AddressIntel AI Briefing
The optimal play is an SB 9 lot split into multiple units to carve out new parcels from this colossal 30,492 sqft lot. Even though the primary mansion is brand new (2026), the sheer volume of excess acreage permits highly lucrative density additions without disturbing the main house.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~244 ft frontage × 259 ft deep, a tucked-away rear unit is very private; access is typically via the pole driveway. A second street frontage lets an ADU take its own entrance and address.
Screening heuristic based on lot size, existing coverage, lot orientation, and hazard overlays. CA ADU law is ministerial statewide; verify max size, setbacks, and JADU owner-occupancy with the local planning dept.
Seller Motivation
Inferred from days on market and listing-description language (e.g. "as-is", "estate sale", "motivated seller"). A screening heuristic for likely negotiability, not a statement about the seller's circumstances.
Redevelopment Potential
Meaningful unused floor-area headroom under current zoning, room to add square footage. Zoning allows roughly 13,721 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 13,721 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 San Jose (95125): $1,163/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. No size-matched sales in San Jose, so this median mixes build sizes and reads high for a large rebuild.
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.
Projected Profit
Warning: Margin is tight for the construction risk.
