AddressIntel AI Briefing
The optimal play here is an SB 9 lot split into multiple units, capitalizing on a generous lot size and the highly lucrative AB 1033 pathway to sell off ADUs as individual condos. With zero hazard blockers and a highly active municipal permit environment, developers can confidently execute a high-density project. The massive spread between the asking price and regional high-end comparable sales highlights this as a premier institutional-grade development candidate.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 5,097 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 3 recent single-family sales in San Jose (95124): $1,150/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 5,100 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.
Projected Profit
Warning: Margin is tight for the construction risk.
