AddressIntel AI Briefing

An SB 9 lot split is the optimal play on this massive, underutilized 12,632 sqft parcel. Liquefaction is present, but the incredible lot-to-house ratio offers massive development margins that easily offset foundation engineering costs. Developers can establish multiple high-value single-family homes to meet strong local demand.
