AddressIntel AI Briefing
Located in a highly coveted Sunnyvale pocket, the home's high acquisition cost rules out a complete teardown play. Investors should focus on a stealth density strategy by converting the existing floor plan to accommodate a JADU and adding a backyard ADU. This minimizes structural risk while positioning the asset to capture top-of-market lease rates or a premium resale price.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~105 ft frontage × 107 ft deep, limited depth, an ADU likely sits beside the house rather than behind it. 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.
Redevelopment Potential
Existing home already uses most of the allowable floor area, little expansion headroom. Zoning allows roughly 3,332 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 3,332 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 Sunnyvale (94087): $1,334/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 3,300 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.
