AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play is an SB 9 lot split into multiple units to maximize the oversized 9,148 sqft lot. While the site sits in a liquefaction zone, the 14.9% ROI provides enough cushion to absorb enhanced foundation engineering costs. This San Jose submarket has a strong appetite for multi-unit luxury infill.

Proforma ROI Calculator

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.

Zoning allows roughly 4,117 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): $1,082/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 4,100 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.
