The assets feature 5 X one-bedroom, one-bathroom units, and 3 X two-bedroom, one-bathroom units. Built in 1944, 2127-2133 Dwight Way and 2137-2143 Dwight Way are both ±2,586 SF, two-story structures, both on their own ±6,075 SF lot for a total combined lot size of ±12,150 SF. The properties each feature a large parking area at the rear of their respective parcels with a total of 20+ surface parking spaces.
The properties are ideally located in a designated Opportunity Zone and may lend themselves to certain tax advantages if acquired through a Qualified Opportunity Fund. The properties are situated in the C-SA zoning district and by right may allow for a base residential building that is up to three stories and ±14,580 SF. With the State of California Affordable Housing Density Bonus, the current zoning may allow for a ±21,870 SF residential building. With concessions made available to projects that contain affordable units, there is potential that a developer would be able to retain the existing structures. Alternatively, the properties may allow for the addition of detached accessory dwelling units and/or junior dwelling units.
