Solvang, California, 93463

425 1st Street in Solvang presents a rare 21,344 SF VMU (Village Mixed Use) development site located just one block from Copenhagen Drive in the heart of the city's high-traffic tourism corridor. The property, formerly the Water Wheel building and scheduled for demolition, offers a true clean-slate opportunity for a variety of uses including boutique hotel, mixed-use, residential, or senior housing. Positioned within the highly desirable Santa Ynez Valley, the site benefits from strong tourism demand, walkability to shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms, and a significant lack of new boutique hotel supply. VMU zoning provides flexibility for multiple development strategies, with potential to increase density through California State Density Bonus Law (buyer to verify).

Santa Monica, California, 90404

1637- 1651 Stanford Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a +/- 23,134 square foot development site in one of Santa Monica's most supply-constrained and highly desirable locations. Comprised of four parcels and zoned SMLMSD (Santa Monica Light Manufacturing & Studio District), the property offers significant flexibility for residential, creative office, or mixed-use development. Preliminary plans have been explored for a 71-unit 100% affordable housing development, highlighting the site's ability to support meaningful density under current planning frameworks. With the continued evolution of California housing legislation, there is potential to further enhance density through programs such as the State Density Bonus Law, creating an attractive opportunity for developers seeking to maximize yield in a high-barrier-to-entry market. Located just minutes from the Water Garden, Bergamot Station, and major employers such as Oracle, Amazon Studios, and Red Bull, the site sits at the epicenter of Santa Monica's thriving creative and tech corridor. This prime positioning provides strong demand drivers for both residential and mixed-use projects.
