Executive Summary

Great opportunity for either an investor or owner/operator here: A classic building in the heart of Watsonville’s Central Business District with high vehicle and pedestrian traffic counts, plus convenient access to a public parking lot for customers and employees alike. The owner has invested an estimated $120K- $140K worth of TI’s, repairs, and capital improvements into the building. Under a short-range plan, you can repurpose the existing building for a broad range of uses ranging from a coffeehouse to a brewery to retail and offices space. Or go big out of the gates with a long-range plan to capitalize on the new density bonus programs and go vertical for a mixed-use development with commercial use at street level and up to 5 stories of residential units above. Possibilities for the future abound!
