1637-1651 Stanford St 0.53 Acres of Commercial Land Offered at $6,000,000 in Santa Monica, CA 90404

637–1651 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.
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.
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.
The surrounding area features a dynamic mix of creative office, residential, and retail uses, along with excellent connectivity to transit and major thoroughfares. Opportunities to acquire infill sites of this scale in Santa Monica are extremely limited, making this a compelling investment for developers, affordable housing operators, and institutional investors alike.
