Investment Highlights

  • Fully entitled student housing development site near UC Davis.
  • Planned development includes 20 residential units.
  • Located approximately one block from the UC Davis campus.
  • Approved for a five-story residential building.
  • Designed around three- and four-bedroom layouts.
  • Development rights, plans, and approvals included in sale.

Executive Summary

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully entitled, conditionally approved multifamily development site just one block from the University of California, Davis. Providing a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom units with 15% of the units being affordable housing. Positioned in one of the region's strongest rental markets, this project is designed to deliver 20 apartment units totaling 75 beds, making it ideally suited for student housing, graduate housing, faculty and staff residences, or other university-related residential uses. With major entitlement milestones already achieved, the project offers a significant head start compared to a ground-up entitlement process, allowing a developer to focus on completing the remaining pre-construction requirements and moving toward permit issuance. The project has received its entitlements and conditional approvals. Prior to issuance of building permits, the buyer will need to complete the remaining architectural, engineering, and related soft-cost documentation required by the City, including preparation and submission of final construction drawings and associated consultant plans. This provides an opportunity for the purchaser to finalize design details while avoiding the time, uncertainty, and expense associated with securing initial project approvals. The Davis market continues to experience strong demand for high-quality housing driven by university enrollment, faculty recruitment, research activity, and limited housing supply. Development opportunities this close to campus are increasingly scarce, making this project an attractive investment for developers seeking a well-positioned multifamily asset with substantial entitlement work already completed. This offering combines an irreplaceable infill location, advanced project approvals, and the opportunity to deliver purpose-built housing in one of California's most supply-constrained university markets.

Fully Entitled 20-Unit 75-Bed Multifamily Development Site.

Description

The property's location directly benefits from Davis' established university-driven housing demand. UC Davis enrollment is reported at approximately 40,000 students, while local housing supply constraints, strict growth controls, and limited multifamily development activity have contributed to ongoing demand for student-oriented housing options. The project's proximity to campus provides convenient access for residents and supports its positioning as a purpose-built student housing asset. Ownership includes the site together with associated development rights, approvals, and plans, offering investors and developers the opportunity to advance a fully entitled project in one of California's most supply-constrained university housing markets.
