EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Capitalize on the value-add opportunity offered by State Street Theater in the sought-after Carlsbad Village.
Located at 2808 State Street, this iconic property has been a part of Carlsbad Village since its original construction in 1927. Beautifully maintained throughout the years, the painted brick façade and marquee make a striking impression on State Street. The building spans 8,843 square feet across two stories, with the first floor comprising 6,905 square feet and the second floor offering 1,938 square feet. The property sits on a 0.15-acre lot, maximizing the use of space. Ample street parking is available right in front of the building for guests and employees. Buyers have multiple options moving forward, depending on their specific vision. Owner/users can continue operating the property as a theater, or investors and developers have the option to redesign the property to suit their needs. The asset is delivered vacant, enabling immediate renovation. It features V-B zoning within the Village Barrio Zone and VC zoning under the Village Center-Master Plan. Approved uses include residential units (28–35 units per acre), convenience stores, restaurants, fitness clubs, and retail spaces.
Carlsbad Village is Carlsbad’s cultural center. Influenced by historic roots, proximity to beautiful beaches, and an unbeatable climate, The Village is a favorite destination of locals and tourists alike. Carlsbad Village and the adjacent historic neighborhood, known as The Barrio, are located at the northwest edge of the City of Carlsbad, on the Pacific Coast between San Diego and Orange County. Carlsbad Village and The Barrio are defined as the collection of city blocks running between Buena Vista Lagoon and Agua Hedionda, west of Interstate 5 along the Pacific coastline.
In recent years, the already thriving Carlsbad has been rediscovering its historic downtown as a center of civic life and economic vitality, as new firms and residents have begun migrating to the area. The Village and The Barrio neighborhoods have exploded with new development projects focused on redefining the beachside urban atmosphere with new restaurants, shopping, mixed-use projects, and transit-oriented development.
Property tours are available by appointment only. Please contact the listing broker to schedule.
