Property & Location Overview
The Location: A Corridor in Transformation
6510 Cherry Avenue sits at the heart of a revitalizing North Long Beach. The property benefits from its proximity to major transit arteries, including the 91 and 710 freeways, making it easily accessible for clients or future residents.
The City of Long Beach is currently investing heavily in the Cherry Avenue corridor, including a $21M utility undergrounding project designed to enhance walkability, safety, and the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood. This infrastructure "facelift" is a clear signal of the area's transition toward a more modern, community-centric environment.
The Potential: Multi-Residential Repurposing
While the property currently serves as a mortuary, the 0.34-acre footprint and LBCCA zoning present a compelling case for adaptive reuse or ground-up redevelopment.
Residential Conversion: Under the city’s evolving "PlaceType" zoning and California’s recent housing mandates, this site is a prime candidate for a multi-residential project.
Opportunity Zone Synergy: Developing multi-family housing within an Opportunity Zone allows investors to potentially defer and reduce capital gains taxes, significantly enhancing the project’s net present value.
Market Demand: With a high demand for "missing middle" housing in Long Beach, a boutique apartment complex or townhome development would capitalize on the site's transit-accessible location and the neighboring residential density.
Buyer to Verify: The information provided herein is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. The buyer is strictly advised to conduct their own independent due diligence regarding zoning, land use, building permits, and the specific requirements for Opportunity Zone tax benefits. Any potential for "multi-residential" development is subject to City of Long Beach approval, density bonuses, and environmental review. Seller and Agent make no representations or warranties regarding the feasibility of future development projects.
