EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

717 Laurel Street is currently a single tenant building comprised of approximately 5,550 sf of ground floor retail space with +/-1,800 sf of additional mezzanine space. Value can be added by re-tenanting the space and possibly demising it down for multiple retail units. The building will also be available for an owner/user to occupy when the current tenant's lease expires in March 2026. San Carlos is undergoing tremendous development which will make the property a solid long term investment. The City has permanently closed this section of the street to vehicular traffic and has a vision to transform the 700 block of Laurel Street into a public plaza, thereby paving the way for a more vibrant and pedestrian-friendly downtown.
LOCATION DESCRIPTION
San Carlos is located between two major economic hubs San Francisco and San Jose as well as within a ten minute drive from approximate 24
million sf of office space occupied by high paying companies in the fields of technology, finance, law, life/bio sciences and health care. Here is a
partial list of some of the major employers in the surrounding area: Oracle, Visa, Electronic Arts, Sutter/Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Novartis,
PG&E Zuora, Evernote, Check Point, MarkLogic, Nikon, Zuora, Acxiom, Natera, Shutterfly, Nintendo, Bristol Myers Squibb, Box, Fisher

Robolox, Franklin Templeton, Tano Capital, Coupa, Qualys, IBM, Marketo, Gunderson Dettmar, Fish & RIchardson, Seiler LLP, and Goodwin & Procter.
The city of San Carlos describes itself as, "ideally situated between San Francisco and San Jose, San Carlos is easily accessed by highways,
railways and airways. The ultimate in geography and livability, it strikes a rare balance between small-town charm and big-city access. Here, a
quaint village feeling goes hand in hand with the latest global advances. It's the best of both worlds, in an extremely convenient and pleasant
location."
