Marcus & Millichap's Ovaness-Rostamian Group is pleased to present the Crescent Building, a rare value-add and redevelopment opportunity located in the heart of Downtown Riverside's Mission District, just one block from the world-renowned Mission Inn Hotel & Spa.
Situated within one of Southern California's most vibrant urban districts, the property enjoys immediate proximity to the Riverside Convention Center, museums, restaurants, nightlife, Metrolink commuter rail, and convenient access to the 91 Freeway. Downtown Riverside continues to benefit from substantial public and private investment, creating a compelling backdrop for future redevelopment.
Significant predevelopment and entitlement work has already been completed, providing incoming ownership with a defined and accelerated path toward execution. Existing plans contemplate approximately 5,900 square feet of retail storefront space, 10,000 square feet of upper-level office space, and 2,500 square feet of basement retail or storage space.
Surrounded by successful adaptive reuse projects including Imperial Lofts and Stadler Plaza, the property offers investors, developers, and owner-users multiple potential strategies, including mixed-use, hospitality, residential, office, entertainment, and other creative uses. Existing income helps offset carrying costs while ownership completes the remaining approval process.
In addition, the property may offer Historic Tax Credit and other redevelopment incentive opportunities, subject to buyer verification, creating the potential for additional value and enhanced project economics.
With flexible month-to-month tenancy, substantial predevelopment progress already achieved, and multiple potential exit strategies, the Crescent Building represents a unique opportunity to create a transformative project in the center of Downtown Riverside.
