Rare C-3 Opportunity Zone Investment | Transit-Oriented | Value-Add + Owner-User Potential
Exceptional opportunity to acquire a rare C-3 zoned commercial property positioned in a designated Opportunity Zone within a rapidly transforming redevelopment corridor. Strategically located adjacent to the light rail station, this high-visibility, transit-oriented asset offers unmatched accessibility, strong foot traffic, and long-term appreciation potential as the surrounding area continues to evolve.
The property is currently improved with multiple tenants on month-to-month leases, providing immediate in-place cash flow while offering flexibility for repositioning, lease restructuring, or owner occupancy. This structure creates an ideal scenario for investors seeking upside through rental adjustments or redevelopment, as well as for an owner-user who wants to offset occupancy costs with supplemental rental income.
Zoned C-3, the property allows for a wide range of commercial uses, making it well-suited for:
Creative studios and artist suites
Wellness and personal service providers
Professional offices
Boutique retail or gallery space
Mixed-use redevelopment (subject to city approvals)
The existing layout lends itself to private suites, making it especially attractive for artists, designers, therapists, beauty professionals, and other service-based businesses seeking affordable, flexible space in a growing district.
With strong fundamentals—prime zoning, opportunity zone tax advantages, transit adjacency, and redevelopment momentum—this asset presents a compelling blend of current income and long-term upside.
Ideal for investors, developers, or owner-users seeking cash flow with future growth potential.

C-3 typically allows:
Larger building footprints
Greater floor area ratios (FAR)

Investor Advantage: Hybrid investment + operational flexibility.
6. Strong Exit Liquidity
Because C-3 is typically one of the most desirable commercial classifications:
