3,312 SF single story commercial building on a 6,273 SF lot in a highly walkable Santa Cruz location

Marketing description

Prime owner-user opportunity in the heart of the vibrant Midtown corridor. This 3,312 SF freestanding building sits on a rare double parcel totaling 0.29 acres, offering a dominant presence with 100 feet of prime frontage on Water Street. Benefit from massive brand exposure and heavy daily traffic counts in one of the city's most sought-after commercial hubs.

The property is currently utilized as retail, but the flexible "CC" (Community Commercial) zoning provides incredible versatility for a wide variety of business types, including professional office, creative studio, or service-oriented enterprises. Located just minutes from major freeway on-ramps, the site offers effortless accessibility for clients and staff alike.

Midtown is the city's premier "live-work-play" destination, characterized by a high Walk Score and a bustling atmosphere. The area is home to a curated mix of artisanal coffee shops, popular eateries, and high-end residential lofts, ensuring a steady stream of local pedestrian activity. This is a rare chance to secure a high-visibility footprint in a high-growth corridor. Perfect for an owner-user looking to establish a flagship location while building long-term equity.

Investment highlights

  • Location Synergy: The property boasts 100 feet of frontage on Water Street, one of Santa Cruz's highest traffic-count arteries, connecting the Highway 1/17 interchange to the Eastside and Soquel.
  • Walkability: Midtown has transitioned into a "15-minute neighborhood." With a Walk Score in the 80s for this specific micro-pocket, it is supported by established anchors like Whole Foods and 24 Hour Fitness.
  • CC (Community Commercial) zoning is highly versatile.
