Marketing description
LOT 5 – Approved Mixed-Use Retail & Apartment Pad at Ortega Hwy & Grand Ave, Lake Elsinore, California presents a rare opportunity to acquire an entitled fee-simple mixed-use development pad within one of Southern California’s most strategic gateway corridors. Positioned as the centerpiece of the 12.54-acre master-planned project, this ±1.35-acre site is approved for approximately 23,000 SF of ground-floor retail and 14 second-story apartment units totaling approximately 20,000 SF, for roughly 43,000 SF of total development.
Designed for strong dual-income potential, the project combines high-visibility retail frontage with built-in residential demand above—creating a dynamic live-work environment that supports both tenant performance and long-term value. The site offers exceptional exposure along SR-74 and Grand Ave, with traffic counts of approximately 50,000+ vehicles per day and access to a 5-mile population base exceeding 90,000 residents.
Ideal for grocery, fitness, pharmacy, food-and-beverage, and multifamily operators, this approved mixed-use pad benefits from a powerful “last-exit” location between Riverside and Orange County. Asking price: $7,500,000.
Investment highlights
- True Vertical Mixed-Use: 23,000 sq. ft. of ground retail + 14 apartments above creates a self-reinforcing income structure where residential income supports operations during retail lease-up - and retail amenities command rent premiums for residents.
- Retail Anchor Potential: At 23,000 sq. ft., the ground floor accommodates a regional grocery anchor (specialty, natural, or discount format), a fitness operator, a pharmacy, or a multi-tenant strip of service and food-and-beverage retailers.
- 14 Apartment Units: Second-story residential provides immediate recurring income with minimal vacancy exposure given Lake Elsinore's documented housing shortage and low rental vacancy rates.
- Live-Work Synergy: Residents living directly above ground-floor retail create a built-in customer base for commercial tenants - a proven demand dynamic at successful mixed-use centers across California.
- Gateway Positioning: SR-74 and Grand Ave frontage ensures that Lot 5 retail benefits from the same captive regionaltraffic as the fuel and QSR pads - without being limited to the drive-through format.
- Fee Simple, Entitled: Full ownership of the land with nearing-final tract map approval. No shared equity structures or
- ground lease complications.
- Grocery anchor: Grocery Outlet, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, Vallarta
- Fitness/wellness: Planet Fitness, OrangeTheory, yoga or martial arts
- Pharmacy/health: CVS, Rite Aid, urgent care clinic
- Mixed food/beverage: Restaurant row, coffee, juice bar, bakery
- Residential: Market-rate or workforce apartment operator
