4 minutes from Santa Clara University - 1793 Lafayette St offers a rare opportunity for an Owner/User to utilize the space and convert the 22,551 SqFt building into residential or build brand new: Townhomes, Multifamily, Co-Living, or Live/Work.
Recently zoned Medium-Density Residential, the 29,185 SqFt lot allows for 24 units + 8-9 potential ADUs. With the average rent in Santa Clara at $3,062, once converted into multifamily, the property can be expected to gross nearly $1.2M in rents per year.
For Affordable Housing: “You can increase the density up to 80% for a 100% affordable project. If you’re located within one-half mile from a major transit stop, there is no maximum density. That said, the project would still be subjected to any FAA and the SJ Airport height restriction. Please review the Density Bonus Code on Chapter 18.64 of the zoning code for more information.” - City of Santa Clara Senior Planner
Conveniently located less than a 10-minute drive from San Jose Mineta International Airport and Santa Clara Square Marketplace, this space resides within a thriving community with nearby amenities and parks. Recent upgrades to the building include a new roof and a 36 kW photovoltaic solar system, complemented by Silicon Valley Power, which ensures low energy costs. The owner/user tenant can occupy approximately 15,000 sq ft or the entire second floor.
Rents and home prices continue to climb, with demand for new townhomes, apartments, and condos evident in an ever-growing Silicon Valley. The property is now designated for medium-density residential use, allowing for 20-36 DU/acre. Per Planning department conversations, you can show plans to get the building up to residential code and then convert the building for residential use.
Buyers are to verify current zoning/building requirements/restrictions with the City of Santa Clara building department.
