The existing structure may be suitable for a number retail and creative alternate uses. The underlying land is desirable for a variety of uses but specifically designated by the city as the Howard Avenue Mixed Use District allowing ground floor retail with residential and office uses on the upper floors. The location is one of the most dynamic on the San Francisco Peninsula due to its proximity to the Burlingame Caltrain stop (4 min walk) and to Burlingame Avenue which is one of the premier retail districts on the mid-peninsula.
