Investment Summary
The property offers investors a unique combination of stable current cash flow with substantial rent growth potential.

Desirable MU-1 zoning and a high-visibility 0.45-acre parcel further position this asset as both a strong near-term income play and a long-term redevelopment or repositioning candidate.
