A RARE BIRD ROCK COASTAL INVESTMENT & REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY
5518-5520 La Jolla Boulevard presents a rare opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable commercial property in the heart of Bird Rock, one of Southern California’s most coveted coastal communities. Home to Lupi Vino Cucina Bar, a beloved neighborhood restaurant that has successfully operated at this location for more than two decades, the
property offers immediate income with exceptional near-term flexibility. With approximately one year remaining on the current lease term followed by a five-year Fair Market Value renewal option, investors have a unique opportunity to reset rents to market, negotiate a long-term lease extension with an established operator, reposition the property for a new tenant, or evaluate future redevelopment opportunities. Situated along the highly desirable La Jolla Boulevard corridor, the property benefits from outstanding pedestrian activity, affluent surrounding demographics, and immediate proximity to the Pacific Ocean, boutique retail, award winning restaurants, and the vibrant Bird Rock Village. Zoned LJPD-4, the site also offers compelling long-term mixed-use redevelopment potential, with opportunities to increase development intensity through available
zoning incentives and housing programs. Whether viewed as a stable coastal investment with significant upside or a strategic land acquisition for future redevelopment, 5518–5520 La Jolla Boulevard represents an exceptionally scarce opportunity to own one of the few commercial properties available in Bird Rock.
