A rare chance to acquire a fully entitled, ready-to-issue development site in the heart of Santa Monica, no entitlement risk, no waiting on the city, just permits and a shovel. Situated on a 7,500 square foot lot at 1434 14th Street, this RTI package delivers approved plans for a 3-story, 9-unit apartment building plus one ADU, over a full level of subterranean parking. The unit mix includes 1 three-bedroom, 3 two-bedrooms, 3 one-bedrooms, and 2 affordable two-bedroom units, a well-balanced program designed to maximize density while satisfying Santa Monica's Tier 2 Community Benefits requirements. Total building area comes in at approximately 10,811 square feet across three floors, with 10 parking spaces in the subterranean garage. The project was permitted under SMR3 zoning with a 35% density bonus, pushing the allowable unit count from 6 base units to 9. The existing improvements, a 1925 California Bungalow duplex, have been vacated and are sold as-is. The value is in the land and the entitlements. The location delivers everything Santa Monica multifamily tenants demand: walkable to several shops and restaurants, the Expo Line, Third Street Promenade, and the beach. High walk and bike scores virtually eliminate car dependency, which is exactly what the next generation of renters is underwriting. Opportunities to purchase a shovel-ready 9-unit site in Santa Monica at this price point don't come around often. Priced to reflect the land and approved entitlements.

1637- 1651 Stanford Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire a +/- 23,134 square foot development site in one of Santa Monica's most supply-constrained and highly desirable locations. Comprised of four parcels and zoned SMLMSD (Santa Monica Light Manufacturing & Studio District), the property offers significant flexibility for residential, creative office, or mixed-use development. Preliminary plans have been explored for a 71-unit 100% affordable housing development, highlighting the site's ability to support meaningful density under current planning frameworks. With the continued evolution of California housing legislation, there is potential to further enhance density through programs such as the State Density Bonus Law, creating an attractive opportunity for developers seeking to maximize yield in a high-barrier-to-entry market. Located just minutes from the Water Garden, Bergamot Station, and major employers such as Oracle, Amazon Studios, and Red Bull, the site sits at the epicenter of Santa Monica's thriving creative and tech corridor. This prime positioning provides strong demand drivers for both residential and mixed-use projects.
