Property Description
Exceptional development and investment opportunity in the heart of West Chula Vista! Situated on an expansive 15,000 sq. ft. lot with convenient alley access, this property offers tremendous potential for developers, investors, and builders looking to capitalize on the continued growth and revitalization of the area. The oversized parcel provides ample space and flexibility for redevelopment, potential lot expansion concepts, or a custom residential project (buyer to verify zoning, density, and development possibilities with the City of Chula Vista). The alley access enhances the development potential by allowing for additional parking access, possible rear-entry garages, or improved site design for future construction. Located in an established neighborhood with close proximity to major transportation routes, shopping, dining, schools, and the rapidly evolving Chula Vista waterfront and urban core, this property is ideally positioned for long-term appreciation and redevelopment. Opportunities to acquire large infill parcels of this size in central Chula Vista are increasingly rare. Whether you're looking to renovate, hold as a rental, or pursue a development project, this property presents a unique chance to unlock the full potential of a sizable lot in a prime South Bay location. Buyer to verify all development possibilities, zoning, and use with the City of Chula Vista.
