Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property at 717 Laurel Street is a single-tenant building featuring approximately 5,550 square feet of ground floor retail space, complemented by an additional +/- 1,800 square feet of mezzanine space. The property offers value-add potential through re-tenanting and possible subdivision into multiple retail units. It is also suitable for owner-user occupancy when the current tenant's lease expires in July 2026. Located in San Carlos, the property benefits from ongoing development in the area, making it a potentially solid long-term investment. The city has permanently closed this section of Laurel Street to vehicular traffic with plans to transform the 700 block into a public plaza, fostering a more vibrant and pedestrian-friendly downtown environment.
