Located on Richmond's busiest commercial corridor, the 3,638 square foot freestanding building at 12590 San Pablo Avenue offers a retail opportunity for owner-users. Situated on a 6,000 square foot corner lot, the property features high visibility with prominent pylon signage and bright street frontage. A private four-car parking lot is included. The location benefits from exposure to over 20,000 vehicles passing daily. The site is one block from I-80 and seven minutes from the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station, and is served by multiple bus lines. Zoned CM-4 (Commercial Mixed-Use), the property supports a range of uses including retail, food and beverage (including cafes and restaurants), personal services, and medical offices.
