Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
A built-in 1997 showroom warehouse on a 1.75-acre parcel, totaling 22,805 square feet. The building is designed with a large, open showroom area paired with a functional warehouse and distribution component. Operational loading is supported by one dock-high door and two grade-level roll-up doors, providing flexibility for showroom traffic and distribution needs. The property is delivered vacant, offering a turnkey option for an owner-user.
The site is located at 690 N 2nd Street in El Cajon, California, with direct access to Interstate 8. Interstate 8 carries roughly 120,000 vehicles per day, supporting strong exposure for a showroom-oriented tenant. The surrounding retail corridor includes major anchors such as Walmart, Sprouts, and Petco, along with numerous national retailers.
For tenants, this layout can support businesses that need both showroom presence and warehouse/distribution capabilities under one roof. For buyers, the asset presents an owner-user opportunity with immediate vacancy, as well as an alternative anchored by a stabilized leased scenario referenced in the offering at a $2.00/SF NNN asking rate. The combination of showroom space, loading access, and freeway connectivity can support a range of distribution and retail-related uses consistent with the property’s current improvements.
