Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1953, this midcentury retail duplex offers 1,875 square feet of street-facing commercial space divided into two distinct storefront units. Each unit is currently operating on month-to-month leases: one as a neighborhood café and the other as a barber shop. The property also features recently updated storefronts, supporting continued visibility and tenant-ready presentation.

The property is located at 1609-1611 Palou Avenue in San Francisco’s Bayview District. It is described as being just steps from the 3rd Street transit corridor, placing the retail frontage near a major transit access point. The asset is positioned along a corridor with nearby residential development activity, with the remarks citing over 8,900 new housing units in nearby pipelines.

From an ownership standpoint, the configuration supports either continued operation of the two existing uses or flexible occupancy planning as leases turn over, subject to applicable requirements. The property is identified with NC-3 neighborhood commercial zoning, which can support a range of neighborhood-oriented retail uses. For an owner-user, the duplex format allows for managing two storefronts under a single roof while maintaining separate unit identities.
