Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property presents a high-density development opportunity with strong multifamily potential, reportedly allowing up to 16 residential units, though buyers should verify this. The owner and architect have suggested multiple development options, including a four-story, 13-unit apartment building with ground-floor commercial space, eight three-story townhouses each with an ADU, and an eight-unit condo concept with three-bedroom units. Site plans are available in the disclosures. The property is located within walking distance of the B Street BART station, providing commuter access throughout the Bay Area, making it attractive to renters and condo buyers. Situated near revitalizing Downtown Hayward, the site benefits from new mixed-use projects, restaurants, retail, and cultural amenities that drive rental demand and long-term appreciation. Convenient access to I-880, I-580, and Mission Blvd (Hwy 238) ensures connectivity to Silicon Valley, Oakland, and San Francisco. The property is near Cal State East Bay, a key enrollment driver supporting consistent housing demand. Hayward encourages transit-oriented, higher-density development in its downtown corridor. Buyers should investigate potential city or county incentives and housing programs. This infill opportunity is located in a supply-constrained, transit-oriented location, ideal for maximizing long-term value and return.

  • High‑density development opportunity with potential for up to 16 residential units.
