Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This is a 6-unit mixed-use commercial property totaling 4,300 square feet, including an anchored 1,620-square-foot ground-floor suite. The offering also includes two income-producing tenancies in Units 6 and 7, plus one owner-occupied suite (Unit 2, 410 square feet) that is scheduled to vacate at close of escrow. Three suites are currently vacant—Units 1, 4, and 5—available for immediate lease-up. Unit 1 is the building’s anchor space, and the seller has developed plans for that suite, with details and transferability available to qualified buyers during due diligence.

The property sits on a 10,890-square-foot lot in the Eastside corridor of Santa Barbara, and features 13 dedicated surface parking spaces. The site is zoned C-2, supporting a range of commercial uses. The corridor is actively adding residential density, which can help support everyday neighborhood demand.

For tenants and buyers, the mix of in-place income, near-term vacancy from Unit 2, and multiple immediately available suites creates a straightforward leasing pathway. The anchor suite’s developed plans may be particularly relevant for an operator looking to bring a defined concept to the property, while the C-2 zoning and dedicated parking support practical day-to-day customer access.
