    • Two‑story corner building on Laurel and Cherry St with ground‑floor retail and office space.
    • Ground floor currently configured into five units, providing retail and office income potential.
    • Second floor features 19 small office units, with approximately 14,000 total building SF.
    • Value‑add potential: renovate/modernize the 2nd floor and convert into one or two office suites for higher rents.
    • City permanently closed this street section to vehicular traffic and envisions transforming the 700 block of Laurel St into a public plaza.

    Overview

    This corner building offers a mixed configuration of ground-floor retail and office space arranged into five units, with a second floor comprised of 19 small office units. The property is presented as an investment and add-value opportunity, with upside driven by renovating and modernizing the second floor and reconfiguring it into one or two larger office suites while capturing additional rentable area currently excluded due to the existing second-floor layout.

    The building is located on the corner of Laurel and Cherry Street. The City has permanently closed this section of the street to vehicular traffic and has a vision to transform the 700 block of Laurel Street into a public plaza focused on a more pedestrian-friendly downtown environment.

    For tenants and buyers, the asset supports flexible office demand with multiple existing units on the second floor, while the ground level provides storefront-style frontage for retail-oriented uses and customer-facing service businesses. The broader San Carlos context includes proximity between the San Francisco and San Jose economic hubs and a regional concentration of employers across technology, finance, law, and health-related industries.
