Overview

This listing offers a commercial land lease with the option to build to suit. The property is presented as a corner lot suitable for a tenant that wants flexibility in how improvements are designed and delivered. The asking structure is a monthly land lease, with a build-to-suit alternative discussed in the remarks.

The site is located in Chico, CA at 996 E 1st Avenue (95926). The property is near the intersection of E 1st Avenue and Hwy 99, and the remarks note a very high traffic count, which may support businesses that benefit from frequent passing motorists.

For prospective tenants and developers, the build-to-suit option can help align the improvements with operational needs while securing a leasehold on a prominent corner location. Interested parties can inquire to confirm feasibility for their intended use and to review build-to-suit requirements and timing. This is best suited for operators seeking a land-based entry point and the ability to tailor the site’s improvements rather than taking an existing building.
