This Value-add commercial property is single story commercial office/retail with superb exposure right on Walnut St, located between Lake Ave and Hill Ave, and south of 210 FWY, it is the first time this property is being offered for sale since 1973! It is on a large ±16,881 SF/0.39ACRE corner lot with high density CG (ECSP-CG-1 Commercial General – HIGH DENSITY) zoning – Allowed Use: This flexible zoning allows Retail, also permits medical offices, professional office suites, medical R&D, multi-family residential projects, and transit-oriented developments (BUYER TO VERIFY!).
