An extraordinary development opportunity awaits in the heart of Downtown San Luis Obispo at 452 Higuera Street. This rare, creekside property spans two adjacent APNs and represents a premier acquisition for developers, contractors, and investors looking to capitalize on a highly prized location. While the site currently features four income-generating residential units (three 3-bedroom/1-bathroom homes and one 1-bedroom/1-bathroom home), the true value of this offering is in the land and its highest and best use as a high-density, mixed-use project. Zoned CR Retail Commercial and allowing for up to 36 density units per acre, the lot is perfectly positioned to support the City of SLO’s long-term initiative for urban infill housing. Future residents will enjoy a vibrant lifestyle in the absolute center of downtown, surrounded by thriving shops, offices, and restaurants. To fast-track your development plans, a professional feasibility study by RRM Design Group has already been completed, highlighting two lucrative pathways: a boutique 11-unit luxury for-sale townhome development, or a higher-density 20-unit condo or apartment complex. Opportunities in this tightly held downtown corridor are exceptionally rare—bring your vision to this premier location and shape the future of San Luis Obispo.
