Investment Overview

899 W San Carlos St is an exceptional retail investment opportunity located in the thriving city of San Jose, California. Situated along the West San Carlos corridor, 899 W San Carlos St offers a rare combination of central location, exible commercial and residential use, and long-term redevelopment potential. The property is a short walk to Willow Glen, minutes from Downtown San Jose, and down the road from Westeld Valley Fair Mall, providing convenient access to retail, dining, and services throughout the South Bay. Diridon Station is nearby, and Interstate 280 is easily accessible for regional commuting. The property is zoned Mixed Use Commercial (MUC) and falls within the West San Carlos Urban Village Plan, an area targeted for higher-density, mixed-use, and transit-oriented development. Recent and ongoing projects in the surrounding Sunol-Midtown neighborhood support the site’s long-term land value and redevelopment prospects. The existing layout includes 7 total bedrooms across three components: a front mixed- use/live-work unit (2BR/1BA), a central primary residence (2BR/1BA), and a rear ADU (3BR/2BA). In addition to investors, this conguration is well suited for an owner-user business operator, allowing for a live-work setup with on-site exibility, while also accommodating multigenerational living or supplemental rental income. A large central patio provides usable outdoor space, currently congured as a garden and play area, and may be recongured for additional parking to support future commercial use. The main house also includes a large basement offering additional storage and utility space. The investment appeal of this asset is driven by San Jose’s strong employment fundamentals and low vacancy levels. With a world-class location in the Silicon Valley, 899 W San Carlos St presents an attractive choice to potential retail tenants due to its close proximity to major employers, transportation corridors, and lifestyle amenities.
