Description

Downtown Terrace is one of the most unique multi-family properties ever developed in the highly sought after Central Coast community of San Luis Obispo. The sixty (60) unit project is on the site of a former mobile home park. Because of this fact the development approvals were secured from the State of California not the City of San Luis Obispo. Downtown Terrace has several advantages over traditional multi-family developments. Among them are:
• California Department of Housing and Community Development has jurisdiction over the development of the site-not the City of San Luis Obispo
• The sixty (60) units is comprised of thirty (30) two (2) story modular buildings.
• The improvements are classified as “personal property” instead of real estate which results in lower property taxes.
• The central downtown San Luis Obispo location provides the tenants with numerous amenities within walking distance of the project.
• The 2020 completion date exempts the property from rent control for fifteen (15) years
• From completion to full occupancy was accomplished in ninety (90) days
• Current Rents are at least 6% below market
• All the units have stacked washer/dryer hook-ups included
• Each unit has an efficient tankless water heater
• Picnic area with gas barbecue grill is provided
• Security gate provides controlled access for tenants and their visitors
• Downtown Terrace is located in one of the most popular regions of California-The Central Coast
• The City of San Luis Obispo is a vibrant diverse area that includes the location of one of the States most well-respected universities-Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Downtown Terrace provides the sophisticated investor with a long term stable investment that will appreciate in value substantially over the coming years. Its unique history as a redeveloped mobile home park adds to its unique nature. The fact that it is new modular construction will limit maintenance and repair expense for many years.
