Architectural studies illustrate two distinct paths: a for-sale configuration featuring four spacious 2-bedroom condominium residences with a separate structure offering two additional 2-bedroom ADUs, all supported by parking within a shared ground-level garage; or a rental-focused design allowing for up to 20 units comprised of a mix of two-bedroom and studio apartments. The apartment concept includes structured parking. The contemporary three-story design features private patios and balconies, elevator access, and a modern coastal architectural aesthetic as depicted in the renderings, which are for illustrative purposes only. With flexible development potential in a supply-constrained submarket, this property offers multiple strategies for build-to-sell, build-to-rent, or long-term hold. Buyer to verify all development standards and requirements with the City of Costa Mesa and the County of Orange. Architectural floor plans are available upon request.
