Building height maximum is 42 feet. This is among the most permissive and valuable zoning designations in South Lake Tahoe, and parcels of this size within the Tourist Core rarely come to market.The Infrastructure AdvantageFor any food and beverage or hospitality operator, the existing buildout represents an estimated $150,000-$300,000 in avoided construction costs.
The former brewery infrastructure includes drainage systems beneath the floors, ventilation above the ceiling, and a capped fresh water well. The bar space has received new sheetrock, insulation, flooring, upgraded electrical and plumbing, and an ADA-compliant bar counter.
The building is positioned to receive a caf, taproom, restaurant, juice bar, or similar concept with significantly less capital outlay than a ground-up buildout would require.The Investment CaseThis is a value-add acquisition in a supply-constrained tourist market. A stabilized, multi-tenant pro forma leasing the commercial spaces at market rates of $2.50/SF/month NNN supports a gross income of $167,730 annually and a pro forma CAP rate of 9.33%.
