Property Description
517 Chapala Street is an entitled redevelopment site in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, one block off State Street. The +/-11,325 SF lot (0.26 acres) is zoned C2 and currently operates as a used car dealership, but its value lies in what comes next. The seller holds entitlements for a residential development, giving the next owner a head start if they choose to carry those plans forward, or the flexibility to take the site in a different direction. Contact the listing team for entitlement details.The timing aligns with a wave of institutional investment reshaping the downtown core. UC Regents acquired a property directly across the street last year, and Yardi Systems is relocating its corporate headquarters to Paseo Nuevo two blocks away, bringing roughly 600 employees into the immediate area. With strong Chapala Street frontage, walkable access to State Street retail, the Amtrak station, and the waterfront, and residential demand running well ahead of supply, 517 Chapala offers a rare shovel ready position in one of California's most supply constrained coastal markets.
