4152 Bachman Place

San Diego, CA 92103

4152–4164 Bachman Place presents a rare, high-density infill development opportunity in San Diego’s Uptown / Hillcrest medical corridor—one of the city’s most stable and employment-driven submarkets. The site is located one block south of the expanding UCSD Medical Center campus and two blocks from Scripps Mercy Hospital, placing it at the center of a dense concentration of hospitals, medical offices, specialty clinics, pharmacies, and supporting services. This institutional adjacency drives consistent residential demand and long-term market resilience. The offering consists of an approximately 10,000 square foot land assemblage zoned CC-3-8 (Commercial Community – FAR 8), one of San Diego’s highest-intensity mixed-use zoning designations. The zoning allows for multifamily residential, medical office, commercial, or mixed-use development, providing flexibility to respond to market demand within a proven urban employment hub. The property is further enhanced by its location within the Complete Communities Housing Solutions (CCHS) Overlay, Tier 2, enabling increased density and development efficiency through program compliance. Under current zoning and overlay regulations, the site supports up to an 8.0 FAR, translating to an estimated ±80,000 square feet of buildable area on the existing footprint. Base height allowances reach up to approximately 100 feet, with additional flexibility achievable through CCHS incentives. Zero-lot-line construction is permitted, maximizing site efficiency and supporting dense, urban development patterns that are increasingly difficult to replicate in San Diego’s infill neighborhoods. Bachman Place provides a unique infrastructure advantage: it is the only surface street offering a direct vehicular and pedestrian connection between Uptown and Mission Valley / Interstate 8. This positioning delivers superior regional access, visibility, and connectivity compared to surrounding parcels, enhancing both residential desirability and long-term asset performance. The site also benefits from strong walkability (Walk Score ~88), nearby transit access, and proximity to Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, University Heights, and Balboa Park. The offering includes substantial entitlement and design progress, with a coordinated architectural and engineering plan set supporting a ±56,000 square foot development concept, significantly reducing entitlement risk, design timelines, and upfront soft costs for a future developer. Seller financing is available, providing additional flexibility to capitalize the project and improve overall returns. In addition, there is an option to acquire adjacent parcels, allowing a buyer to expand the land footprint by an additional ±8,000 square feet, creating a larger assemblage with enhanced scale, density potential, and design optionality. With high-intensity zoning, institutional adjacency, strong connectivity, entitlement momentum, and flexible capital structure, 4152–4164 Bachman Place represents a compelling opportunity to develop a high-density residential or mixed-use project in one of San Diego’s most supply-constrained urban corridors.
