This is a one of the circa 1920's Guadalupe commercial buildings. Built about 1929 and retrofitted in the recent past, it has served as a landmark in the community and is known for maintaining its classic facade. One suite currently contains the long time La Simpatia Restaurant and Bar (the business is NOT for sale). While closed during the building's seismic retrofit some years back, the restaurant has operated since 1944. The remainder of the street level units consist of two vacant suites which front Hwy1. Upstairs currently in remodel stage, are 14 boarding house style rooms and 4 utility/restrooms. Interior photos of the entire building coming soon. Sellers have plans to develop the vacant part of the lot for multi family/H2A housing and have a nearly fully entitled 24 unit project that seller estimates could probably be permitted in a few months. Sellers have planning approval from City Council and have submitted construction documents to the city. They've received comments and have not resubmitted (as of October 2025).

Right on the main road of Guadalupe, in the heart of downtown sits a massive mixed used building with a ton of potential. It underwent a full remodel along with a seismic fit between 2011 and 2012. The building consists of 3 different levels, all roughly 3000 sqft. The first being the basement, which is partially finished offering lot of usable space. The primary floor, once a dance hall offers lot of open space and even retains its original ticket booth and wine barrel open bar! Also there are 2 ADA approved bathrooms on the primary floor. The primary floor is very noise proof as it offers sounds boards installed for that purpose. The primary floor offers 2 different mezzanines, one in the rear and one in the front. The front mezzanine houses the sound studio, and the back one boasts a full one bedroom, one bath apartment style living. As you walk up to the second floor you are greeted by more living quarters paneled with original wood and exposed brick. Currently used as an big office, it can easily be cut up into different styles of living (check with county). There is also a backyard that offers enough space for entertaining or potentially building an ADU for extra living space or owner live in (check with county). Owner may carry (owner carry)
