The property
Clear information first. Independent diligence next.
4728 W 1st Street is marketed through auction as an active Commercial Sale / Mixed Use offering in Santa Ana, Orange County.
The latest CRMLS record identifies an existing, one-level 1,625 SF building on a 9,583 SF (0.220-acre) parcel, with public water. The listing describes W. 1st Street frontage, a freestanding retail/office building, and private rear parking. Independently verify property condition, area, occupancy, permits, lawful use, and all transaction details.
CRMLS directions: East of Euclid; travel eastbound on Bolsa Avenue. Property is on the right.
Get directionsProperty views
Supplied exterior and aerial images for general property context.
Images are provided for general property context. Prospective bidders should conduct their own inspection and rely on current due-diligence materials for decisions.
Interactive review
This section supports an embedded 3D virtual tour as soon as a verified tour URL is added to the property configuration. Until then, bidders should use the current listing and available documentation as their source for access and property review.
Conditional co-living design study
The supplied design tests a compact mixed-use program that retains a commercial baseline and considers a separately approved shared-housing level only after legal, physical, and economic gates are cleared.
Spatial logic
Conventional commercial reuse remains the reported base case; public operations should stay distinct from any resident functions.
A separate resident path is considered only where approved layout, fire/life-safety strategy, and access requirements allow it.
Kitchen, bathing, laundry, storage, IT, cleaning, and MEP access are organized as a deliberate serviceable core.
Potential private rooms belong only on qualifying perimeter conditions; no interior area is presumed rentable.
Verification sequence
01Establish lawful occupancy, permits, certificates, planning/fire records, title, and survey baseline.
02Reconcile existing conditions through measurement and professional review, including MEP capacity, access, parking, and structure.
03Complete an architect-led, approved test fit before advancing a shared-housing layout, cost basis, or operating model.
Commercial site context
The CRMLS description characterizes this as an Orange County commercial-corridor location with direct W. 1st Street frontage, private rear parking, and a ±9,380 SF C5-zoned lot. The CRMLS fact grid separately reports a 9,583 SF Assessor lot size. It markets the existing retail/office building to owner-users or investors and describes an asserted long-term land-play opportunity.
The same listing remarks reference a potential ±18,295 SF assemblage with 4802 W. 1st Street, mixed-use concepts under California SB 6, a nearby 60-unit townhome project, a planned nine-story mixed-use tower, and modeling of 12–20 units with cited for-sale ranges of $850K–$950K per unit.
These are CRMLS listing remarks, not confirmed entitlement, approval, use, value, or feasibility conclusions. Existing commercial reuse remains the source-supported baseline; independently verify zoning, permits, site conditions, and any future-use assumptions.
