An 8,000-square-foot infill site on an adopted Urban Village corridor — a 264-square-foot sales office on a fully served block.
A rectangular commercial lot with one hundred feet of frontage on West San Carlos Street and secondary access on Rutland Avenue.

The clean geometry, and the corner condition, is what makes it unusually flexible for its size.
