Property Description
This three-unit retail property is strategically positioned within the strong commercial corridor of Harbor Gateway South. Although the property carries a Torrance mailing address, it is located within the jurisdiction of the Los Angeles, providing access to the City's economic base and regulatory framework while benefiting from South Bay consumer traffic. The property features an approximately 3,500 sq ft retail building on a 11,200 sq ft lot. The expansive lot provides ample space for secure parking, storage, operational staging, or potential reconfiguration to enhance value over time, (contingent upon buyer's zoning verification). The property is currently configured as three separate units, all of which are owner-occupied and will be delivered vacant at the close of escrow—presenting a rare opportunity for an owner-user seeking immediate occupancy or an investor pursuing market-rate lease-up in a supply-constrained submarket. One unit is built out with a commercial kitchen, including a restaurant-grade hood system, making it well-suited for food production, catering, ghost kitchen operations, or traditional restaurant use (subject to permits and approvals). The remaining two units are currently utilized as workshop space and offer flexible configurations adaptable to retail, creative studio, light industrial, service-oriented retail, or contractor uses. The rear portion of the property is gated and secured, enhancing functionality and security while supporting a range of operational uses. With its flexible layout, vacant delivery, and strategic South Bay-adjacent location, the property offers both immediate usability and long-term repositioning potential within a highly trafficked commercial corridor. The Property is prominently situated on the north side of Carson Street within the highly active Harbor Gateway commercial corridor. The property's prominent visibility and convenient access to two major thoroughfares enhance connectivity between the South Bay and greater Los Angeles, thereby supporting consistent vehicular traffic and consumer activity. Further enhancing the location's strength is its proximity—less than one mile—to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, one of the region's major healthcare and employment hubs. The medical center generates a steady influx of employees, patients, and visitors, contributing to daytime population density and supporting food, service, and convenience-oriented retail uses.
