517 Chapala St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101
Property Description
517 Chapala Street is an entitled redevelopment site in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, one block off State Street. The +/-11,325 SF lot (0.26 acres) is zoned C2 and currently operates as a used car dealership, but its value lies in what comes next. The seller holds entitlements for a residential development, giving the next owner a head start if they choose to carry those plans forward, or the flexibility to take the site in a different direction. Contact the listing team for entitlement details.The timing aligns with a wave of institutional investment reshaping the downtown core. UC Regents acquired a property directly across the street last year, and Yardi Systems is relocating its corporate headquarters to Paseo Nuevo two blocks away, bringing roughly 600 employees into the immediate area. With strong Chapala Street frontage, walkable access to State Street retail, the Amtrak station, and the waterfront, and residential demand running well ahead of supply, 517 Chapala offers a rare shovel ready position in one of California's most supply constrained coastal markets.

Recorded sales in this period (0)
No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
