About this home
1517 Ricardo Street, Los Angeles, CA 90033 Prime Development Opportunity | LARD1.5 Zoning | 7,501 SF Lot An exceptional opportunity for developers and investors in one of Los Angeles's most active infill corridors. This 7,501 square foot lot is zoned LARD1.5 and has been held by the original owners since 1987, positioning it as a strong candidate for SB 8 demolition application buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence with qualified legal and planning professionals. The existing structure has sustained fire damage and is being sold strictly for its land value. The lot's zoning and dimensions may support the construction of up to 5 residential units, subject to verification by a licensed architect, engineer, and/or city planning consultant. All development potential, unit counts, and entitlement timelines should be independently confirmed by the buyer and their team prior to close of escrow. Adding to the area's momentum, neighboring properties at 1524, 1525, 1532, and 1571 Ricardo Street are all new construction developments on the same street, a strong indicator of the corridor's trajectory and growing demand for quality housing product in this submarket.
Boyle Heights, located between the Los Angeles River and East Los Angeles, is a historic and industrial Los Angeles neighborhood with hillside views and mural-lined streets. The scene concentrates around Mariachi Plaza at 1st Street and Boyle Avenue, where musicians, panaderías, taquerías, and small storefronts set a steady street-level rhythm. Craftsman bungalows and early 20th-century apartment courts mix with warehouses and rail corridors, giving blocks a textured, working-city feel. Self Help Graphics & Art anchors local printmaking and exhibitions. Casa 0101 Theater adds intimate stage productions in a compact arts hub. Hollenbeck Park and the Metro E Line keep daily routines tied to green space and transit.
