PCH Center comprises approximately 2.18 acres and 34,453 square feet across four C-2 zoned buildings in Torrance, California, along Pacific Coast Highway. The multi-tenant retail property is 96% occupied by a diverse tenant mix including office, restaurant, fitness, retail, dental, and service tenants, generating stable in-place income. Most leases are month-to-month, enabling a new owner to adjust rents to market rates, restructure terms, or convert to NNN formats. Priced upon request and offered as a 1031-exchange opportunity, the asset combines immediate cash flow with significant redevelopment potential.
The property benefits from exceptional visibility along Highway 1, with exposure to approximately 39,000 vehicles per day in one of the South Bay's most affluent commercial corridors. The surrounding trade area is anchored by Torrance Airport, Skypark Office Park, and Torrance Memorial Medical Center, with average household incomes approaching $180,000 within a three-mile radius. The C-2 zoning supports broad commercial and mixed-use development, with potential for approximately 59 residential units by right, up to 72 units under the City's Housing Element density targets, and greater density through California's State Density Bonus Law with affordable housing components.
The site includes 135 parking spaces and is held in fee simple ownership. The month-to-month lease structure, combined with the property's location near schools and strong daytime activity, positions the asset for both near-term income optimization and long-term value creation.
