12590 San Pablo Ave

Investment Overview

Located on Richmond’s busiest commercial corridor, 12590 San Pablo Avenue offers a standout retail opportunity for owner-users. This 3,638 SF freestanding building sits on a 6,000 SF corner lot, featuring high visibility with prominent pylon signage and bright street frontage. The property includes a private four-car parking lot and benefits from excellent exposure with over 20,000 vehicles passing daily. Just one block from I-80 and only seven minutes from the El Cerrito Del Norte BART station, the site is also served by multiple bus lines, ensuring strong regional connectivity. Zoned CM-4 (Commercial Mixed-Use), the property supports a wide range of uses—retail, food and beverage (including cafes and restaurants), personal services, medical offices, and more—providing flexibility for various business types. It is also designated “Medium Intensity Mixed-Use” in the 2030 Richmond General Plan, encouraging mid-rise, mixed-use development that activates the intersection and serves the neighborhood. For an owner-occupant, SBA financing could offer monthly costs lower than leasing a comparable nearby space, making this a compelling long-term investment in a growing area.
