EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Growth Investment Group California is pleased to present 12207-12213 Valley Blvd and 3122 Maxson Rd, a rare Owner/User and/or Redevelopment opportunity situated along the highly coveted Valley Blvd corridor in El Monte, CA. Available for the first time in ±45 years, this property spans a substantial ±1.3-acre (±56,898 SF) corner lot (3 parcels). Rather than solely a land play, this site offers immediate operational utility for a business owner with the added security of tremendous long-term redevelopment potential in a rapidly growing submarket.
Immediate Owner/User Utility & Unmatched Exposure Currently configured as a single-story, low-maintenance automotive dealership and auto-body shop totaling ±9,389 SF, the property provides expansive parking and existing infrastructure ready for an operator. The site commands exceptional visibility with ±183 feet of prime street frontage at the intersection of Valley Blvd and Maxson Rd. A prominent pylon sign provides dominant signage, capturing sightlines from the nearby 10 FWY. Strategically located, the property offers superb, immediate access to Interstate 605 and Interstate 10, establishing it as a highly accessible regional destination. This positioning exposes the site to strong daily traffic counts of approximately ±23,380 vehicles on Valley Blvd and an impressive ±214,000 VPD on the 10 FWY.
Flexible C3 CMU Zoning & Long-Term Value While perfectly suited for an active owner/user today, the property's C3 (Commercial Mixed-Use) zoning provides a clean slate for savvy developers in the future. This flexible designation allows for a wide range of uses, yielding the highest permitted residential density for mixed-use residential, retail, office, or hospitality projects. An owner could comfortably operate their business now and eventually subdivide the lot—maintaining commercial use on one parcel while developing residential on the other. The financial viability of future development is heavily supported by recent local MLS data, with residential condominiums commanding attractive sold prices ranging from $645,000 to $742,000 (since May 2024). Buyers are encouraged to consult with the City of El Monte to verify specific development guidelines.
A Thriving Commercial & Cultural Hub Valley Blvd serves as the primary retail and cultural artery for several San Gabriel Valley cities, including El Monte, Alhambra, San Gabriel, and Rosemead. The area is a focal point for the local community and attracts significant attention through regional events like the Lunar New Year Parade. The immediate vicinity is undergoing massive transformation, fueled by both local investments and foreign capital, resulting in billions of dollars in active and completed developments. Notable neighboring projects include The Exchange at Gateway, Baldwin Rose Apartments, and several major hospitality additions such as the Hyatt, Sheraton, and Hilton hotels.
