The Ultimate Multi-Sector Development Opportunity: ±6.17-Acre Prime Corner in Gilroy, CA

A Rare Land Development Opportunity at Silicon Valley’s Southern Gateway

In the heart of South Santa Clara County, where Silicon Valley’s innovation corridor meets California’s agricultural heritage, a rare development opportunity is now available: ±6.17 acres of prime corner land located at 615 Rucker Ave, Gilroy, CA 95020.

Mostly flat, usable, and highly visible, this property offers the type of flexibility developers, investors, and visionary operators rarely find in a single site. Whether envisioned as a thriving agri-tourism destination, a next-generation EV charging campus, a boutique industrial park, or a mixed-use lifestyle venue, this property provides the scale, access, and strategic positioning to support multiple future concepts.

This is more than land—it is a platform for long-term value creation.

Strategic Location with Exceptional Accessibility

Situated near the intersection of major transportation corridors, including Highway 101 and Highway 152, the property benefits from strong regional connectivity and excellent visibility.

The site's corner positioning on Rucker Avenue provides:

• Prominent frontage and exposure
• Convenient ingress and egress
• High traffic visibility
• Strong branding potential
• Flexible site planning opportunities

As developable acreage becomes increasingly scarce throughout the Bay Area, large, usable parcels with strategic access continue to attract growing investor interest.

One Property. Multiple High-Value Development Paths.

1. Agri-Tourism & Farm-to-Table Destination

8

Gilroy's agricultural identity creates the perfect foundation for a destination-oriented farm experience.

Potential concepts may include:

• U-pick gardens and flower fields
• Farm-to-table restaurant or café
• Local produce marketplace
• Educational workshops and tours
• Petting zoo and family attractions
• Outdoor dining experiences
• Wedding and event venue
• Corporate retreats and private gatherings

Why It Works

This concept can generate multiple revenue streams through:

• Food and beverage sales
• Event rentals
• Agritourism admissions
• Retail product sales
• Educational programming
• Corporate functions

For families, it becomes a destination. For businesses, a gathering place. For investors, a lifestyle-focused experiential asset.

2. EV Charging Hub & Mobility Services Campus

6

California's transition toward electric vehicles continues to accelerate, creating demand for strategically located charging infrastructure.

Given the site's visibility and acreage, a future concept could potentially include:

• Large-scale EV charging stations
• Solar canopy structures
• Battery energy storage systems
• Convenience retail
• Coffee drive-thru operators
• Quick-service restaurant pads
• Car wash and detailing services
• Driver lounges and rest facilities

The Opportunity

EV charging creates customer dwell time.

While vehicles charge, consumers seek:

• Food
• Coffee
• Retail
• Restrooms
• Workspaces
• Vehicle services

That creates a powerful opportunity to combine infrastructure investment with recurring commercial revenue.

3. Industrial, Flex Space & Technology Campus

7

South Santa Clara County is increasingly attracting industrial and technology-support uses due to land constraints elsewhere in Silicon Valley.

Potential development concepts include:

• Flex industrial buildings
• Light manufacturing facilities
• Contractor service yards
• Warehousing and distribution
• Last-mile logistics operations
• Infrastructure support facilities
• Technology campus uses
• Boutique data center concepts

For investors seeking long-term exposure to industrial and infrastructure-related real estate, the site offers a compelling development canvas.

4. Signage & Passive Revenue Potential

The property's visibility presents an additional opportunity often overlooked by land investors.

Subject to applicable approvals, future improvements could potentially include:

• Monument signage
• Digital display installations
• Billboard opportunities
• Brand-forward site identification

Visibility itself can become an income-producing asset while enhancing awareness for on-site businesses.

Existing Residence Provides Immediate Utility

The property includes an existing 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence with approved remodeling plans and a redesigned open floor layout.

Potential uses include:

• Property management office
• Caretaker residence
• Interim rental income
• Development project office
• Administrative headquarters
• Hospitality support component

This existing structure provides added flexibility during planning, entitlement, and development phases.

Why Gilroy? Why Now?

Gilroy sits at a unique crossroads between Silicon Valley, California's Central Coast, and major inland transportation routes.

Key drivers supporting long-term growth include:

✔ Growing demand for experiential destinations

✔ Continued EV infrastructure expansion

✔ Increasing industrial and logistics requirements

✔ Limited supply of large developable parcels

✔ Ongoing residential growth throughout South County

✔ Strong long-term fundamentals for service-oriented commercial development

The result is a market offering both room to grow and strategic regional connectivity.
