Location
San Diego International Airport Downtown San Diego Pedestrian Bridge Interstate 5 San Diego Convention CenterThe Subject Property is located at 2801 India Street on a vacant site at the corner of India & Olive Streets adjacent to Downtown San Diego’s walkable Little Italy neighborhood (www.littleitalysd.com). The site is a short Uber ride to San Diego’s most famous amenities, including Little Italy, Downtown San Diego, Seaport Village, the Embarcadero, Petco Park, The Gaslamp District, and the San Diego Convention Center. The site is a few hundred feet away from the northbound India Street exit ramp (14,200+ cpd) of I-5 (233,147+ cpd) and is the first corner lot past India Street from the freeway, which offers easy access to Little Italy and Downtown San Diego (1.4 miles South). The edge of San Diego International Airport is less than 0.5 miles away from the departures and arrival terminal, just across India Street and the freeway. Both the airport and Downtown San Diego can be reached from the property in about 5 minutes.
The subject benefits from being just 1.3 miles southeast from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego (MCRD). This will be a major demand driver for the hotel as the recruitment depot graduates approximately 21,000 cadets each year spread out over approximately 40 weeks. Families will often come watch the graduation of 300-600 cadets on the weekend and the subject property is ideally suited to serve those travelers due to the bed count.
The 15,246/SF parcel is currently being used for parking, and the site is already fully entitled as a hotel and shovel ready. The property will contain a modern four story building with three levels of luxury suites spread out over a ground floor lobby/ reception area. The project is designed to house 25 fully furnished condo-style suites.

• Since the sponsor underwote that 100% of the occupied units would pay a $25 dollar fee for parking, Westcap assumes that the parking is included and added $25 to the room rate, this wold make the most sense since otherwise the management would have to collect a $25 fee from each room individually via cash or an additional charge order with Airbnb. So the parking will either be Free or $25.

Project Design Description
Design Advantage – Bed count matters. City 24’s suites utilize the highest quality, modern sofa-tobed, chair-to-bed, and collapsible double bunk bed furniture configurations to maximize the bed count and optimize its online presence. When appealing to the multiple room user and the large family segment of the hospitality market, the higher the bed count, the greater the online visibility.
The subject includes ten 2-bedroom, 3-bath units that sleep 9 people. There are also thirteen 1-bedroom, 2-bath units that sleep 5 people and two 1-bedroom, 1-bath units that sleep 4 people.

The subject includes ten 2-bedroom, 3-bath units that sleep 9 people. There are also thirteen 1-bedroom, 2-bath units that sleep 5 people and two 1-bedroom, 1-bath units that sleep 4 people.
It is worth noting that the subject is fully entitled and legally allowed to operate as an Airbnb, this is not the case for many other short term rental properties. This year, San Diego passed the ShortTerm Residential Occupancy ordinance (STRO), which will put in place many new regulations on short term rental properties. Most notably, the total number of whole-home, short term rentals will be capped at 1% of the citys housing stock, this will reduce the number of whole home rentals from around 14,700 to 5,4001. Therefore, It apears much of the subjects competiton will go offline July 1, 2022.

Exhibit A
Multi-Family Conversion
Exhibit A
(Analysis if Multi-family)
The City 24 Hotel is located in the Uptown Community Plan Area and is zoned CC-3-4 which allows for both visitor accommodation (hotel), multifamily apartments, or a combination of both. Although the development has been permitted as a 25-guest room hotel with approved Site Development Permit & Building Permit, the property could likely be converted to apartments by utilizing the City of San Diego’s Complete Communities Housing Solutions Ordinance referenced below.
Complete Communities Housing Solutions Ordinance
In 2020 San Diego added a new density bonus allowance to its zoning code which includes incentives aimed at encouraging the building of homes near high-frequency transit This new zoning law amends the City’s Affordable Housing Regulations to provide an unlimited density bonus, various other “incentives” to projects that (1) are in Transit Priority Areas (TPAs) and (2) provide certain “affordable” components. The subject property is located within a TPA and could accommodate the affordable components required in order to qualify. The affordable requirements would include rent restricting a total of 5 of the 25 units with 2 at 50% area median income (AMI), 1 at 60% AMI, and 2 at 120% AMI (in addition to other design requirements) to qualify for unlimited residential density within Tier 3. More information can be found online at: https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/ default/files/ordinance-21275.pdf
Since the subject property has the potential to be a multifamily property in the future as a fall back option, we have analyzed this scenario in the following pages. The borrower’s consultant, Bishop Ventures, LLC recently converted a new hotel to a multifamily property and it took 3 months to get the change of use approved (a more conservative estimate would be 6-12 months).
Exhibit A Market
City 24 is located at the very edge of CoStar’s Coronado/Point Loma multi-family submarket, which covers from Coronado Island to the San Diego Airport.
