18811 Colima Road presents a fully-designed, density-bonus-approved 105-unit apartment development on a 1.07-acre hard corner in Rowland Heights, in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. The project carries an approved Administrative Housing Permit (RPPL2023003872) with every density-bonus waiver granted, and a complete architectural, structural, civil, and MEP construction-document set — a buyer steps into a shovel-ready (RTI) entitlement with the entire design and approval runway already retired.
The approved program stacks four stories of Type V-A residential over a two-level Type I-A concrete parking podium, delivering 84 density-bonus apartments plus 21 ADUs for 105 total income units, 144 parking stalls, a Level-2 podium courtyard, clubhouse, gym, and dog run. The seller estimates remaining permits & fees of $1,167,190 to convert the approved plans into an issued building permit.
Administrative Housing Permit RPPL2023003872 is granted with all five density-bonus waivers, and the full construction-document set is complete. Years of design and discretionary-approval risk are already behind the project.
84 density-bonus apartments plus 21 state ADUs — an effective density (~98 du/ac of buildable area) that is difficult to replicate in low-density Rowland Heights.
57 one-bedroom + 27 two-bedroom homes plus 21 ADUs. Only 6 deed-restricted ELI units unlock the 55% density bonus — the balance (~98%) is market-rate.
Hard-corner visibility at Colima Road & Paso Real Avenue, with SR-60 access, in a San Gabriel Valley rental submarket that sees very little new multifamily delivery.


The approved program delivers 84 density-bonus apartments (57 one-bedroom and 27 two-bedroom homes) plus 21 accessory dwelling units, for 105 total income-producing units. State density-bonus law and the ADU statute together push effective density well beyond the base entitlement.

The heavy lifting is done. The project holds an approved Administrative Housing Permit (RPPL2023003872) with every requested density-bonus waiver granted, plus a complete multidisciplinary construction-document set. A buyer acquires a designed, approved, near-ready-to-issue project — not raw entitlement risk.
| Approved Density-Bonus Waiver | By-Right Standard | Approved |
|---|---|---|
| Building height | 35′-0″ | 74′-0″ |
| Lot coverage | 40% | 79% |
| Front setback (Colima) | 20′-0″ | 3′-0″ |
| Corner setback (Paso Real) | 5′-0″ | 1′-0″ |
| CSD residential buffer | 59′ additional | 7′-6″ provided |
| Podium-level landscaping | Ground-level | 48% on podium |
Approved, near-RTI multifamily development land is valued primarily on the entitlement it delivers — benchmarked on a per-unit, per-land-SF, and per-buildable-SF basis against comparable entitled / RTI apartment-site trades, then cross-checked against a residual analysis of stabilized value net of remaining cost to build. The metrics below frame where this offering sits at the indicated value band.
The 55% density bonus and 21 ADUs are approved — a buyer pays for delivered units, not the risk of pursuing them. This supports the upper end of the per-unit band.
A full, coordinated CD set and granted waivers compress the buyer’s timeline to permit issuance to the ~$1.17M fee payment, commanding a premium over raw-entitlement land.
Rowland Heights / east SGV sees little new multifamily delivery; 105 income units of new product is difficult to replicate, supporting rent durability and exit liquidity.
Buyer underwrites ~$1.17M in fees plus hard and soft construction costs against stabilized value. Land value is the residual — the band reflects current SGV costs and exit cap rates.
The illustrative pro forma below underwrites a merchant build at the $6,500,000 recommended list price. It pairs an estimated total cost to build — land, the remaining ~$1.17M in permits and fees, and construction — against a stabilized value derived from new Class-A rents, producing an estimated developer profit of ~$5.5M (~13.5% margin on cost). Hard cost is shown on a builder basis (~$270,000 / unit); a buyer self-performing, as the current owner-builder would, drives the development spread.
A complete picture for a buyer. Alongside the approved entitlement and the development upside, the items below are the principal headwinds that should be underwritten when pricing the opportunity.
Construction debt at ~8% carried over a ~2-year build is a material cost of capital that compresses returns and pressures the supportable land price.
A four-story Type V-A building over a two-level Type I-A concrete podium prices well above garden-style product; ~$300/SF is an aggressive floor for this structured-parking form, not a midpoint.
The value case leans toward a for-sale sellout rather than a refinance-and-hold; at current rents and exit caps a permanent loan may not fully repay cost, so no cash-out takeout should be assumed at certificate of occupancy.
The site earns no 30% LIHTC basis boost or affordable-financing advantage; the deed-restricted affordable units (6 ELI) are a cost of the density bonus, not a subsidy.
The 21 ADUs cannot be constructed until after the main building's certificate of occupancy, deferring that density and dragging carrying costs before the ADU upside can be delivered.
