This commercial development project, partnered with STARBUCKS coffee roasters, and humnlab+ architecture, looks at the feasibility and the under developed/appreciated usage to potential. Located on a high traffic corner, along Pacific Coast Highway, near and across the street from Redondo Beach High School, will only add to its current value and its potential to provide a professional atmosphere, and pander to current customers.

Currently, STARBUCKS, at this corner location generates 3.1M$ annually. Just by adding a drive through window, under the new development, will increase its revenue annually to a projected 5.6M$ location, almost doubling its currents output/revenue. STARBUCKS current property is two parcels, and the next two to the north are being acquired to become one CB-2 zone.
