Investment Highlights The Calipatria Inn presents a unique opportunity for conversion into an apartment complex, capitalizing on its existing infrastructure and strategic location in a growing industrial area. With 41 rooms, including 8 suites, 21 double-bed rooms, and 12 king singles, the layout is well-suited for adaptation into a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. The existing amenities, such as a commercial kitchen, conference/dining area, and on-site management residential space, provide an excellent foundation for creating a community-oriented residential facility. The hotel's Spanish-style architecture offers an appealing aesthetic for a residential conversion, with minimal structural modifications required to transform it into a desirable living space. Each room could be repurposed into a self-contained apartment, featuring modern finishes, small kitchenettes, and updated bathrooms to meet tenant needs. The spacious lobby and dining area could serve as communal spaces for residents, fostering a sense of community and adding to the property's value. Given its location in the heart of an area poised for significant growthdriven by geothermal energy, lithium mining, and agriculturethere is increasing demand for affordable housing for local workers and families. Converting the hotel into apartments would not only meet this demand but also provide a steady income stream for investors. The pool area could be revitalized as an attractive shared amenity, while the existing on-site management quarters offer an ideal space for a property manager or staff. The property's independence from any major hotel chain makes it an ideal candidate for redevelopment. Creative financing options offered by the sellers further enhance its appeal, enabling potential buyers to undertake the necessary improvements for the conversion at a manageable cost. With relatively low barriers to entry and strong market demand, transforming the Calipatria Inn into an apartment complex is a lucrative opportunity to create much-needed housing in a rapidly evolving region.
