5655 Almond, Paradise, CA 95969

Description

A truly rare downtown opportunity — three contiguous CB-zoned commercial parcels being offered together as one premier development opportunity in the heart of town.
Located in the highly desirable downtown district of Paradise, this combined 0.96-acre offering represents nearly unheard-of scale for the area. Large, unified commercial parcels in the downtown core are exceptionally scarce, making this a standout opportunity for investors, developers, or owner-users seeking presence and flexibility.
The downtown corridor has recently undergone significant infrastructure improvements, including new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and landscpaing — enhancing both aesthetics and pedestrian accessibility while reinforcing long-term investment value.
All three parcels feature active Paradise Irrigation District (PID) water accounts, an increasingly valuable and cost-prohibitive asset that provides a meaningful head start in the development process.
Positioned directly across from the local fire department and police department, the property offers a strong sense of civic presence and stability. Nestled within the charming and revitalized downtown setting, the site is within walking distance to Depot Park and the popular Paradise Recreation Trail — a well-loved walking and cycling path. Residents and visitors enjoy close proximity to local festivals and events, including Johnny Appleseed Days, Blues & Brews, Gold Nugget Days, and the summertime favorite weekly music event, Party in the Park, reflecting the town’s vibrant, outdoor-driven lifestyle.
Paradise is recognized as one of the fastest-growing communities in California, with an exceptional amount of rebuilding, construction, and development fueling both economic growth and lifestyle opportunities. The town’s active, recreation-focused culture — including hiking, biking, and scenic exploration nearby — makes this location appealing for businesses seeking visibility, traffic, and a connection to a thriving community.
Opportunities of this size and zoning flexibility in the downtown core are extraordinarily limited. Whether envisioning retail, mixed-use, professional offices, or a signature anchor development, this offering provides the scale, infrastructure, and community connection to bring a substantial vision to life.
